A Brief-But-Explosive Vid From The Filming Of CAPTAIN AMERICA!!
Merrick here...
An AICN reader called T-Barr sent in this brief clip of the filming of CAPTAIN AMERICA in UK (Manchester).
This is what he saw when looking out of his office window. Right now I'm looking out of my window and see a scruffy squirrel charging towards our unprepared garbage man. T-Barr has the better view I think.

Stuff blowin' up!
-
but that USO crap has me worried
-
So out of context. But I guess we'll know the scene once we see it in theaters.
-
a normal day there from the looks of that vid
-
in real life but in a movie it just puts you to sleep. Shows how over indulgent action has desensitized us.
-
And GO DC/Warner!
-
he would rip this video apart.
-
gimme some Red Skull
-
Just saying.
-
you fuckers complain that AICN never posts any behind the scenes stuff or exclusives, and when they do, you complain that it's not cool enough. <br> How 'bout this: you go fuck yourselves. I think this is a cool little clip. <br> Fuckin' assholes.

My cat jumped up on my keyboard and sent in that last post. He's a dick.

JOE JOHNSTON IS THE QUESTION MARK!!!
by CreationistTechnophobicManiacs
The guy can deliver a solid movie but there's no inspiration behind the work.
-
Batman is currently all u got bitch and they just ruined him by killing him off and putting him in a Sci Fi situation, DC is awesome for homo-erotic costumes and dated concepts.
-
its something.
-
I'm not jewish but your stupid name makes me want to punch you in the mouth.
-
That was really awesome to see. Attention, AICN: More stuff like this please.
-
Of all the Marvel movies this is the one with more creative potencial.
-

-
You know what the Red Skull is going after in this film? The bleeding COSMIC CUBE! A sci-fi situation if there ever was one. Want to go after thejewhunter? By all means go for it. But really man, picking Batmans' current situation as some sort of guide post for bad direction wasn't a smart manuever, as if Steve Rogers hasn't just come out of a guest appearance on Quantum Leap.
-
If the script it's a mix of that awesome Sentinel of Liberty mini-series from the 90's with the first run of the Ultimates, then we got ourselves a winner.
-
Looks like the woman runs out of the store and runs up to a character either in camera POV or they'll do a reverse-shot of the character to whom she's speaking. <p> Am I the only one more interested in the camera placement and actress' actions than the explosion?
-
Batman and Sci Fi doth not meld. Same goes for Daredevil. I just grabbed a random topical DC sitch. Know than that I love Grant, and his writing. I also know why he went with a time travel yarn. He is a conceptual anarchist, and respect that, but I does not work for me. Marvel is tits though and has been killing it thanks to Bendis. BTW Nazi weirdos and fringe Sci Fi works great, ask Mignola.
-
as in fucking lame.

I'm sure it will make sense once edited.

the Green Gargantua, GREEN LANTERN ISN'T LAME, IT'S FUCKING STUP

A guy with cosmic powers who's only weakness is the color yellow. I hope no one pisses on his leg.

Your obviously a mentally challenged 12 year old.
-
as stated by DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson?<p>"People make an assumption that we're going to mirror Marvel's strategy, for example with Avengers," Nelson added. "We do have a very different attitude about how you build a content slate. And it isn't necessarily about connecting those properties together to build into a single thing. We think we've got great stories and characters that will lend themselves to great standalone experiences, and that's the way we're focusing on it."<p>Um, Marvel and DC copy each other all the time; Captain America and Batman "dying" and being resurrected in similar fashion.<p>Marvel doesn't have all their characters under one roof like Warner Bros. does. At least they're not afraid to take risks.<p>FIRE DIANE NELSON(FOX's Rothman now has company)!<p>http://tinyurl.com/2dk9xe4

Your knowledge of Batman is extremely myopic, Gargantua. Grant Morrison is far from the only writer to put Batman in science fiction situations. I'm glad that you are not in charge of anything important.
-
That actress looks like she barely even noticed the car going boom.
-
In the last ten years they've modified the Yellow weakness. It was smartly connected with Fear which is represented by yellow in the spectrum (embodied by Parallax). The yellow weakness is essentially a rookie problem. Once they learn to overcome all fear the yellow weakness is a non issue.
-
I hope that movie has a giant green baseball glove to catch it when it falls on it's ass.
-
I was not saying that Batman has not been put through sci fi adventures many times. I was saying that it does not work!!!! Batman belongs in Gotham unless it is some League shit, than it almost works (even though he should be dragged into that kind of thing kicking and screaming).
-
So, they are filming Captain America in the 60s right? but then they are filming Thor, Iron man, The Hulk and so on in present day / future times. so just how in the hell in Captain America going to join up with the rest of the Avengers?? is he going to be like 80 something in it??
-
Christ, fanboys like you drive me up the goddam wall. You act like the strategy for film producing should be the same as comics producing, but they are two COMPLETELY different media. There's nothing wrong with her statement that they are pursuing a different movie slate strategy. We may all appreciate and enjoy the "shared universe" that Marvel is building into their movies, but you have to acknowledge that this also in many ways puts limitations on their narratives. In fact, many critics of Iron Man 2 pointed to what they felt were *distracting* references to the larger Marvel movie universe being built.
-
He ends up frozen in ice at the end of this movie.
-
It's WWII era not the 60's. Cap is frozen in ice (just like encino man) and unearthed in the Arctic years later by Namor/The Avengers. Perfectly preserved due to the super soldier serum in his blood. He goes on to lead the Avengers.

