Deadpool Casting [Merged]

[Muze]

To hell with who is casted! Who the hell is writing, directing, creating effects, and producing? A Deadpool movie is a great idea, but so was Elektra, Punisher, and Daredevil, and we all know how those turned out (two-hour T.V. movies). Let's focus on the problem of imagination and the lack there of. Will Deadpool face any notable characters or will he confront the A-typical mob/ thug generic bad guy that hollywood is so fond of? Also, will it be a comedy/ action? Usually when they try this route, it turns out to be funny... unintentionally, and that's no good. Plus, the S.O.B. kills people! He has an edge of insanity, and I don't mean anti-hero, but trigger squeezin' calamity! But enough, what do you think? Are my concerns valid? Or just preproduction anxiety?

i think they should go the horror route/action route; think Devil's Rejects meets Kill Bill w/ a splash of Transporter. they definately shouldn't set out to make it a comedy. it should be about a good-humored/somewhat loco soldier of fortune who is on a mission that goes south, he gets fragged or left for dead, he's experimented on by the enemy, and wakes up with that horrible skin condition but with a healing factor. it's his condition that basically drives him 'shining' crazy and he just goes on a killing spree. one of the bad guys could be T-Ray; one of the other mercenaries who left him for dead.

You know, Tarantino should direct and write this. Either him or Rodriguez. This definitely sounds like their material.

I happen to think that The Punisher is in the top three of Marvel's movies and Daredevil is really good.

 

[WeaponZ2]

I loved the Punisher and Daredevil....

Also a Deadpool move would work out great.
I'm more concerned about X-men3 and Spider-man 3.

how about replying to the thread in which this suggestion was first made, and thoroughly discussed, instead of starting a duplicate thread.

well, there we are. Merged and so fresh and so clean. Thank you moderator, whoever you may be. And to the question at hand, yes I think Dane would make a great Deadpool, once again.

And for director? Tarantino or Rodriguez won't do it. It's no use getting your hopes up.

Quentin has made it clear the only marvel or dc comic book movie he'd ever do is Luke Cage.

And Rodriguez has strongly indicated Sin City was a special exception to his declaration of not wanting the confines of dealing with other peoples comic book mythos and the restraints that lay within. It's only when he was given the opportunity of "turning a movie into a comic book" that he was really excited about it. He turned down the original X-Men movie and perhaps other projects that were offered to him as well.

One person who comes to mind (admittedly perhaps because he's getting mad respect right now) is David Croenenberg. He's Canadian and all.

daredevil and punisher were alot better than the hulk

 

[Muze]

Triple H could probably pull off t-ray if they can't find anyone better.

 

[ghost113]

someone post apic of t-ray please

Deadpool
There are three parts of Deadpool's life that I want to kinda splice together in the 1st movie: The time in which he spent in the Weapon-X program, Which will be dealt with in the form of haunting memories. His lingering obsession with Siryn. And his forgiveness of Dr. Killbrew.

Director: I'm thinking Quintin Tarantino. He makes great character-driven movies, But I don't know if he could do well incorporating Deadpool's humor.

Deadpool: Dane Cook.

Siryn: Emma Watson.

Weasel: Johnny Knoxville

 

[GraveDigger]

Al: Maria Bamford

A-Jax: George Eads

Dr. Killbrew: John Rhys-Davies

 

[GraveDigger]

Worm: Greg Kinnear

Ilaney: Allison Mack

 

[Killswitch]

Dane CooK! Awesome, awesome idea.

yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah! (while stabbing people)

 

[cerealkiller182]

Props to that. Dane Cook is a very good casting job.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

i heard people like Ryan Reynolds for the role.

 

[imago]

Ryan Reynolds is the ONLY choice for DEADPOOL. He can get f'n ripped and has the requisite caustic wit.

 

[The Question]

Sounds good. Question: Would Taskmaster be in a Deadpoll movie? Because that would just be all kinds of cool.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Ryan Reynolds is the ONLY choice for DEADPOOL. He can get f'n ripped and has the requisite caustic wit.

True that, certainly my top choice.

But I think Dane Cook(who doesnt seem to be in bad shape) and Seann william Scott are both good back-ups

 

[Joseph_Freefall]

Moving to Marvel Films and merging...

THe role is almost tailer-made for Cook, Scott, and Reynolds...the only question is, would any of the get cast if a film as made...

Studios listened to the internet choice for CHRISTIAN BALE and you know who, so it's possible.

Reynolds is definately up for the role ever since Blade Trinity. Avi Arad has been having orgasms at the thought. the guys nuts for Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds movie.

But if they cant get him, which is a big possiblity since Deadpool and Hannibal were so close and he might move onto Flash instead, i think Dane and Seann would be the obvious choices since all three have similar acting/comedy styles. Very over the top with a little bit of raunch (ok.. a lot of raunch) and all three are in pretty good shape (just a work regime away from super hero status). I think its very likely if it gets off the ground.

I;m less worried of the casting and more about the choice of director. Who do you think they would/could choose. John Woo(outside of Face/off makes terrible American movies) or Michael Bay (who i've stuck up for but the island and his attitude toward its failure totally threw me off).

someone picked maria bamford for blind al? she's funny, but isn't al quite a bit older? like, 'dated captain america during ww2' older? i'd go for bea arthur, because a) she's an old woman with comic acting experience, and b) it'd be an in-joke, since deadpool has admitted being fascinated by bea.
