James Gunn details a funny deleted scene from Guardians of the Galaxy

Director James Gunn is still enjoying the success of this year’s biggest domestic earner GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY; if you’re a follower of his on Instagram or Twitter then you see how much fun he’s having with all the success. The movie is still playing strong so if you haven’t had a chance to see it (really?) you should check it out. That being said, if you’re waiting for a kick-ass home viewing experience then I’m sure you won’t be too disappointed as Gunn looks to be piling the extras on.

Gunn recently detailed one sequence that had to be cut for time but assured it would be on the Blu-ray release:

Here’s me and the actor Spencer Wilding who played the Mean Guard who jabs Quill in the prison with the electrical staff and gets his comeuppance to Escape (the Piña Colada Song). He also has a little container of Play-Doh. Why Play-Doh? Because I would keep a pile of little Play-Doh containers onset and if someone did an especially amazing job that day – whether it was an actor, a grip, a stunt man, or a PA – they’d get a canister of Play-Doh. I probably only gave about 40 containers out over the entire shoot – on an 85 day schedule with a crew of a couple hundred, that isn’t much. I chose Play-Doh because I love the smell of it – opening a new container and smelling it puts me in a creative, child-like place. And who doesn’t love playing with Play-Doh (I swear Play-Doh isn’t paying for this post)? Anway, Spencer got the Play-Doh for a scene where he danced through the prison listening to Quill’s Walkman (specifically, Magic by Pilot). We cut the scene for many reasons, but it was awesome and hilarious and Spence more than deserved his rarely-given Play-Doh (and, yes, before you ask me a thousand times below, it WILL be on the Blu-Ray outtakes, and no I will not tell you the release date – you can go see the movie again! It’s still out!) Have a great day (or night depending in where you are). #gotg #guardiansofthegalaxy

Kind of like if Uncle Fester joined Blue Man Group right?
