As you are aware, "Marvel's The Avengers," a superhero team-up movie involving Marvel comic book characters, hits theaters this weekend. What you might not be aware of is that a movie called "The Avengers" was released back in 1998.
That "Avengers," based on the popular television show, was about two British government agents -- played by Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes -- who have to stop Sean Connery from destroying Earth with some sort of weather-changing gizmo. As you might have expected after reading that last sentence, 1998's "The Avengers" was box-office bomb.
With both "Avengers" films fresh in your mind, now meet Stephen Morahan, a man who worked on the two different movies.
Morahan is in the art department -- and is currently working on the design of the ark in Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" -- and, yes, is one of the very few, if only, similarities between 1998's "The Avengers" and 2012's "The Avengers.
