The Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is here. And it’s 80’stastic.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a highly anticipated Marvel movie, adapted from a cult comic of their own. This adaptation is directed by James Gunn (Super, Slither) and starring various actors from TV shows and well known actors from major blockbuster movies as well. It tells the story about Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star Lord (Chris Pratt, Parks and Rec) and four other individuals, known as the Guardians of the Galaxy: Gamora (Zoe Saldana, Avatar), Rocket Racoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper, The Hangover), Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel, Fast and Furious), and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista, WWE champion). As Peter Quill finds an orb, the quintet found themselves hunted down by villains Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace, Pushing Daisies) and Nebula (Karen Gillan, Doctor Who).
The trailer itself was debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Before the trailer’s released, Marvel released an exciting 15-second teaser, to ‘ease the waiting pain’. Well, that IS truly needed for people like me. Anyway, here it is:
The trailer itself is a joyride of cinematic proportions. It opens with an epic scenario of our hero entering the orb’s den. It leads to a rather comical background of the film; also a montage of events in the film. The music itself is a remix of Blue Swede’s Hooked on a Feeling, an 80s song (also, keep in mind that Peter Quill is an 80s kid). I’ve known this song since I watched Reservoir Dogs and it is a great blend to this trailer; quirky and unconventional.
Curious? Watch for yourself.
How’s that? So, clap your hands if you can’t wait 6 months for this movie to come out. Because, I can’t.
ALSO: When you think that this movie’s couldn’t get any better, that over there as Nova Corps Officers are John C. Reilly (Wreck-It Ralph, Step Brothers) and Peter Serafinowicz (Shaun of the Dead, Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace). Makes you want to make a huge time machine, and transport yourself to August 2014 to a cinema near you.
