James Gunn Confirms He’s Writing/Directing ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’
James Gunn Confirms He’s Writing/Directing ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’:
This just in from Facebook (pay no attention to the time Joss Whedon already talked about Gunn like he was a done deal), James Gunn really is the writer and director of Guardians of the Galaxy!
Gunn, who flits in and out of my life with ‘Super,’ ‘Slither,’ ‘Lollilove,’ and PG Porno shorts is probably most derided for being a credited writer on ‘Scooby Doo,’ a movie with many uncredited writers. His film work has been very entertaining for the fanboy in me and this falls in line with Marvel’s previous plan of picking director’s with vision who can elevate the comic material.
And, just for the record, James Gunn is the only man whose anti-piracy arguments I’ll take seriously. Because when the MPAA is telling you downloading movies is illegal, they’re not legislating for the pornography industry, and that’s the pervasive theft Gunn takes into account.
Ok, that aside, here’s the update from Gunn’s Facebook Page:
There’s no where to go but up with these characters, I’ve re-read the 2008 series recently and – honestly – it’s screwy. Let’s make this a talking Raccoon movie that people will take seriously, now.

For a month or so there’s been a lot of Internet speculation about my involvement with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Until now I haven’t said anything, because I’m trying to be less expulsive about this project than I am about the rest of my life. But last night I got the go-ahead from Kevin Feige to let you all know that, yes, indeed, I am rewriting and directing Guardians of the Galaxy. As a lifelong lover of Marvel comics, space epics, AND raccoons, this is the movie I’ve been waiting to make since I was nine years old. Kevin, Joss, and all the folks at Marvel have been amazing collaborators so far, and we’re committed to bringing you something majestic, beautiful, and unique. I am incredibly excited. I am also incredibly grateful to the fans and the press for all their words of encouragement and support regarding my involvement with this project since the news first leaked. Thanks – you have, honestly, touched and overwhelmed me. And that’s it for now. Other than the occasional photos of my dog and cat here on Facebook, I’ll talk to you again in August 2014 when Guardians is released!Here we go!
