THE AVENGERS - What We Learned From Joss Whedon's Live-Tweet
Writer-director Joss Whedon joined his Avengers cast members Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston and Clark Gregg for a live-tweet event. We recently reported the rumor that a certain websllinger was going to make a cameo.
Thanks to Blastr we have some noteworthy excerpts from the event:
Q: Is the movie's plot going to reference any classic Avengers stories or be a more "ulitmate-ized" story?
JW: "It's a combo platter: classic, Ultimate, plus a little "Richie Rich" & "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."
Q: Was there an Avenger you wanted to put in the movie but couldn't make it work for whatever reason be it budget or time?
JW: "I'm a fan of the Wasp. She's goofy and sting-y."
Q: What about the Spider-Man cameo?
JW: "There is no Spider-Man cameo. But the Avengers do turn off the dark."
Q: Has the ante been upped on Easter Eggs? And if so, how attentive will movie goers have to be to stop them?
JW: "There will be actual dyed eggs. Try to find them all!"
Q: Everyone always asks what the hardest part of directing the movie was. What was the easiest?
JW: "Controlling the meat puppets. ... I mean, actors."
Q: Will the female characters, esp. Black Widow, remind the boys how strong they are, and how?
JW: "The females will spend their time whimpering and baking and being befuddled by math." #sarcasm
Q: What was your first reaction to getting the chance to direct The Avengers?
JW: "What moron would take a job that hard? Show me this moron, so that I may mock him."
Q: Can you enjoy Avengers without seeing all the other films?
JW: "You don't need to see any @Marvel movies to enjoy #Avengers! But you need to see Steel Magnolias, like, six times."
Q: How long did it take to shoot the movie?
JW: "I started when I was 12 and should be done by May 3rd at 11:59 pm."
Q: Who was the jokester on the set?
JW: "I had the jokester put down on day 3."
The Avengers is one of my most anticipated films for the year. Check out the Super Bowl TV Spot below and share your thoughts:
