Let’s Learn More About The Avengers Special Effects…

Let’s face it it’s one of the biggest superhero films ever, yeah we said ever, we’re also willing to bet our last bag of popcorn that it will be epic too as about six months ago we got to behold twenty minutes of the film in it’s edited glory and my oh my are we in for a good-un. 

One of the reasons that it is set to be so mightily awesome is due to the special effects, the battle scenes and cool gadgets and gizmos that the heroic dream-team will be using, Starburst Magazine recently had a chat with one of the special effects supervisors and here’s the down-low on what was revealed:

“We’re doing what essentially boils down to the prelude of the movie.”

 ”There’s a whole intro that happens before you start even getting the titles and it’s pretty big. There’s nothing small in this movie. I went to a screening with all the temporary visual effects and it was pretty fleshed out. It’s a long movie but it doesn’t feel like it. Out of all the comic book movies and franchises I’ve worked on, this is the best one I’ve seen so far.”

He was also asked if the film would be driven by action or the character-oriented work that writer/director Joss Whedon is known for:

 ”I think they nailed both.”

  ”I think he did a very good job of setting up the characters based on what we know from the Marvel franchise, integrating them together with all their differences and similarities and then getting on with business. And just when you think the movie is a character piece it just goes nuts.”

We cannot wait, roll on April 27th!
