According to Latino review, they have an exclusive that Marvel's OTHER movie in 2014 (Cap 2 being the first) will be the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. I am excited, I absolutely love Marvel's outer space adventures...and with Thanos being featured in the first post-credits scene in Avengers it makes sense. Can't wait, hope it makes Green Lantern look like a pile of puke!
Also, here's an Amazon link if you want to bone up.

I think that this might be about the new guardians of the galaxy.
Yeah, I know. I like old school comic covers. I'm old.
Interesting. Very interesting! :)
Got a release date and some pre-production art from Comic-con!
WOW! This could be very cool.
The Guardians of the Galaxy are in the current issue of Avengers Assemble. They will also be in issue #6. I don't know beyond issue #6.
Some of you may be interested in this. Chris Pratt from Zero Dark Thirty to lead the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Looks like casting has started. Actor Chris Pratt will be playing the team's leader...
James Gunn and Marvel Studios have finally found their Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) – Chris Pratt (Parks & Recreation, Zero Dark Thirty)!
Yesterday it was announcement that Pratt would portray Quill in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy film. The character, a half-alien ex-astronaut, is the leader of the titular Guardians. His powers (telepathic link with a spaceship, to name one) were given to him by a being called the Master of the Sun. Expect at least one joke to be made in the film version regarding how easy a mind-to-vehicle link makes parking. Before Pratt, the following actors were considered for the role: Joel Egerton (another Zero Dark Thirty alumnus), Jim Sturgess (Across The Universe), Lee Pace (Pushing Daises), and Zachary Levi (Chuck). Pretty much every working actor between 25-25, too.
Guardians of the Galaxy will be the third entry in Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe; it will be released on August 1, 2014. The internet has been all abuzz this week about the possibility of the forthcoming films setting up the "Planet Hulk" storyline from the comics. In it, Bruce Banner/Hulk is banished to another planet by Marvel's Illuminati due to how dangerous he had become. It's a pretty sweet arc that would definitely work well on film.
What do you think of Pratt as Peter Quill?

Weird, I'm not familiar with these characters at all! Except Galactus of course...
Looks like Zoe Saldana might be joining the cast as Gamora.

I'm not sure why but I get a sense of the first "whiff" from Marvel's movie machine that's been churning out hit after hit. Rocket Raccoon? Really?
I see a bit of what you mean. The Guardians is going to be a tricky thing to pull off. But I have faith in the Disney/Marvel team at this point.
I'm loving the new Guardians comics. If they follow that model, I think it could be a fun movie.
I find it weird I've never even heard of this comic and I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about the Marvel universe. It sort of feels like I'm in an alternate quantum reality (like my favorite Trek episode Parralels) where things are mostly the same but just a little bit different or off...
There's a brand new series that just started. It's a great jumping on point, there was a really cool Issue 0 last month to set it all up.
Cool, pre-production art image.
Cool - Vin Diesel is Groot!

First pic of the Guardians! Still can't believe this is actually getting made.
COOL! Been really enjoying the comic too.
Is that raccoon actually from the comic book?
Oh yeah he is! He's a bad-a$$ too!
Never got into this comic with the old series or the new one. I may try to catch the graphic novels from the library. The more I see about the movie does get more excited about it. I mean I was going to go to it anyway but seeing pics and reading different things about it is really building my excitement.
Anyone seen a trailer yet?
No trailer as of yet. This is a late summer release. Hoping for a little something during the Superbowl.
Some new art, images are up.

Well, it's no Avengers but looks like it could be a fun romp. I think the "Hooked on a Feeling" song at the end kind of took away some of the awesome factor. Probably wasn't the best choice of soundbyte in my opinion.

I actually liked that song being in there, my wife stared singing along. It reminds me of the Girl from Iponima that the use in Helix.

This is going to be so much fun. I hope they have the music from the trailers in the movie. The released a couple of prequel comics for Guardians of the Galaxy which were not to bad.
I like this poster a lot.
Best trailer so far I think. Very excited for this movie!

