Guardians of the Galaxy Gets A Trailer... OOOOOOHHHHH, I'M HOOOOKED ON A FEELINNNNNN !!!!

When the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was scrubbed from the Super Bowl broadcast, I began to gte concerned. How could a 2 minute trailer not be ready for a movie due out this summer? Was Marvel lacking that much confidence in a film meant to carry on the epic run the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been on? What the Fuck! But then the actual trailer came out, and... well, I must say that I owe Marvel an apology. I owe them an apology because over the past ten years they have hit film after film out of the park. I owe them an apology because they have weaved together a cohesive universe over multiple films that is constantly moving forward. And most of all I owe them an apology because they have never given me a reason to doubt them, and I started too. But after 2 minutes and 31 seconds, I realized what an idiot I am! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! The trailer was perfect. The tone of the film seems amazing, James Gunn's style is all over this trailer. All the alien tech and characters look amazing. Drax looks rugged. Gamora sexy and deadly. Starlord... Starlord is hysterical! The highlight of course is Groot & Rocket. Rocket looks and sounds pretty spot on. The spitting also drives home the characters rudeness. Groot looks epic, and him being Rocket's muscle is probably going to lead to some really fun action scenes. I also love the simpleness of the character... its pretty spot on. Can this be any better? I don't know how. You have probably seen it already, but if not have at it after the jump. Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters on August 1st, 2014...

Zoe Saldana Is Playing Gamora In 'Guardians of the Galaxy'... Color Me Intrigued!!!!

Casting news abound... and this is the kind of casting news that gets people excited for a project that is still 16 months away. Zoe Saldana, who is quickly becoming a fave among genre fans, has been cast as Gamora in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. Saldana is an intricate part of JJ Abrams Star Trek rebooted universe, was in Avatar, and was in comic book adaption The Losers (a very underrated movie...check it). She knows her way around a comic con... but this role will earn her infinite geek cred in the foreseeable future. Click after the jump for more...

James Gunn Has A New Short Called 'Humanzee' & It's Just As Twisted As You Would Expect

Check out this new short film from 'Slither' & 'Super' director James Gunn that features himself raising a half human, half chimpanzee hybrid monster as a child of his own. It also features porn star Jenna Haze... but unfortunately she is not getting nude (sorry fellas!!!). I am a big fan of Gunn's work (he also wrote 'Dawn of the Dead' for Zack Snyder), so I think you will enjoy this one. Thanks to Johnny over at Freddy in Space for the tip (click here to read Johnny's cool ass horror blog!)

Who Wants To Come To A Screening Of James Gunn's 'Super' With Us On 3/30/2011?

Usually whenever I get preview opportunities here at CCD I take along my partner in crime Jeff Bond for the ride. If he can't make it, I usually offer it to someone else from the supporting crew... but this is a rare occasion. I am attending a screening for James Gunn's 'Super' alongside Jeff, but we got an extra ticket... so who wants to come with us?

OK, here are the rules. First of all, the screening is on Wed. March 30th. Second of all, it's in Downtown Brooklyn (secret location). Third, you must be at the location by 6:45 pm. If you can't fulfill all three of those requirements, don't even bother responding to the following question. But if you can do all three of the above, answer me this:

If you were going to take on the persona of a Superhero, tell us what your theme would be. Describe your costume, weapons/tools, and overall back story of your character in the comment section below. This is in the vein of 'Super', so your hero must have NO SUPERPOWERS... think more like a Batman type, not a Superman type. Tell me your story in the comment section below and you must be a follower of the blog to win. I declare the winner Tuesday right here on CCD. Lets what you guys got.

Captain Mal Reynold's Endorses 'Super'... That Is Good Enough For Me

I follow Nathan Fillion, aka Captain Mal Reynolds of 'Firefly' on Twitter. When the good Captain speaks, I listen. He is one of the stars of James Gunn's upcoming low budget superhero black comedy 'Super'. It also stars Ellen Page and Rainn Wilson. We have seen bits and pieces of footage from the film over the past few months, and now we got a full length trailer/featurette that was Tweeted by Mr Fillion yesterday. Wow, this one looks like it is gonna be a doosy. I am quite the fan of Gunn's film Slither (which also featured Fillion), as I am a fan of, both, Wilson & Page. Not to mention I am down with any film that will have Rob Zombie playing God (hehehe... can't believe I just wrote that). Anyway, give this clip a look. 'Super' hits theaters in April.
