GOTG Vol. 2: Top 5 Things That We Are Exited About

After a surprising kickoff as the fourth highest grossing Marvel movie ever, Guardians of the Galaxy is gearing up for its second installment. Personally, I CAN'T WAIT!

Filming is underway in Atlanta and with all Marvel movies lips are tight. We do have 5 things we are REALLY excited about for the sequel:

1.  The director, James Gunn's, pitch for the sequel actually made Chris Pratt cry.

"I will say that [James Gunn's] pitch and his idea legitimately put tears in my eyes," said Pratt. "It is so good... I cannot wait to get started on it, and I cannot wait for people to see what he's going to pull off with this second movie. It's so, so big and so good."

2.  Gamora will get more merchandise this time. She was not equally represented last time in the merchandising department. 

"I had a big conversation about [Gamora merchandising] yesterday with one of my producers at Marvel about trying to make sure, especially that Gamora is represented more in stuff and all the 'Guardians' toys, but especially all the clothing and bed sheets and all that stuff," he explained in December 2015. "I think it's really important -- that often times it's something Marvel is concerned with, as I am. It's frustrating and stuff and so it bums me out."

3.  Nebula will be back for a second round, this time she could change her views.

"I think what I'm really excited about it delving into the sisterly relationship between Gamora and Nebula," said Gillan. "I think that we're going to see a little bit more of that, and it's going to be a bit more fleshed out."

4.  Yet another Stan Lee cameo ;)

"I love Stan Lee. He's a great man. He's one of my favorite people in the world. I still get giddy like a school girl whenever I'm around him, and he's also nice to me, so why would I not want him in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?'" 

5.  NEW CHARACTERS!

"We have a new cast member playing a new member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and she was the most awesome and easiest person I've ever had to cast, and blew me the fuck away. Really. She's amazing and I can't wait to share her with the world."

John Williams Teams With Boston Pops Orchestra In May!

A galaxy far, far away will be brought a little closer... TO BOSTON THIS MAY! John Williams will take the baton on May 12th and 13th for two of the Pop's Film Nights.

Clips will be shone of some of the film classics that Williams has scored. Films to be featured will include:  Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, and the Harry Potter series. I'm not kidding when I say that I wish I lived closer to Boston :)

Some of the rest of their 2016 lineup is just as exciting. Check it out below.

WWLP Reports:

“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, a baritone crooner on the side, also will perform during the spring season, which kicks off May 6 and runs through June 18. So will the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, guitarist Tom Scholz of the band Boston, and Broadway star Sutton Foster.

“We couldn’t be happier with the terrific lineup of guest artists joining us for the 2016 Boston Pops season,” Lockhart told The Associated Press. “I can’t remember a more diverse season with such great potential, both to please our loyal audiences and reach out and entice music lovers of all ages.”

Williams, the Pops’ conductor laureate, was the force behind the music for all seven “Star Wars” films. He’ll take the baton on May 12-13 for the Pops’ Film Night appearances, which will screen clips from those movies as well as other film classics Williams wrote music for: “Jaws,” the “Indiana Jones” movies and the “Harry Potter” series.

On June 4, Lockhart — now in his 21st season as conductor of the group nicknamed “America’s Orchestra” — will take the stage for a performance of Williams’ entire score from the 1981 blockbuster film “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

The Pops also will pay tribute to rock legends David Bowie and Eagles frontman Glenn Frey, who both died last month, in “Beatles to Led Zeppelin” concerts on May 10-11 featuring Scholz and devoted to classic rock.

For the first time, the orchestra is teaming up with the University of Connecticut’s popular puppet arts program — whose graduates have created marionettes for “The Lion King” and “The Muppets” — for a May 21 concert dubbed “Puppets with the Pops.”

MacFarlane kicks off the spring season with a May 6 presentation of American classics from the 1940s and ’50s. Wilson closes it out June 17-18 with a 50th anniversary performance of hits from 1966’s “Pet Sounds,” widely considered one of the Beach Boys’ best albums.
