Guardians of the Galaxy: Zoe Saldana is Gamora, the film’s real Hero and the best thing to happen to Marvel and Disney

Although Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill is the focus of the movie, I think one could argue that Zoe Saldana’s green alien Gamora is the movie’s moral center and real hero. She just needs the help of some other unlikely heroes to accomplish her galaxy saving… Read More »Guardians of the Galaxy: Zoe Saldana is Gamora, the film’s real Hero and the best thing to happen to Marvel and Disney

Guardians of the Galaxy Behind the Scenes: Inside Star Lord’s spaceship – the Milano

Like in Star Wars, it might be claimed that the real star of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy are its space ships. The Milano is to Peter Quill as the Millennium Falcon is to Han Solo. It’s his trusty steed and contains precious cargo.

It is versatile enough to operate in a dog fight, yet large enough to carry the team into danger. Director James Gunn wanted it to have a “muscle car” feel. I love its retro-vibe

Yeah, so that owes a lot to MTV’s Cribs. Here’s a little bit of trivia. Director James Gunn confirmed, via twitter, that the ship is called the Milano after Alyssa Milano, Peter Quill’s childhood crush. That’s just another awesome detail that makes this movie fantastic!

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Reboots Summer Box Office With $94 Million Take

GOTG_Payoff_1-ShtA few weeks ago those in the know would have told you Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” had a tough road ahead of it. It had unknown characters, an unproven lead actor, a director best known for films that are kind of out there, and was opening in an already dreary summer as far as box office goes. A Marvel film without super heroes? Who would go see it?

Turns out, just about everyone. Early estimates for the weekend show James Gunn’s space opera ringing in $94 million in space credits. That’s a new record for August openings. That’s freakin’ fantastic. The Global Box Office is now over $160 Million already. Not too shabby.Read More »Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Reboots Summer Box Office With $94 Million Take