I assume that he's found after the Thor movie's credits...
by Royston Lodge
So say we all.

Thanks! Makes sense, in a non making sense sort of way
-
Finding frozen Cap
-
wikipedia Cap's origin. To be brief, though: he got the super soldier serum in WW2 turning him from a wimp to a super powered stud. Was trained by the US Gov't and became Captain America. fought in every major ground offensive of WW2. Tried to disarm a bomb, got blown up over the arctic, frozen in ice, found and thawed in modern times. Ends up in modern times as the battle hardened 20 something year old from WW2 and living legend. Goes on to become leader of the Avengers, the world's greatest Marvel superteam.
-
In Manchester? Are they filmimg this on the Coronation St sets then? Looks like it. I sense a crossover episode where the Cap demands a babycham from the Rovers' Return.
-
It could just be that the super-soldier serum has the unintended side effect that he never ages so he lives right through to modern times. They don't need the ice thing at all.
-
...and it was such a nice clean and shiny car too... like all the others... ?
-
It looked like Public Enemies for a second.

Yep, absolutely agree with you.. I love the retards who hated Batman because it didn't adhere to whatever stupid ass comic book history exists. The movies take place in a DIFFERENT reality, not with your stupid no-name lame "villians" with superpowers.. I remember people begging and whining for like Batman and Superman to be together or meet up with the Justice League or whatever that fag shit is.. sorry, the movie Batman is for grownups now, not your fucking Harry Knowles super nerd gay fantasy bullshit. You have given me hope there is some shred of intelligence and open thinking, kind sir.. *dramatic raspy voice: "This talkback... just showed me.. that its full of people... ready to believe in good"
-
<p>BOUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA<br /> <p>snif snif damn i got tears snif haha snif bouaha haha <p>BOUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
-
but will see the movie since Cap is one of my all time favorites.Shit, if I can see Pyun's abomination, this can't be worse can it?
-
There is nothing remotely realistic about some billionaire going out dressed like fucking Dracula every night to beat the crap out of purse snatchers. If you think there is then you really are deluding yourself. No matter how gritty they go with it it's still fantasy. You want a movie for "grown ups" then go rent "Up In The Air". Batman will never be for "grown ups". You've obviously led a pretty sheltered life if you believe that crap.
-
THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
-
And yes, that includes Chris Nolan's movies - which is precisely why many take umbrage at over-zealous fanboys lumping him in with Stanley Kubrick, or comparing TDK to The Godfather. It's good pulp, not high art. Learn the difference.
-
How did the Hollywood libs allow Captain America to be made? At least change is name to Captain United Nations. The libs are slipping.
-
Am I the only one who is God Damn tired of AICN's anti-squirrel agenda. Squirrels run along the tops of fences... They jump from trees... They carry nuts... They can go through intricate mazes to get to said nuts... They even occasionally water ski!!! They're the James Mother Fucking Bond of the rodent world! Watching a squirrel charge a garbage man is fucking gold.
-
[sobs]
-
Roy Lichtenstein. <p> Just sayin'
-
Marvel are Rep. DC are Dems and neither are too overt about it.
-
One of the interesting things about Cap's character is that he is a man out of time, he has old-timey values which clash with the horrifying new world he's woken up in. He talks like your grandfather but is still cooler than anyone (and younger than most).

To Captain America, all modern chicks look like hookers.

Nimbly-pimbly little mofos.
-
and it was a lot cooler than this video<p>http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/09/car_fire_create.html<p>
-
all the men wear proper hats.<p>It's been too long since Burton's Batman.
-
Marvel and DC are both large corporations composed of hundreds of employees with a multitude of backgrounds and political affiliations. <p>The notion that one company is Republican and the other Democrat is ludicrous, not to mention completely irrelevant.
-
Yes, I understand a billionaire, one of the wealthiest.. most powerful men in the world.. is secretly a vigilante, who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his barehands is unrealistic. However, the STRUCTURE of Nolans films is far more adult than, let's say, the Fantastic Four or whatever straight-forward flashy "daring to dream a little bigger" CG "men" in tights flying around, combining to defeat the evil force that wants to destroy the WHOLE WORLD MUAHAHAHA!!! When viewed BELOW the superficial level of computer graphic whoring, there is an attempt at intricacy, politics, and grown men standing around talking. It's slow, and you have to somewhat pay attention on the first viewing to get all the nuances, instead of just a generic heartless thoughtless plotline that only exists to get to the next CGI eye-gasm "boom boom" or Scarlett Johansson's cleavage. But I apologize.. I understand these other comic book movies are considered "a testicular masterpiece of manish awesomery!!!" to many.
-
Fuck. <p> Captain America just died a little in my heart. Why couldn't you have a brought up Schepisi's shitty Timothy Hutton movie from the 80's instead?
-
HEAR HEAR!!!! I am so glad that you understand what I was going for. Both me and Jonathan worked very hard on the script, and I am glad that my intent came through on film. I'll be sure to keep you updated on my next film!<p><p>Love,<p><p>C. Nolan
-
unless he's trying to piss people off with the name and not make a reference to the film I think people should lay off him.
-
wait until he actually sees a modern hooker. His nuts would explode, almost as if they had been booby-trapped by the anti-squirrel establishment. <p> Squirrels are the awesome. Anybody here ever seen a black squirrel? I have. They're out there, and now you can't see them at night. Watch. Your. Nuts.

