Guardians of the Galaxy Packs a Double Punch

By James Robert Shaw (The Wind up Geek)

In two days we’ll learn more about what we may expect from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Will it topple all competition and be called the blockbuster of the summer or will it be known as the summer I got too over excited and parted with my ticket money. For now I’ll say who cares. It is science fiction and goodness knows I’m still waiting for a new decent sci-fi to satisfy me. Sorry, Ridley Scott.

But until I am in the theatre on opening night, here is two teaser trailers to tide our readers over.


 

 
And keep in mind fellow Geeks that with the world premiere of the trailer Monday, May 19th at https://www.facebook.com/guardiansofthegalaxy, there will also be a live Q & A with the cast at 10am PT!

Confirmed for the Q & A will be cast members Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, and Director James Gunn.

Impressions from the Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer

Guardians of the Galaxy

The Guardians of the Galaxy have been unleashed and while everyone on Earth who is not a comic book reader is asking, “who?” the film will no doubt answer that in no short order. Or should that be one long? With Rocket Raccoon presenting that one end of the spectrum and Groot, the tree-like humanoid (not an Ent), for the other, the focus will no doubt be with Peter Jason Quill (Chris Pratt), the Star Lord who is jonesing for trouble after attempting to steal an orb.

This full length trailer is setting up this movie to be a science fiction action adventure comedy. It will no doubt be a tale to show the origin of the group, but as the trailer ends, they have become a group already. Hints of each of them being rogue will set up some interesting dysfunctional family type moments, and that can be humourous to see.

But as for whether not that this type of story direction is going to be right, that will be up to audiences to decide when this movie releases August 1, 2014.

Bradley Cooper in talks to be the Voice of Rocket Raccoon?

And as for whether or not this night time hunter will work on the big screen, early leaked trailers shows that any fears or qualms of Rocket Racoon failing has been mulched.

CooperGuardians of the Galaxy may well be Marvel Entertainment’s next big thing. But when viewers are not all that acquainted with the hodge-podge cast of the galaxy’s greatest warriors, raccoons included, just who is going to voice this angry beaver?

First, newcomers to this series should not equate this alien being to any earth animal — even if the beaver is of a different species. The voice that may emerge out of this alien species that resembles a raccoon may well be that of Bradley Cooper.

Guardians Leaked Trailer

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movie trailer could get taken down soon. Take a look at it while it’s still available. From what I have seen there is also a X-Men: Days of Future Past leaked trailer but it appears within half a day it has been removed. The Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is poor quality but you would expect it since it’s source is coming from a geek cam in the crowd.

 

Characters such as Rocket Racoon, Groot, Rhomann Dey (John C. Reilly), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Star Lord (Chris Pratt) can be seen.

And the song that you hear for the trailer is Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Swede.
