Writer Zak Penn explain what draw him to the undertaking :
First of all , most of what was exciting about it , that I can evidence you , was just the prospect that we would eventually actually do a real cross - over moving-picture show , in which character from multiple plastic film were appearing at the same fourth dimension , and it was n’t just a cameo . To me , that was something very exciting . Even if it had ended up being The Vision , Giant - Man and two other theatrical role , it still would have been nerveless . The idea that there ’s these other movies being made , and they ’re all working towards this one final destination is what excited me . That , we did spend many long time crop on . All the people at Marvel and me would sit there and say , “ Okay , so this is what ’s befall in Thor . This is what ’s happening in Captain America . This is what ’s befall here . ” So , that was probably the most exciting part of it .
I did n’t have the same pre - conceptions about what The Avengers flick should be that I did about X - Men . The Avengers can go a destiny of different directions . There is no one line - up . If you did an X - Men movie and it did n’t have Professor Xavier in it , that would be a weird picture show . There ’s a lot that I ’m excited for , but I ca n’t really talk about what ’s in it , so I ca n’t tell you about what worked , what they listen to and what they did n’t . But , theoretically , it should be awe-inspiring .

Writer Roberto Orci promise that you do n’t need to know anything about Star Trek to enjoy the sequel – even including the first movie to some extent :
“ Well , even though it ’s a continuation we require to make certain that , again , just like with the first one you do n’t have to be a Trek fan to get it on what ’s happening . It does n’t rely on your previous knowledge of Trek or even the old movie . It ’s still building on that film . If you watch the first motion-picture show , you ’ll see where the character reference have gone but every film has to suffer on its own . you may never just rely on the fact that it ’s a sequel . ”
“ Because they are one of the most long - standing , vocal fan base around , from the very beginning when we signed on to those movies , we were interacting with them online and any time we lead into them . And literally the fan in a horse sense are advisor on these movies because we really do say what they have to say because I was a rooter and I would n’t want someone ruining my Star Trek without at least my getting to plain about it right away to management . The remark box is always loose . ”

Rumors prevail that the movie will be shot in 3D , although no determination has been made yet . When asked about it , costar Simon Pegg offered an eminently sensible take on the exit :
“ When something ’s made to be in 3D , if it somehow part of the experience , sightly enough . I ’ve done 3D movies . Tintin is amazing . That is last to be in three-D and that is going to be amazing . Sometimes , it ’s like if you see a movie that does n’t of necessity lend itself to 3D , like perhaps something live action or that is n’t built for 3D , it ’s more like they ’re worried about it . three-D can sometimes be a vote of no - confidence . ”
Producer David Heyman say that Alfonso Cuarón ’s long gestating run aground cosmonaut picture – which now stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney – will bug out filming in May , and he ’s very excited :
“ The whole film has been pre - vised and reckon out , it ’s fuckin ’ amazing . I mean , unlike anything you ’ve see in place . It ’s just neat . He ’s a perquisite to ferment with - he ’s a actual visionary . We ’re using engineering that ’s never seen before . This film will be more immersive , I think , than anything you ’ve get a line before . You will really palpate like you are in space . It will not be an objective view of blank space , it will be an immersive view of outer space . And you know as you say , with Children of Men , he loves these longsighted shots . It ’s gon na be a really sheer , bold film . ”
in reality , we did some mental testing . Because this film is being made almost entirely digitally , a huge amount of it ’s being made digitally . three-D feel like a really constitutive - because so much of it ’s being done digitally , you’re able to make the three-D in a post unconscious process much more easily than if you were shooting all alive - natural process or sitting in a way .
There ’s a new report on Rian Johnson ’s time locomotion picture show , which is at least partly localise in China . Costar Xu Qing pop the question this input on the movie :
“ It is like nothing I have meet before . It has action at law . It has love affair . It also deals with philosophy . I really like it . ”

Kit Harrington discusses his character Jon Snow :
“ With him , it was kind of like a complex emotional convulsion that he ’s got go on , but you ’ve got an inst sort of key into the character there – he does n’t recognize who his mother is ; his stepmother hates him ; he gets on with his comrade and babe . He ’s loyal to the family , but he does n’t acknowledge how to go about dealing with this immense ambition that he has . “ When I got it , I read the script and then I went , ‘ Oh , OK … This is a really cool story note . He ’s get down his own thing . He go off and it ’s pretty epic , and he ’s a great character . ’ That ’s more what struck me when I catch the part . Not really the size element of it , more the amount of stuff he ’s got riding on him . ”

Harrington ’s on - screen father Sean Bean also weighed in on Ned Stark ’s relationship with Jon Snow :
“ It ’s a quite sad human relationship , really . It ’s quite heartbreaking because Ned can not show too much beloved and tenderness towards his boy because his wife knows that he is Ned ’s whoreson , he was born out of wedlock when Ned had a fling . It ’s very heartrending for him . The actor [ Kit Harington ] who play it , he ’s howling . I do n’t know how he does it , just the right amounts of poignancy and ebullience and younker and zip . you could see the sadness in his eyes , he did a great job . We never can quite clinch , or I can never really treat him as my other boy or other daughters and it ’s heartbreaking . ”

The amazing Peter Dinklage explicate why he does n’t remember the show is fantasy :
“ I would n’t be quick to utilize the word illusion with this . I know that ’s the word of honor that ’s been used , maybe a pot of people would take issue with me but what I see , I do n’t see it as a fantasy . At least from the stuff I ’ve done that actually was in truth illusion , where water creatures are coming out of the ground and lions are talking . That , to me , is a bit more fantastical . This is more of a human drama . Human dramatic event , that sounds a second funny as well . It ’s grueling to pinpoint what this show is , but that ’s the lastingness of it . There are things mill about in the shadows a moment , which add a fantastic element to it , but it ’s more about humans , people , making each other ’s lives a bit more complex . ”
