for the last couple of weeks they've been filming the new captain america film around the back streets of manchester

apparently 1940s brooklyn was too hard/expensive to recreate elsewhere, so they're using manchester's abundance of dark, satanic mills and adding on false store fronts

Nice choice!

Any way of telling if it's going to be s**t yet?

Apparently a lot of it takes place during World War II, so the right attitude is probably one of suspicious optimism.

It's a movie based on a Marvel comic.

Next question.

I like my men in tights



WW2 version (pre-Avengers) mark 1 outfit

edit-it's also a stunt man version so not as detailed as the 'hero' version

I knew I asked the right people.

There Is No Captain America But Captain America, And Peter Fonda Is His Prophet.

I still want to be Peter Fonda in that film.

I'd settle for being Peter Fonda in *any* film

Peter Fonda? I thought it was Hunter S. Thompson, the epitome of the American Voice and Dream. Not that there's anything wrong with Mr. Fonda, but that "flower Power" infomercial irks me.

It has Hugo Weaving in, that should certify it a movie for overweight man-children. I can just picture them lining up to watch, dressed as their favourite Marvel characters..*shudders*

Could be interesting

Steady on now, I quite like Hugo, and I'm less than ten stone.
