So... who should voice him and do the motioncapture?

Colossal Spoons

Think they'll have him talk or stick to "I am Groot!"?

obin_gam

Hm... thats a good question. If they just going to have him say I AM GROOT and nothing more, then I'm afraid he could be considered (or viewed by the general audience) as a sort of Hulk-rip-off. Which should not be the case!

Then again, having him talk more kinda goes against his character a bit, and the fact that he only uses those three words when he talks to others is part of what makes him such a great character.

Colossal Spoons

I'd rather him stick to "I am Groot!" but speak so infrequently that it's not silly. That way, we can get the awesome scenes where Rocket can understand him :D

Chewy

I hope he sticks to "I am Groot". And how awesome would it be if Brian Blessed voiced him?

I'd rather he said things other than Iam Groot. I just feel it would come across as too silly if thats all he has.

The lack of dialogue is part of his charm. Having him only say it and only at pivotal moments would be a ballsy and awesome choice

Yeah, I don't want him to be super chatty

Captain Marvel

07-18-2012, 09:28 PM

Yeah, his saying nothing but "I am Groot" is part of his charm, and I'd hate to lose that. I don't want to see a contemplative Groot, a brooding Groot, or a wisecracking Groot. I want to see a Groot that says "I am Groot" every once in a while and that's it.

Colossal Spoons

07-18-2012, 09:57 PM

And of course he needs to get destroyed in the final fight only to come back as a sapling at the very end :D

You totally should have titled this "I am the Groot Thread!" :oldrazz:

I think it'd be more fun if he only says "I am Groot," too. They could actually do some neat things with that. It's all about the set-up from other characters, as well as Groot's tone and inflections.

Maple we should move on to something else.

I think the " I am..." line has potential to be iconic, if handled right.

Are you seriously gonna keep this up for EVERGREEN?
No MUR puns! I'm getting STICK of it!

Someone needs to SPRUCE the thread up, and BRANCH out to a new subject.

I suppose I should stop being a SAP, this is nothing to PINE over.

Sounds like casting is going in a very interesting --- and very different --- direction.

If the rumors are true, then it looks like they're hiring a top name to play Groot:

So they're not getting a motion capture artist for Groot now?

That's a bit racist.

I wonder if they'll bother getting an actor, a voice actor or if they'll just get one of the crew to say his line.

To make a serious coment for a moment, but I wouldn't mind seeing Peter Cullen doing the voice of Groot. Granted, he's known primarily as the voice of Optimus Prime and Eeyoure, but he has a good voice range.

And he's done voice work in other live-action films that involved him simply making grunts and noises. Since obviously Groot isn't going to be saying alot.

warcam

02-18-2013, 05:29 PM

I'm going to go "out on a limb" and say Cullen would probably want more $$ than Marvel's willing to pay. They need to find someone who's willing to "branch" out and do a movie like this. :woot:

Seriously, Keith David is one those actors who could read the phone book and make it work. If his only line is "I am Groot", Hell, I could play Groot. Just help me get my SAG card and we're good.to.go. :cool:

Son of Coul

02-18-2013, 11:08 PM

I'd like a scene where the Guardians are cornered, only for Groot to come out and go, "I... am... Groot." and warm the hearts of their attackers, making them leave them alone.
