Gunn posted an image of the front page of the ultra-top-secret “Groot version” to his Facebook; writing, “This is the special Groot version of the script that only Vin Diesel and I have, where every Groot line is printed in English instead of Groot, so Vin will know what the various ‘I am Groot”s mean.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s director James Gunn decided to help Vin Diesel out by providing a special version of the script to the Groot actor; one in which the character’s endless “I am Groot” lines were actually translated into English, revealing the meanings only Rocket Raccoon can usually interpret.
Repeating the words “I am Groot” in various intonations is a particularly tough gig for any actor.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits UK cinemas 31 July, 2017.
