#gotgpicoftheday @michael_rooker as Yondu on the monitor clowning around during our first screen test. This was my third movie with with Rooker, not to mention the two reality shows, a video game, and a web series we had done as well. I remember this being a joyous day, the two of us having come a long way and about to to take a huge, fun step together.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is presented by Marvel Studios and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gilian, Djimon Hounsou with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and Benicio del Toro as The Collector. Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film opens August 1, 2014

Oh come on, Nomis. We could have done without that one, bro.

Guardians is such a phenomenal film.

Arguably the best comic book movie of all time.

To me.

Individual opinions may differ.

MarkyMarkRises - 11/13/2014, 12:31 PM

Let me get this straight, out of ALL the morbid jokes about pedophilia, racism, sexism, murder, discrimination, and various other stereotypes, Nomis's joke about a dead Raccoon was removed simply because the largely held opinion on this website is that Guardian's of the Galaxy is the greatest movie of all time?

Sooo there's only gonna be like three featurettes on the bluray release, and they're gonna show half of it before it comes out? Right...

Was this it?

One of the most convincing CGI characters since Planet of the Apes.

PymParticle - 11/13/2014, 1:37 PM

James Gunn kind of looks like Groot with his hair and length, maybe he should have done the voice.

If i could change casting of this movie:
Saldana out
Diesel out

+ I would say Bautista but I think the blame here is mostly art department as he got the characterization mostly right but the appearance was poor. Shouldve made him look more like he did in the concept art. I hate how they always give them human eyes, Nebula looked so much cooler with her pitch black eyes.

@InfiniteMonkey

It was nothing special, just a tast..., WAIT, @NOMIS HOW DID YOU GET HERE?! NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT SHOWEL! PEOPLE HAVE TO KNOW, THEY HAVE TO KNOW THAT IS WAS e;fASGJejsEDGHA.kd.............

James Gunn is an amazing director. If you love Guardians of the Galaxy please for the love of god check out Slither, extremely underrated film.
