Godzilla. Captain America. Groot...?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWho knew that this summer's biggest success story would be Marvel's band of unlikely heroes, known as \u003cem\u003eThe Guardians of the Galaxy\u003c\/em\u003e? With their biggest star (Bradley Cooper) playing a talking raccoon, a director whose previous film grossed just $300,000 at the box office, and with a cast of characters so unknown that an entire teaser trailer was devoted just to introducing them, the odds seemed long for \u003cem\u003eGuardians\u003c\/em\u003e to make any impact at all. And yet it's the only film to gross over $300 million at the US box office--something not even Michael Bay's fourth \u003cem\u003eTransformers\u003c\/em\u003e movie could accomplish (and that had Marky Mark Wahlberg)!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a little known fact that \u003cem\u003eGuardians\u003c\/em\u003e was based on source material that Marvel all but buried. So why did it work? Regardless of whether a good story is based on source material or original material, \u003cem\u003eGuardians\u003c\/em\u003e would not have been a success if the script, filmmaking, casting and marketing weren't all thought out and executed perfectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this webinar, we'll deconstruct how Marvel \"flipped the script\" on... well, its own scripts. A focus on quirkiness, the establishment of a unique tone, and bringing their first female writer in the fold added up to a great finished product. Whether it's the very specific character traits (like Drax's inability to understand metaphor) to the very clear stakes (even when things go deep into sci-fi), \u003cem\u003eGuardians\u003c\/em\u003e has all the right moves to please movie-goers tired of the same-old-same-old. Yet it becomes truly revolutionary by sticking to the basics; it's a script that puts one foot in front of the other and never stumbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: teal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/admin.stage32.com\/vendor\/moxiemanager\/data\/uploads\/18_11.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"158\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stage 32","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48055572922675,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/7728\/4659\/files\/image_65c5954fb98ae.jpg?v=1707447634","url":"https:\/\/stage32.myshopify.com\/products\/deconstructing-the-script-guardians-of-the-galaxy","provider":"Stage 32","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
