Marvel’s VFX Producer Victoria Alonso Talks ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

While speaking with Cinema Blend, Marvel’s Executive Vice President Victoria Alonso offered up a little bit of info about Jame Gunn’s upcoming space-epic Guardians Of The Galaxy. Alonso revealed that production on the film has already begun and that filming will begin in just a few months.

“Production has already started! Completely. It started months ago and we have an entire team in London already – we start shooting in June. Our director [James Gunn] travels next week and it’s going, baby! It’s a fast train to a beautiful place.”

Alonso also commented on how they’re handling bringing Rocket Raccoon and Groot to life on the big screen:

“We’re going to do a combination. You can’t do any motion capture with a raccoon – they won’t let you put the suit on [laughs]. But we will do rotomation, probably, for some of the behavior. Rocket will have his own personality, of course, and clearly we can’t do mocap on a tree, per say, but we definitely will have performers to emulate what James Gunn will lead to be the behavior and the performance. He’s very clear on where he wants to take the characters.”

James Gunn really has one of the hardest jobs of Marvel’s “Phase Two” here with this film, but we couldn’t be more excited to see the results.

Guardians Of The Galaxy is set to hit theaters August 1, 2014.
