So if you haven't seen this, it's from collider.com
At a Wolfman press conference today Joe let some Captain America news out
Joe Johnston: Absolutely. Oh yeah. I don’t think we could make without an American playing the part. But we may not be casting in America because we’re going to London and we’ll probably shoot in the UK for most of it because it takes place in Europe. But, yeah, we’ll definitely be casting.
Was there ever any talk about Wolfman being in 3D and is there any talk about Captain America in 3D?
Joe Johnston: No, we’re shooting Captain America in HD. But you can take any film now and make it 3D. We’re not going to be shooting it specifically to be 3D, but this is the first film I will have shot in high def and I think it’s one of the first’s Shelly will shoot in high def too, it’ll be a new experience for both of us. And it gives you a lot of flexibility in post which I learned from Walter Murch…when you shoot a movie in high def if you want to zoom in 200% you can. But in film you can only go 15 or 20% at most before you start seeing grain and degradation. In high def you can basically reshoot the film in post - if you want to - so I’m looking forward to trying that.
With Captain America, do you see opportunities to bring an auteur style to it like Sam Raimi did to Spider-Man and the different Batman directors?
Joe Johnston: We’re definitely going to shoot it in a different way than any of the other Marvel pictures have been shot. What I’m trying to do is look at the comics - most of the new ones like the Brubaker series - and to interpret that sort of visual style into a film in a way that I think has been tried before…it always looks a little too on the nose it looks like oh they’re shooting a comic book movie. I want to try something a little bit different.
Have you nailed down what you think the big set pieces might be?
Joe Johnston: Yes, we have. Right now we sort of have to pick our battles cause it’s a little more than we can afford. There is some great action sequences. Stuff we haven’t seen before.
A question about casting. When you have an iconic character like that is it more about finding the right person or is Marvel saying we also need to have a big name star. Could you talk about the balancing of that.
Joe Johnston: No. We’re looking for a complete unknown.
So it’s not going to be a movie star taking this part?
Joe Johnston: I hope not. I hope it’ll be somebody we discover and whose never been in…well he’s probably been in something…you won’t know who he is or recognize him. We’ll surround him with more prominent names. That’s who we’re looking for. Will we find him? I don’t know. It’s tough.
Do you know when you have to have casting done?
Joe Johnston: March 1.
He has also just confirmed that the Red Skull will be the villain on shocktilyoudrop.com
