Here’s some news from behind the scenes of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER.
First off, fansite EarthsMightiest spoke with THE AVENGERS writer/director Joss Whedon, who revealed that he did a little “script doctor” work on CAPTAIN AMERICA.
“I just got to make some character connections.”The structure of the thing was really tight and I loved it, but there were a couple of opportunities to find his voice a little bit — and some of the other characters — and make the connections so that you understood exactly why he wanted to be who he wanted to be. And progressing through the script to flesh it out a little bit.”
Being a script doctor can be a frustrating exercise, because you’re working on other people material and ideas, often without credit. However Whedon seemed to enjoy this stint.
“It’s fun in this case because, A, they’ll actually use the things I wrote, which is rare; and, B, it’s a fun puzzle to go in and say, ‘Okay, this is what works, this is what needs to be connected, and here are some key moments.’ Then the third thing is that it takes place in the ’40s, so I got to write ’40s dialogue, and that’s never not fun!”
Aceshowbiz.com featured a behind the scenes video tour from Hey UGuys! of a CAPTAIN AMERICA location in England that was used as a US Army encampment. the elaborated dressing included tents, tanks and a USO stage, on which the star-spangled avenger appeared.
