I’m sorry for my pun. I just the only one I could think of and I’m not in a creative mood this morrow I’m afraid!
The news on the desk this morning is that the Avengers have finally started filming. Joss Whedon (the guy who directed Buffy- the good one) will be taking helm, and as reported in his mighty blog yesterday:
“Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I’m legally permitted to say that). Day one. That’s right. We’ll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:”
Yes, the long awaited, long anticipated, and strongly led cast will finally be setting their powers to ‘avenge’. Not that we’ve ever been sure just who the Avengers are exactly avenging, but that’s for a different day. Is it not?
So today the Weed himself will be in the director’s chair with the ensemble of Thor, IronMan, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Black Widow. All of whom you should know of but it case you don’t...
Thor is the film about a God banished to Earth, which may I add is in all good cinemas today. It has mostly good reviews and his fronted by the rising Chris Hemsworth.
Iron Man is about a rich dude who builds a mechanical suit and goes round saving people, usually drunk; played by the usually drunk Robert Downey Jr.
Captain America is about a soldier in the 1940’s who is injected with super serum making him super strong. He’s all patriotic and stuff and will be frozen in time to act as our fish out of water, played by the comedy and action able Chris Evans.
Hulk is a scientist who accidently transforms himself into a big green erm ‘hulk’. He’ll be played by a different actor for the third time since the movies have begun again. This time the man in green will be Mark Ruffalo. Usually found in more ‘indie flicks’.
Hawkeye will be played by Jeremy Renner of Hurt Locker and will be the new ‘Bourne’. Hawkeye doesn’t technically have any real powers but his good with arrows. Not the coolest dude.
Nick Fury is a badass played by a dude who can play a badass- Samuel L Jackson. Nick Fury ishead of S.H.I.E.L.D; an organisation in the Marvel comic universe that keeps tags and usually tells the superheroes where they are at and what to do. These dudes are responsible for the ‘avenger initiative’.
Lastly we have Black Widow. She briefly appeared in Iron Man 2 and will be played by Scarlett Johansson. One word- damn.
Wicked yo. Expect a shit load of action. Also coherent and well developed character arcs, seeing as that is exactly what the Weed as built a reputation for in the past 10 years.
