Deadpool Movie Officially Announced!

[Quasimod0]

But with an R-rated Deadpool movie, that's what would happen. Just look at the video game. That was too far, imo.

The video game has the tone I would prefer. Deadpool should be extremely vulgar and violent.

I don't think that's guaranteed to be how it would go, but I do admit that going too far would be my concern with an R-rating, the game is a good example too, I liked it's tone for the first third or so of it, then it got kinda tiring, there were quite a few moments where it went overboard and the game as a whole didn't put much thought into what goes into Deadpool other than the OTT zaniness. Whereas my concern with PG13 is them not going far enough and presenting a watered down take on the character.

 

[Hypestyle]

I'm not enthusiastic. I never got into Deadpool. To me it came across too much as giving "spider-man" guns, swords and making him relatively amoral. No thanks.

 

[Mike Murdock]

^ I think the biggest difference is breaking the fourth wall and filling it with lots of pop culture references.

What does the comic do? I would assume they don't have curses actually printed, do they

They are bleeped out. Like @#$!.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Couldn't a PG-13 Deadpool movie do the same? Even make it obvious and have Deadpool complain about how he's being forced to bleep it because it's a PG-13 movie?

I actually think this might be the best way to go for the movie, could be funny if done right, kinda in the same way with the GOTG trailer where it was funnier when they censored Starlord flipping the bird than it was actually showing it in the film itself.

Can't overplay that too much though.

Worked great in Scott Pilgrim.

Yeah, I was disappointed that wasn't the movie version too.

the only reason ONLY reason why the test Deadpool teaser got so much attention was because it was R rated. thats a 100% fact.

PG13?

some here dont think that it needs to be R rated? i respect your opinion.
some here think that a PG13 movie in general could work? i respect your opinion.

but fact is that the test footage got so popular because of the R rating. now making the movie because of the positive feedback and making it pg13 is as wrong as you can get

I don't know if thats fact yet. Maybe cause everyone thought it was R since the script is. But there was 1 F bomb at the very end (not in the footage), no blood and we didn't see the decapitation. Everything else was punching, neck snapping and a guy getting ran over by a car.

Everything there could be in a PG-13 film. I think that test footage got attention cause it was overall a good representation of Deadpool.

Yeah,I didn't get the impression that was R territory.

It'll probably be like the other X films.They'll drop one F bomb, probably say D*** once and have lots of (relatively) bloodless violence.And that's enough for me.Save the excessive stuff for the DVD.

I imagine that will be what happens. There's plenty of stabbing and decapitations that are shown more graphically through the X-Men films. Think the main issues will come with Deadpools torture and how much he can get himself chopped up and not die from it. That's gotta be there to show how extreme his healing factor is.

Since he wears the red suit, that can stop the blood from showing when he gets shot in the head or gets an arm chopped off to certain amounts. They are gonna have to cheat alot one way or another. But yeah, the footage we've seen definitely isn't hardcore R territory more hardcore PG-13 if anything.

[dude stannis]

Meh. I wasn't interested with Ryan Reynolds as DP, now I'm totally out with the PG-13 rating.

These were my thoughts too - you could even do a gag early on where he forgets to censor an F bomb, then for the rest of the movie it's bleeped out. Generally, you can get away with one or two in a PG-13 movie. Similarly, the violence can be shot in a way that's not overly graphic or Deadpool makes a joke about how he figured there'd be more blood in his movie.

I actually think the character can benefit more from PG-13, since it would allow for breaking the fourth wall (which is one of the defining characteristics of Deadpool anyway). That'd be way different than any other comic book movie we've seen before too.

 

[RetroNerd87]

nowadays PG-13 and Rated R are so close its just a thin line that separates the two. Its usually the use of the f-bomb. I dont care which one they choose i just want to see Deadpool on the big screen in his costume.

Yes, he can make a joke out of how the studio made a crap film. We can all sit in the theaters and laugh our heads off while he slags off the producers and other actors.
He can make a joke out of how far they went to get the movie made only for the studio to bottle it.
He can make a joke out of the budget not being big enough. The special effects being crap.

The thing is, if he has to make a joke out of it, then something is wrong.

 

[Nokio]

I hate to be negative but I just can't get excited over this film. If Marvel was handling it then yes but FOX???? Dear god I hope they don't try and crossover Wolverine for a cameo or something.

 

[Nokio]

PG13 or rated R doesn't really bother me cause I know Deadpool can be pulled off with a PG13.

 

[Destructus86]

I'm totally fine with PG-13.

But since it's Fox and not Marvel I don't care.

 

[samsnee]

Sometimes it's funnier what you don't show but what you imply. And with a character that actually breaks the 4th wall a lot, a PG-13 can be a plus.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

I'm totally fine with PG-13.

But since it's Fox and not Marvel I don't care.

Did being Fox and not Marvel make DOFP, First Class, or X-2 less awesome? Did being Marvel make Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 not mediocre? No, it did not. So stop saying stupid ****.
