Guardians of the Galaxy 2 to Film With RED’s 8K Camera
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be shot in crystal clear 8K using RED's new camera system.
According to RED's announcement (via Screenrant), Marvel Studios is partnering with the company to film James Gunn's sequel using its brand new WEAPON 8K camera.
"We are all hugely excited to be shooting the next Guardians of the Galaxy on the new WEAPON 8K," executive producer Nik Korda said in a statement. "The large sensor size and super high resolution offered by the new WEAPON 8K, combined with its lightweight and compact size open up a whole range of new creative possibilities."
It's currently unknown how much of the movie will actually be shot in 8K, as Gunn and his production team may only be using the camera system to shoot a few key scenes rather than the entire film. A handful of select scenes were shot in IMAX for the first Guardians of the Galaxy, so there's a chance we'll be seeing something similar in 8K with Vol. 2.
Red Ranger Dons the Dragon Shield for MMPR #0 Cover
In all of Power Rangerdom, one of the most iconic moments came when the Green Ranger and Red Ranger decided to set aside their differences and team up to acquire some weapons the team desperately needed to defeat the new Super Putties. Facing down the powerful Titanus guarding the weapons cache, Jason gave Tommy his Power Sword to lay down cover fire and in return he transferred over his Dragon Shield so Jason would be protected as he scaled the hillside. The result was not only a powerful show of teamwork but one of the biggest fan-pleasing moments in the series. It was always cool that the Green Ranger had the golden armor, but seeing it on the Red Ranger? Oh, heck yeah!
BOOM! Studios will be releasing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #0 next Wednesday, January 13, and with it a slew of variant covers, each featuring a different Ranger holding their helmet. We have your first look at the exclusive ComicsPRO variant featuring the Red Ranger wearing the Dragon Shield, illustrated by Goñi Montes.
