Ant-Man Edgar Wright's Ant-Man - Part 1

[chamber-music]

I thought we could list some of Edgar's possible influences for Ant-Man.

Comics - The man in the ant hill. Edgar read a reprint of this and Marvel Premier 47 - To steal an ant-manas a kid and brought his copy of it to To steal an ant-man comic-con a couple years ago.

Films - Phase 4. Edgar watched the film as a kid on TV. He listed it as one of his favourite obscure films.

Phase IV scared the bejeezus out of me as a young child. It's not really a horror movie, but it's got plenty of psychological weirdness. It freaked me out for years.

I would count Earth's Mightiest Heroes as part of his research. I don't know how much of it he'll use, though.

i get the feeling that the beginning of this movie is going to be very strange and very memorable.

or ants. my bet is on ants. a swarm of them. or a herd. or a school. whatever a huge group of ants is called. ants.

 

[Ant-manic]

the figure kind of looks like Michael Douglas if you squint. otherwise, I have no effing clue what this teaser means. is that supposed to be one of those roach motel glue traps, he's stepping on?


maybe the opening scene/Pym's origin is done in stop motion.

I think they are called a queue. a queue of ants. t:

Edgar Wright just had a pretty funny tweet to Empire:

@edgarwright: Dear @empiremagazine, how about just one character cover for 'Ant-Man' that's seemingly empty. (Include a free magnifying glass to see him)

Colony, Army or swarm

It's glue, fer cryin' out loud.

That's probably a crude plastic model Wright is using to storyboard/map out scenes for the movie. Looks like Douglas' Hank Pym Ant-Man suit, minus helmet.

i dunno. the legs don't look like he's wearing the suit from the teaser. almost looks like a hoodie. but i do think it looks like Douglas (more than Rudd); by the hair. i wonder what that hallway is supposed to represent. that's a weird looking building. i guess that it could be that hallway from the teaser. i can't really make out what is behind him. i guess it could be elevators.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Just a minature storyboard model imo, altho I can see how the yellow looks like ants swarming around his feet and up his leg. Also it just looks like a guy in a labcoat to me. It's certainly not a model of douglas, I don't think they go to those extremes.

 

[roach]

if you look behind him you can see Venom

 

[Ant-manic]

maybe it's Scott kind of looking around Pym's house.

No, it's definitely not Scott Lang's Ant-suit (the one in the teaser); but I think Hank's prototype will look slightly different. The plastic miniature has a "V" thing going on with the lapels that reminds me of Pym's classic red and blue Giant-Man suit from the 60s.

or Wright might just be having a laugh at our expense.