Sherlock Holmes shot there last year, Ritchie used parts of the Northern Quarter, Granby Street and the Warehouses off Castlefield.
-
Didn't they tease Cap in The Hulk on some of the extras on the DVD? Wasn't there a deleted scene with Banner plodding throug the Arctic and there's a vague figure in an ice block? boosebaster - That's the Ultimates Cap. I'm sure they'll pinch a little storytelling from both regular and ultimate universes, but I doubt they'll use the asshole Cap, he needs to be likeable and I don't see Chris Evans pulling off being a gritty old-fashioned guy. Besides they'll probably put some stupid stuff in The Avengers with Cap's mind being blown with self flushing uinals, or some shit. Cap's not a comedian so the fanboys will hate(self included) but the masses will love it.
-
Looks like Road to Perdition. How the fuck this warrants attention is beyond the scope of my journalistic ideals. Oh, and Eat a dick Merrick.

...K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!
-
You think if one company does something successful whether it be in the comics, animated movies, movies, etc, the other won't try to emulate it?<p>The problem with Iron Meh 2 was the weak script.<p>DC Ent. should just stick with making only Batman movies since he is their only bankable character with the best rogues gallery.
-
The Marvel "shared universe" concept HASN'T been proven successful yet. Not by any stretch of the imagination. The DC Entertainment unconnected single slate is actually the more "successful" strategy since an individual slate is what has driven the MOVIE business (note I said MOVIE because we're talking MOVIES not COMICS) since the beginning. It boggles my mind that comic fanboys think that just because a particular strategy works in comic publishing that it'll work in film production. They are two different worlds. And insisting that the comic publishing strategy is the best when it's COMPLETELY UNTESTED AS OF YET is silly. You have NO basis for your opinion, whereas Diane Nelson has THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF FILM to back up hers. Will Marvel's strategy prove successful and lucrative? Could be. Until then? Shut up.
-
Sorry, buddy, but I actually think The Dark Knight is horribly flawed. And one of the reasons I feel this way is that it tries to pass itself off as "thoughtful" or "deep" or "adult" or "thinking man's comic book movie" when in reality it's just as silly and stupid as many of the worst comic book adaptations. It just hides that silliness behind a grim'n'gritty veneer of over-simplified, ham-handed terrorism metaphors. It's not all bad by any means, just fundamentally flawed and WAAAAAAY overrated.
-
In the FG she's aiming a gun at the camera just before the car explodes in the BG.
-
Yeah... But since it *is* in England, I don't think it's a movie set. The cars may be old, but you see tons of those "vintage" ones in England. It just looks like a regular day. Minus the hooded hoods with knives, that is.
-
Really.
-
I didn't say he was an asshole, just that character clash is an intrinsic part of his character, whether 616 or Ultimate, he has old-fashioned (some would argue better) values which jar with modern society. You wake up 70 years into the future without some degree of "WTF is happening!"
-
<p>Actually, so far Marvel's strategy toward building to The Avengers (the shared universe strategy, if I can call it something) has so far been proven very successful.</p> <p>Iron Man, Iron Man 2 (certainly the weaker of the two films, though that isn't the point for the moment) and Hulk were all successful, and they are the first entries in the plan.</p> <p>Now, it isn't done–we have Captain America as well as The Avengers themselves, but to say that it isn't–so far–successful is to ignore the millions of dollars the aforementioned films have brought in.</p>
-
...that if you have enough money you can do anything. like blow up tons of shit and it's legal. It's only a movie
-
He was spotted chasing a taxi down Dale Street. Can't wait to see this flick, some of it filmed right here in my own city! Pics here http://captainamericafilmingmanchester.co.uk/
-
Hope the steroids don't destroy his nards.<p>That's a hell of a lot of makeup, too. I wonder if this sequence will be in B&W in the finished film.
-
Oh for sure, it definitely has its flaws.. but that's ok, I love any discussion about TDK.. did you have some uberpost or something breaking it down, but I understand where you're coming from. Because I can take it. <p><p>"Perhaps CT1, believes that Batman stands for something more important, than the whims of a talkback poster, Ms. Dawes.. even if everyone hates him for it. That's the sacrifice he's making.. he's not being a hero. He's being something more."
