MOVIES: Ant-Man footage leaked!

Posted on by

Edgar Wright brought the idea of an Ant-Man movie to Marvel and it apparently had so much potential they decided to throw it into the new Marvel Movie Universe. It seems that early footage of the film has leaked on to the Internet, so hurry up and watch the video before the suits yank it down!

UPDATE: Less than an hour and Disney has taken it down.  Sorry, but if you saw it, you now have an idea of what Edgar Wright is planning.

UPDATE 2: Vimeo has the video now, so you have yet another chance to watch the video.

Quote of the Day: Ant-Man is funny

Posted on by

Edgar Wright is right in the middle of putting the finishing touches on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, then he’ll be off promoting the heck out of the film.  After that, the writer/director will be working on Ant-man for Marvel, but until the current movie wraps, he can only give fans a rough idea of the film.

I haven't actually started the second draft yet--I'm not going to be able to until this film [Scott Pilgrim] is out--but what we wrote for the first draft, and what Marvel really liked, is that it's funny, but it's a genre film. It's about the level of comedy that Iron Man has. The idea is to make a high-concept genre film where it's within another genre. His suit and its power is the big gadget and it takes place in the real world. I just wanted to do something that was slightly different than the superhero origin film. I felt that between that and the various mad scientist, crazy doctor films that we've all seen, this would be a way into an origin that was slightly different. I'm not really a multi-tasker--I haven't done anything since Marvel liked our first draft.
