Recently, a VFX reel has been released online together with the explanation on Baby Groot's dancing at the end of the first film of "Guardians of the Galaxy".
Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" is an action-adventure film starring Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star Lord, Zoe saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Bradley Cooper as Rocket's voice, and Vin Diesel as Groot's voice.
James Gunn spearheaded the film. Since its release on August 01, 2014, "Guardians of the Galaxy" has grossed an estimate of $774 million worldwide.
Framestore, a visual effects company that contributed to the film's success, has released a VFX reel featuring the effects that gave life to the scenes in 'Knowhere', a mining colony. It also showed Rocket and Peter Quill flying in their space-pods, and are being chased by Ronan's subordinates.
Framestore talked about the VFX with Comicbook.
"We built Knowhere, our most complicated environment to date, for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" and then staged a dog-fight that explored every inch of it. Here we've linked up all our shots in the 4-mile wide and 1.2 polygon world," Framestone said.
On the other news, Director Gunn explained in the podcast for "Doug Love Movies" the reason behind the end scene involving Baby Groot and Drax, as per Screenrant.
When asked about the reason why Baby Groot did not want to be caught dancing by Drax, the directr's reply was:
"There was actually a scene that we cut from the movie where big Groot was dancing to 'Livin' Thing' by ELO, and it wasn't such an elaborate dance. It was more that he was just moving up and down like this, and Drax was dismissive and gave him this look like he was a loser when he did that," he said.
"Dancing is ludicrous to Drax. I don't think he understands it. If Drax owned a town, if he was a mayor, the first would be no dancing. But yeah, so at the end of the movie, little baby Groot didn't want to get caught dancing, because he would kill him," explained by the director.
Previous reports revealed that some characters will be returning together with the Guardians, including Nebula, The Collector, Yondu, and Kraglin. It is also expected to meet Peter Quill's father in the sequel while rumors question if baby Groot will become the same big Groot or will grow as a different one.
"Guardians of the Galaxy 2" is slated to premiere in theaters and cinemas on July 28, 2017.
