In the following video interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Vin Diesel talks in detail about playing Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, but reveals something even more interesting about Marvel's "Phase 3" plans. As it turns out, he originally met with the studio to discuss starring in a new IP (intellectual property) which would have been released in 2016 or 2017 and kicked off the next wave of movies. What that could be is anyone's guess, but it sounds like the Riddick star will be fully committing to the role of Groot by providing his voice and motion capture.

Michael Rooker Tweets about Yondu and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

*When asked what movie he would like to do after Guardians of the Galaxy, Rooker answered, "Another Guardians. Duh."

*Rooker said that it takes "about an hour and a half and two more days to make sure" his blue body paint (for the role of Yondu) is all off.

*While talking about joining the Marvel universe, Rooker jokingly said, I'm in a Marvel movie and its paying my mortgage right now. Love Marvel. Sh*t Yes!!!!!!"

*Rooker first heard about Guardians of the Galaxy from director James Gunn.

*When confusingly asked if he had spent any time with Yondu before playing the character, Rooker joked, "Yeah I visited Yondu. We had a couple pints in London".

*When asked if he had to learn a new skill for Guardians of the Galaxy, Rooker joked, "No, I showed them a few."

*Apparently, Rooker is still filming scenes for Guardians of the Galaxy.

"We are happy to share the news, our raccoon Oreo got his chance to star. He can work in James Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy', and will be a model for the Jet raccoon. This news is very pleased us and we are so happy to be a part of this project. All, and especially James Gunn, refer to the Oreo with kindness and respect, and as always, our little friend is attracting attention to himself. We are very grateful for this opportunity and can not wait for the film."

According to AmericanActorsUK, (a casting agency for actors with American accents in the UK) actress Laura Haddock will be playing a character named 'Meredith' in Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy film. Haddock's credits include a small role in Captain America: The First Avenger, as well as the TV series, DaVinci's Demons. Also, Janis Ahern will be playing 'Meredith's Mother.'

 

For those of you who haven't read the comics, Meredith is the name of Peter Quill's mother who is

killed by aliens when Peter is just a child. We've already heard that the film would be going over Peter Quill's (aka Star-Lord) origin story, but up until now, we had no idea who was playing Peter's mother.

Vin Diesel Confirms He Only Has ONE Line of Dialog

"My father taught me there are no small roles, only small actors. I only have one line in the movie, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm still going to make it the best possible thing I can."

Chris Pratt & Michael Rooker On Bradley Cooper's 'Rocket Raccoon'

 

?You think it?s a cartoon character, but it?s not, it?s a very real creature,? said Chris Pratt. ?[Rocket Raccoon has been] tortured his whole life and no one else likes him, so he?s lonely and he?s angry and it?s like, [there are] all these elements [to the character],? he continued. ?You sort of forget about that, you wouldn?t think about, [and] hopefully will come to life. I think it will and that?s why they hired a really good actor to do the role. I could not be more excited that Bradley Cooper is voicing Rocket Raccoon, it?s a great character. It?s probably the best character in the movie, just because it?s not what you would expect,? Pratt added.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.

      I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Mateus · Posted

      This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
