- GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
When Marvel Studios announced last month that they were
gearing up for a movie starring the space-faring Guardians of the Galaxy, there
were lots of fan discussions about who could possibly direct such a venture, a
film that woud require action and humor as well as an ability to manage a huge
amount of special FX.
The Hollywood Reporter has recently reported that, filmmaker
James Gunn is being mentioned as one of Marvel's top choices to direct the
movie, saying that they like his sensibilities and his ability to mix action
and horror, something he shares with The Avengers director Joss Whedon (who
also wrote and produced the long-delayed Cabin in the Woods, released a month
before the summer blockbuster).

Gunn previously directed the horror comedy Slither and the
violent superhero comedy Super, starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page, neither
huge box office successes, but before that, he wrote the Dawn of the Dead
remake for Zack Snyder and the Warner Bros. live action Scooby-Doo and its
sequel.
The original script for "Guardians" was drafted by
Nicole Sperling and earlier this month, Marvel Studios hired Chris McCoy to
rewrite the space adventure that recently had a synopsis released on a tracking
board stating that the movie's about "a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in
the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons
who have something everyone wants."
Guardians of the Galaxy is schedule to release on August 1st
2014.
