Chris Pratt Lands GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Lead
Chris Pratt Lands GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Lead
After countless shortlist stories and rumors concerning who would play Star-Lord in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the search for the lead role is finally over, and fittingly the actor is someone who never appeared on any of the aforementioned lists. Deadline reports that Chris Pratt has been tapped to play Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, a character who was born of a human mother and alien father, and is a master strategist and combat expert who wears an ability-enhancing suit and pilots a psychically-linked ship. As Guardians features a cast of strange and cosmic characters, Quill was an important role to fill because he will likely act as the audience’s introduction to the vast, unfamiliar Guardians world. Hit the jump for more. There were plenty of actors rumored for the role that made a lot of sense (John Krasinski, Zachary Levi, etc.), and Deadline notes that Marvel made test deals with Joel Edgerton, Jack Huston, Lee Pace, and Eddie Redmayne, but Chris Pratt actually seems like a perfect fit. His comic timing is excellent as evidenced by his work on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, and he’s shown his talent on the dramatic side with Moneyball and 2012’s Zero Dark Thirty, for which he also proved that he can beef up for a role if need-be. Looking back on the previous shortlists and taking Pratt into consideration, it’s clear that writer/director James Gunn is planning on injecting a good amount of humor into Guardians of the Galaxy. A rumor surfaced recently that Marvel was looking at possibly tapping Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler to do voice work in the film (one of the guardians is a talking raccoon), so I’m interested to see the tone that Gunn settles on for the finished film. With the role of Star-Lord secure, Gunn and Marvel now look to filling out the rest of the cast, which includes the powerful Drax the Destroyer, a giant tree named Groot, the aforementioned Rocket Raccoon, and the female lead Gamora. The story is also rumored to involve the villain Thanos. Expect to hear more soon as production gears up to begin later this year. Guardians of the Galaxy will be released in 3D on August 1, 2014. |

Usually I love their stuff, but this one I could only make through the first five minutes. Probably mostly personal bias since I loved this movie. Stopped watching about where he's complaining about Drax not understanding the hand across the throat. Obviously a culturally ignorant comment if you just think about the differences in offensive hand signals across different groups of people. Also though the "police line up cliche" comment was reaching. I can't remember a movie I've seen like that since the 80's or 90's.

I haven't watched a Cinema Sins video in a while, but when I saw this one was 15 minutes I did a double take. I can't imagine I'll be watching these too often in the future. They used to be awesome.
HISHE and Honest Trailers both made fun of the movie and both were hilarious. After watching them again, I feel better knowing it's not just my love of GotG coloring my judgement of Cinema Sins. "Because **** you, we're Marvel. That's Why. Whadda you gonna do, watch DC?!"

Just in case anyone thought Disney would shy away from violence with Marvel...

There they are, then they are all dead. GOTG didn't show the faces of 80,000+ people die.
