What do you do to get into character if you're playing a cg creation that is not human and in fact barely humanoid?  If you're Vin Diesel, and you're the voice of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, you might try to get into the role by wearing stilts and an "I am Groot!" T-Shirt.   #VinDiesel[...]

Marvel has released two new Guardians Of The Galaxy trailers. First is the 9th TV spot and then the 2nd international TV trailer... though you could

It was a tough choice but I went with some action figures of Star-Lord, Groot, and Rocket rather than the somewhat scary plastic Rocket mask, though I was a little tempted to get it and wear it to SDCC to freak out my reporters You see, guys? I'm merciful. I randomly went into a Toys[...]

Comic book creator Gustavo Duarte has been showing off the process of working on the Guardians Of The Galaxy 100th Anniversary comic, looking at the cast in the year 2061… whether that's the pencils to go through the script… The official Marvel art boards supplied… The desk, for sketching pages from the script. A close up of that[...]

Groot was created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, but I know you know that. And this is a pretty cool new poster, gotta say:   And because it is Monday so I missed these earlier, here are two more posters for GotG characters who are not as cool as Groot, but still pretty cool. Gamora was created by[...]

Since this is seems to be Guardians Of The Galaxy day, here's the story of how Vin Diesel got the voice of Groot in the upcoming film Which will consist of him saying "I am Groot" and nothing else for the duration of the movie. This is how it was told to me by a senior[...]

"I am Groot" That's what he says Repeatedly But what is he thinking? All New X-Men #23 gives us the answer in full… Little bit xenophobic on the Latverian front though I'm sure Jean Grey is 1/16 Latverian on her mother's side. Oh go on then, since they gave us such a lovely lettered cover, I'll[...]

This has been a strong rumor for so long that I didn't realize it wasn't official, but Marvel has just confirmed that Vin Diesel will be the voice of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. We still don't know who is playing Thanos…   Here's the official Groot PR: The star of the Fast and the Furious and Riddick[...]

It may be heavier than the Infinity Gauntlet. But… and I'm not sure exactly what this will be responding to, there is a Rocket Raccoon & Groot prose novel Whether Groot will say anything more than "I am Groot", whether we will get a further insight into what drives his vegetabley ways, I do not know[...]

One of the lesser known but oldest characters in the Guardians Of The Galaxy has to be the uniform-wearing walking tree named Groot He first appeared as an invading extraterrestrial coming to Earth to capture and study humans This took place in Tales To Astonish #13 all the way back in 1960 and created by[...]