Can't wait, can't wait to see this! Probably Sat or Sunday depending the wife's work hours on Sat.
GOING TOMORROW!!!
Taking the whole family next Friday for the matinee to celebrate my son's 9th Birthday. Can't wait!
Saw it today and LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! This movie is fantastic. My favorite of the summer. GO SEE IT NOW!!! :)
Better than Cap 2 & X-Men Rico?

Tricky question, but in a way for me yes. It's just a heck of a lot of fun! Cap 2 and X-Men were great but they were very serious movies. Guardians is just so much fun to watch. I want to go see it again right now!
I'm sold, need a fun movie very soon!
You weren't lying Rico! Fabulous movie, I had a great time.

Yep I was very dubious about this film going in, based on not ever reading any of the Guardians comics and not being familiar at all with the characters. I've always preferred Marvel stories that are firmly grounded on the planet Earth, and when series I love like the Avengers and the X-Men take their detours into outer space I generally skip out or grit my teeth and bear it. I don't know a Kree from a Shi'ar, but this movie was so well done that it didn't matter a bit. And I just read this flick made almost 100 mil this weekend! Marvel just can't lose, with even B-list characters doing so well. Can't wait for Phase 3! Dr. Strange should be amazing, especially if the rumors are true and Joaquin Phoenix is playing the good Doctor.
Is it too soon to go again? :)
I am with you Rico, I want to go see it again. Really enjoyed this movie a lot, might be my favorite of the summer.
Over $220 million worldwide already in less than a week. Still busting records.
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=121601 (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=121601)
Listening to the soundtrack right now while in Milwaukee for a race and seeing it again Tuesday.
Awesome Movie. Nearly fell out of my chair at the [spoiler]Ranger Rick[/spoiler] line. Also at Groot's [spoiler]Weeping Angel[/spoiler] impersonation. I may be the only person who loved the stinger, but that may be because I remember [spoiler]Cherry Bomb was one of the band's songs from the 80s Howard the Duck movie[/spoiler]. Which I also loved.
I wasn't planning on seeing this, but the praise seems universal.
GO NOW!!!
I am hoping to see it again this week if possible, it has been awhile since I had that feeling about a movie. There are movies I enjoy a lot, and then there are movies that seem to touch something in me, I guess my inner child, this was one of them. Over the past few years, Pacific Rim and Super 8 hit that spot with me. After seeing GOTG, the kid in me, wanted to be like Star Lord, have a cool ship, and travel the Galaxy doing both Legal and Illegal stuff :).
We hope to catch this during the week. I want to bring the kids with me.
I did get to see this last Sunday with my wife and we both liked it but it doesn't seem to be as much as most of you did. Now saying that we were both pretty tired going in and probably should have waited till later to see it. She has been working a LOT of hours over 50 two weeks going now and she did doze off. I was just tired from not sleeping well but I didn't doze off. I did like it and would give it a 7 out of 10 and it will be a Blu-ray buy when it comes out. I also didn't know the characters that well like I have some of the other Marvel movie characters and maybe that was part of it. I'm not sure but I can say I enjoyed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, X-Men: Days of Future Past and Transformers more so far this summer. Saying that this is one to see on a big theater screen and if it strikes you stay till the end of the credits.
I think it will end up being THE best summer movie this year...fun, action, laughs, effects, and fun! Always enjoyed it when Marvel went into space...bring on NOVA!

Cover art for the soundtrack - so cool! Could this movie get any more awesome prior to release?
Heads up, there are two soundtracks available at iTunes. The first is the Brian Tyler original score, which I rated many of the tracks 4 and a few 5s. Then there is a separate soundtrack for just the oldies that are associated with the graphic you showed. Of course, you can get both for about $19 total. I personally have liked both and did not have most of the Raw Tape selections on my iPod yet.

Bryan Tyler is becoming the Marvel composer to beat! Loved his Thor Dark World score.
I bought both, the Awesome Mix has some real feel-good music on it, I blast it.
Saw this last night with the family (in 3D - the only show we could make). It was fun, even though I didn't know any of the background. As usual, Zoe looked delightful. :)
Glad you finally saw it Pete.
