Wow, Chris Evans huh? (Sorry, I'm obviously a bit lagging on this thread!)

Last movie I watched him in was "London". Pretty good movie, he was good in it, but I could never picture him as Cap. Looks like he at least bulked up.

The cover of Empire Magazine will feature this heroic image of Captain America and the issue will include more new images of Chris Evans as the star spangled Avenger. It will also feature quotes from director Joe Johnston and Marvel President Kevin Feige.

Here's what Feige had to say,

Scripts had been developed that took place half in World War Two, half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume ended up overshadowing the man. So we finally said, ?If we could make a Captain America movie any way we wanted to make it, how would we make it?? Well, we?d set the entire movie in the past, in that period, with all of the Marvel trimmings. And so we made the fun, kick-ass Captain America movie we wanted to.

Well, that's exactly how I envisioned Captain America being portrayed on film, which is one of the reasons I'm so freakin' excited about this movie. Johnston went on to tell Empire,

I?ve always loved Raiders and the tone that it had. It was period but didn?t feel like it was made in the period. It felt like a modern-day film about the period, which is what we?re doing on Captain America. It will not feel like a war movie. It?s funny where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action.

Evans then goes on to to talk about the character he's playing, and how he's not just an American hero,

I think he?s the ideal human, not just American. It?s what being a good person is. Steve?s managed to overcome all the shortcomings he?s had in life and he does what?s good and what he believes is right.

The film also stars, Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Haley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Toby Jones and Neal McDonough. The film is set to be unleashed on July 22nd, 2011.

First shot of Bucky and new shots of Hydra soldiers and the Red Skull from a French magazine.

They also talked to to Chris Evans about how many films he'd play as Cap

"To be honest," he says in a quote translated back from French, "it was quite intimidating to commit to nine films in a row. Thankfully, we reduced the number to six... If all goes as planned, I will be playing Captain America until I'm 40."

you seem to be alone then as everyone on superherohype is pretty happy right now. you seemed to be against this movie from the start, why?

I like to be different, I dont ride the hype train on a movie because its a massive well known comic book star. I watched it (a few times actually) and while it looks action packed some of the stuff in it looks kinda corny and lame...Red Skull looks like he's wearing a halloween mask and if the humor at the end is whats going to be in it then they might as well of cast Ryan Reynolds.

Thor looks different on the other hand, directed by a man who knows how to tell a story a long time Shakespearean actor who knows Thor is like a massive play.

Yea I dunno what Rappy is on. I think it looks totally ****ing awesome. Evans is going to be epic. :laugh:

Joking aside. It looks pretty bad. I don't think Skull is brutal I'm kinda glad its not a CGI face. However for its first official trailer this is quite the fail. Just senseless ****. They really should try and tell a story with the trailer, why do we want to see this? I have yet to be convinced this is anything less than the same old trash. I'll go see it since its a new Marvel film and I'm semi looking forward to Avengers, but I can't say I'm eager to see this. Thor on the other hand, very much so. It's first trailer explained what the movie was about in less than 2 minutes. Crappy Cappy, I can't say the same for.

Btw, the reason Rappy dislikes it so much is because they didn't cast Jon Hamm, he would have been perfect. Sure he's a little older, but look what they did to Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy. They could easily make Hamm look slightly younger, no need to overkill like they needed for in Tron. Although having seen the pre-cappy Evans. Their special effects team clearly sucks.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By sagum · Posted

      A gatekeeper is basically a company that is used by so many other (businesses) that sudden changes could impact the other business might fail. Like for example, say a car show room uses AWS to it's database, as gatekeepers amazon wouldn't really be expected to just change it's terms of conditions that would rug pull the database from the car show's business leaving them in the dark.
