[Video] Extended Look at Guardians of the Galaxy's Star-Lord
After seeing Captain America: The Winter Soldier this past weekend, I walked out of the theater a bit underwhelmed. That's not to say the film wasn't good, but it didn't really take any risks. Guardians of the Galaxy, however, represents Marvel Studios' biggest challenge since the imprint started producing their own films. The team isn't exactly full of household names, and the space setting is vastly different from what's been established in prior Marvel films (even more so than the Thor films' Asgard). However, I think it's a gamble that will pay off exponentially for the company this summer. Following the film's first trailer, this first clip is an extended look at the opening scene featuring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord. There isn't much new footage in this clip, but it offers up enough to satiate anybody's curious interest.
Guardians of the Galaxy will be in theaters on August 1st.

[Video] New Elysium clip features Matt Damon fighting a robot

I'm really excited for Elysium, so much so that I should probably temper my expectations a bit, considering the last sci-fi film I was anticipating wasn't exactly everything I wanted it to be... Still, with every new clip and trailer, I can't help but be excited for Neil Blomkamp's sophomore film. Come on, Matt Damon's starring in it, and who can deny Jason Bourne's star power?
In this short clip, Damon's character is in the middle of a heist as he fights off William Fichtner's (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) character and one of his security droids. The best part of the clip, and something that was very evident in Blomkamp's District 9, is just how fluid the CGI work is. The security droids look as if they're actually there and don't have that "aura" to them that makes them look completely artificial.
Elysium hits theaters on August 9th.
