6 Lame, Bootlegged Seconds of Captain America Movie Footage
Note: I’m not saying that the live-action Captain America movie is going to be lame (although I worry about it more than Thor, because I worry about Cap director Joe Johnston more than Kenneth Branagh). I’m just saying that this footage — taken by a hand camera, from a promo for an actual promo on Entertainment Tonight — is lame, because 1) it’s all of Cap in his ’40s gear,not his modern outfit, 2) there’s no action footage, 3) it might not even be actual movie footage, but just behind-the-scenes stuff, and 4) 2 of the 6 seconds of footage is actual a still image. But still — first look at the Cap movie! Woo! …woo? (Via Comics Alliance)
