Is it going to be live action, CGI or a bit of both?
No Nova? I am disappoint
Both
Chris Baker on Capcom's stream yesterday said that most of the group would be CGI & that Marvel wants the VA's from their animated version (as seen in Earth's Mightiest Heroes) to be the VA's for the movie. He also said there were two more concept shots that Marvel didn't share.

Nova needs his own movie instead of just being thrown into GotG.
Quasar or Phyla-Vell with the quantum bands and her awesome light sword would be welcomed

THR
Chris McCoy is being tapped to rewrite Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Studios’ space adventure movie.
Galaxy is part of Marvel’s second wave of movies and is the only new title among the crop of mostly sequels featuring Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. It was revealed as the company’s mystery movie in late June and officially announced at Comic-Con in July.
While there have been several incarnations of the team in the comics over the years, the movie’s lineup will include Drax the Destroyer, a human resurrected as a green warrior with the sole purpose of killing Thanos (the villain in the Avengers final-scene tease); Groot, a giant tree-man; Star-Lord, a gun-toting half-human/half-alien intergalactic vigilante; Rocket Raccoon, a genetically engineered animal with a knack for guns and explosives; and Gamora, the last survivor of her species who was saved by Thanos to be his assassin but now battles him.
Nicole Perlman wrote the previous draft. Perlman is graduate of Marvel’s now-defunct writing program who wrote two space-themed biopics: Challenger, about the 1986 Space Shuttle disaster, and an untitled Neil Armstrong project.
While he has yet to achieve a produced credit, McCoy is considered to have a lot of heat as a writer. The scribe has had three of his specs land on the Black List: Get Back in 2007, Good Looking in 2009 and Good Kids in 2011. His scripts have been praised for their quirky comedic bent.

http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/8/18...he-galaxy.htmlMarvel may have found it's director for Guardians of the Galaxy. THR is reporting that James Gunn (Slither, Super) is currently in talks to helm the superhero space saga. Studio execs have not ruled out other directors, but have reportedly begun talking exclusively with Gunn. Other directors in the mix include Peyton Reed (Bring It On, Yes Man), Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden.
Marvel declined to comment, but is reportedly interested in Gunn because of his ability to blend comedy and horror with action. Super is a prime example of that sensibility. Galaxy is part of Marvel’s “Phase 2", and is the first original film. The film was officially announced at Comic-Con this year.

http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/9/10...e-twisted.htmlAvengers director Joss Whedon revealed in a recent interview with MTV that he's excited about director James Gunn's vision of Guardians of the Galaxy saying, "He has a very twisted take on it, but it all comes from a real love for the material."
It was surprising to me when I first heard Marvel was looking to adapt Guardians of the Galaxy for the big screen, but I love the idea! It's different from anything else they're doing and will expand the Marvel movie universe deeper into the darkness of space, and will introduce some very cool and interesting characters.
Whedon now has a hand in all the Marvel movies being made, as one of his new titles at the studio is creative advisor. He seems very confident that Guardians of the Galaxy is going to be a great film, and most of his confidence comes from the fact that Gunn is directing the movie.
Whedon goes on to say that Gunn "has barely started" on the script for the movie, but that he has a take on the story that's sure to get fans really excited.
James is what makes me think it will work. I myself was sort of like, 'Well, I liked Rocket Raccoon as a kid, but I'm not sure how that plays [to a wider audience].' And then they said, 'Well, we're thinking about using James Gunn.' And I said, 'Oh, then no, you're fine.' He is so off the wall, and so crazy, but so smart, such a craftsman and he builds from his heart. He loves the raccoon. Needs the raccoon.
This is the guy who wrote 'The Specials.' People don't understand how influential that movie was about heroes, about taking heroes and making them mundane, And [he directed] 'Super.'
He has a very twisted take on it, but it all comes from a real love for the material. It's going to be hard for the humans to keep up. I know he's going to come from left field and I'm going to go, 'What?' And then, 'Of course, why didn't I think of that?' And then I'm going to beat him!

So who are the Guardians of the Galaxy and why should I care?
