Chris Evans and Hugo Weaving Talk about CAPTAIN AMERICA's Tone
Hey Gang! There's been a lot of talk revolving around Marvel's upcoming Captain America film, but in this latest interview with Chris Evans and Hugo Weaving they reveal what the tone and look of the film will be.
Evans start out about talking about comic book movies in general explaining,
The nature of comic book movies in general — I mean, with Wolverine, you've got swords coming out of a guy's knuckles — it's all a bit fantastical. It's about finding a good script, a good director and finding a way to ground it in reality. Even if it is a bit dream-like, as long as you stay consistent, if you can get the audience to commit in the beginning and go for the ride, I think they'll jump on board and not try to burn holes in our consistency.
Weaving then jumps and says,
If you can enjoy that aspect of it as well, if the script has a sense of humor to it, then those sides are actually enjoyable for the viewer and the people involved.
Evans goes on to talk about the kind of humor the film will have and it's tone and style.
They did mix in some good comedy. It's not comedy on the nose — we're not cracking jokes — but they did find a way to add humor.
As far as the look of it's concerned, I definitely did ask [director Joe Johnston], 'What kind of gloss are we going for? Is this going to have that Spider-Man, Fantastic Four shine?' And he said it's not going to be that glossy or that colorful, but it's not going to be something as dark as something like 'Batman,' I think it'll be a nice happy medium. I think the world of 'Iron Man' was done really well. It stayed grounded in reality but still stayed true to the fact that it's a comic book movie, so it does have to have some life to it.
Well, I'm happy with what I saw at Comic-Con this year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the final product looks like. What do you all think?
