Finding The Cast For “Guardians Of The Galaxy” Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn says, “I think [the source material] gave me more freedom simply because there aren’t as many rabid fans of Guardians as there are of, say, The Avengers … and so I have been able to re-create the Guardians more for the screen without worrying that the audience will have a different expectation of the characters.”

After an extensive search, Chris Pratt was offered the role of Peter Quill, a young, brash space adventurer.

Says producer Kevin Feige, “We auditioned many actors for the role, and conducted a number of really detailed screen tests, and Chris Pratt by far just won the part. He was cool, he was sexy, he was ridiculously hilarious in certain aspects and, when he put on the costume … he is bad-ass and you really believe it.”

Also on the Guardians team are Rocket, a genetically altered, cybernetically enhanced talking raccoon, and his friend Groot, an advanced humanoid tree creature, voiced by Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, respectively. WWE championship wrestler Dave Bautista appears as Drax, a quiet brute seeking revenge, and Zoe Saldana is Gamora, a deadly, green-skinned assassin.

Commenting on Vin Diesel voicing Groot, Feige says, “Involving Vin Diesel in this is great fun. He is an unbelievably passionate guy. When I called him and asked if he would be interested in playing a character that’s a tree and says only three words, without hesitation he said, ‘I’m in.’”

Cooper notes, “There’s a lot of humor and a lot of heart in this movie. All the relationships are very clear and emotional and the stakes are obviously high and with the flavor of James Gunn, it has a comedic appeal to it. I think people are going to be blown away by how unique and fresh this film is.”

TNT’s popular movie franchise The Librarian gets serialized in this 10-episode, actionpacked series. Noah Wyle returns to his role as Flynn Carsen; however, he’s only in about half of the episodes, as the series focuses on a new group of “librarians in training,” protected by their shared guardian, played by Rebecca Romijn. “It’s an honor to get to work on it with Noah, who has more fun as Flynn Carsen than anyone I have ever seen. He’s shameless,” Romijn says. “I say I’ve always wanted to be in an Indiana Jones movie. He says it’s Indiana Jones if Indiana Jones was played by Don Knotts.”
