Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon, director of upcoming film The Avengers, has announced today that filming has officially begun on the project. He revealed the news via his fansite Whedonesque and said that filming on the Marvel story would begin.

He said: “Tomorrow [Monday 25th] we start shooting (I THINK I'm legally permitted to say that). Day one. That's right. We'll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:

“[Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss's keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in "Stormy Monday", drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave]

"Went too far. My bad. Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this."

The film is being shot in New Mexico and is heading for a May 2012 release.
