Captain America Movie

[Barkworm]

I can't believe they're doing this. Is there really anyone outside the US who is going to watch this film?

I love Marvel's characters. So I will. And I know a friend who will also. Other than that, it's just in the marketing

Not too shabby, love the modern look on it. It looks a lot better then Reb Brown's Costumes.

but I was hoping for something simple like the scale mail chest and simple pants, like he had during Civil War

What kind of closed-minded attitude would compel you to even ask that question?

I'm in the U.K, and I've loved Cap since I was a kid, I played The Avengers video games, hell I liked the first Cap movie (HEIL HITLER), more to the point, the character is also one of the few Marvel heroes in their roster over the last few years not to come off as a well-intentioned fascist, control freak, or satanist (you know...exactly what Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, and the "mainstream" Spider-Man are)

Cap is more true to the vision of freedom we'd ALL like to see for American than the image of America we know isnt going to materialize unless there's a revolutionary revolt against the capatalist drive that enslaves it.

The truth is Cap is more relevant outside of America than he is WITHIN America

Stanley Tucci has been cast as Dr. Erskine....so uh a short role for him... Dr. Erskine was the scientist who developed the super soldier serum and was eventually killed... So Stanley Tucci will be in the movie for maybe 5 or 6 min. *lol*

Comic con starts on Thursday so there'll be tons of news. But to get things started the new Capt America poster for the film has already been revealed!

[ooglafina]

I saw that yesterday. Raph's Girl, you are certainly on top of things.

Not sure what to think about this:
"He wants to serve his country, but he's not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver," Johnston said. "He's just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don't change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier; you have to stay who you are inside, that's really what's important more than your strength and everything. It'll be interesting and fun to put a different spin on the character and one that the fans are really going to appreciate."

I mean, I understand that Cap is kinda dated, but what's wrong with him being a proud American boy? Is being proud of you national origin wrong for some reason? I mean is Cap really "jingoistic"?

[Candy Kappa]

maybe they'll give him a BAD*SS ULTIMATE treatment, the kind who don't care if children get hurt.


Cap is supposed to be "dated" he's from the 40's

So this is ****ing stupid.

Captain America Director: Shooting Native 3D Too Hard, Let's Just Do It In Post-Production

While there's mounting evidence indicating that the 3D movie fad that took off with the release of Avatar has been losing steam in recent months, just one glance at the long list of films slated for filming in 3D show definitively how Hollywood's not ready to abandon the format just yet. After all, a lot of studios and theaters alike have sunk a huge amount of money into the toys necessary to film, edit and project 3D movies, meaning you can expect to be putting on ill-fitting, uncomfortable plastic glasses for years to come until they pay off those bills.

Now, I know there are 2D purists out there that despise the format for drawing attention away from the essential elements of film in favor of a few scant scenes where **** pops off the screen, but did you know that some directors don't like shooting in native 3D either for how difficult it is to work with the requisite equipment? Well, one director at least: Captain America's Joe Johnston. Check out what he said in an interview with Earth's Mightiest (via Cinematical):

"The cameras and their necessary hard and software made up one of the most cumbersome and unwieldy packages I've ever had the misfortune to work with. I couldn't move the camera at a high rate of speed, I couldn't fit it through tight spaces, lens changes took 45 minutes...if the two lenses weren't perfectly calibrated to the exact same focal plane, the shot was unwatchable. It's harder to fast cut an action sequence because your eye needs time to re-establish the depth of each shot. The biggest drawback is that it would have added 30 days to the schedule. For all these reasons and more, I decided to shoot the picture 2D and convert it."

Well, that helps explain the rash of 2D to 3D conversions of late. But now I'm properly worried about how this film's going to look. In an interview a couple weeks back, James Cameron--who more or less spearheaded development of the camera tech Johnston is complaining about--said that good 3D conversions can take several months of careful editing and a keen eye for depth on screen. Is Johnston ready to spend six months in post-production gussying this thing up, or are we going to have another Clash of the Titans on our hands?

Source dos.


You know what a good idea would be? Not making 3d movies when it isn't necessary.

And if it's so much of a hassle....don't make a 2d movie and then add in ******** 3d. You're adding NOTHING.

Also...why does a WWII movie need to be in 3d? Just cause the guy throws a shield? Come the **** on.

The public will always have the delusional belief that spending extra cash on impractical **** makes them look cool. 3D should only be used for CGI, IMO.

[Raph's Girl]

Hmm

[deadpoolRKO]

i'm suprised they didn't cast Ryan Reynolds. He's playin deadpool , Green Lantern , before that was rumored to play Flash.

He'll end up doing an entire justice leauge by himself like Eddie Murphy in the nutty professor

[gobo]

Gimmeabreak. There was no Justice League in The Nutty Professor. Noobs...

[IamtheKnight]

I have never read any Captain America comics before and I want to read some before I see this movie. Which ones should I start off with?

[deadpoolRKO]

That trailer is awesome!

&& i've never read his series but the Civil War arc was really good. Not neccisarily a Captain America story tho
