Sequels Deadpool Spin-off Confirmed

[Karelia]

Their hasn't been any news about this in awhile. It's expected since RR is working on GL right now, but I'm most excited for this film than any other super hero flick coming out.

In terms of crossover, it could be well in Fox's best interests to allow cross contamination of their universes. Halo effect and all that.

In saying that, I'm not sure if any of the movies would be suitable for a cameo, especially the Marvel studios ones.

I wonder when were going to hear something new about this film? Arghhh.

We're not big fans of offer stories for obvious reasons. Everyone in Hollywood, directors, writers and actors are offered parts, scripts, meetings, etc. and its not really news until something happens. But from Deadline, THR (more a "in-the-mix story") onto Vulture, this is the world we must all play ball in.

So with that in mind, Robert Rodriguez has been offered to direct "Deadpool" by 20th Century Fox tipped to us by the latest issue of Production Weekly and confirmed to us by a sources very close to the project. It is something he is considering, but that's it at the moment. But perhaps more tellingly, it clearly indicates that Fox is happy with how the "Predators" and "Machete"/ Troublemaker relationship is going so far and this is also indicated by the fact that this is the second project in five months they have offered the Austin-based filmmaker (they also offered him the "Planet Of The Apes" reboot and he passed, but they also offered it to at least three other filmmakers too which illustrates the randomness of an offer story — none of those directors took the gig).

Keep in mind, this is just an offer before you get your pants in a twist. Personally we don't like the idea for myriad reasons that should be obvious considering our feelings about "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and C-list characters, but chiefly because we'd rather see the "Bladerunner" influenced sci-fi film "Nervewrackers" come to the screen and or any original or homegrown Troublemaker projects that have been brewing.

Our bet (hope) is he passes, but that's just a total guess on our part. Is "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds still attached? Presumably yes, if they're putting out offers. The fast-moving Rodriguez shoots "Spy Kids 4: Armageddon" this summer, and then has the Nimród Antal-helmed "Predators" in theaters on July 9 and "Machete" on September 3. Personally, we liked when this information (offers) stayed behind closed doors.

Rodriguez has a penchant for bloody violence like he showed in Sin City. I think he's the man for the job if they were going to go for a Rated R version of the film. If they're going PG 13 then they should get somebody else.

I'm always baffled by the support for Rodriquez. He helped give us a great Sin City movie (albeit word for word/frame by frame of what was in the comic), but what else has he done that was... good?

"Helped"? It was obvious who directed the movie.

Unless you think The Spirit was some kind of cinematic masterpiece.

 

[JP]

The movie had 3 directors. So yeas, he "helped".

 

[Project862006]

from dusk till dawn is another good one

dont know where you were getting at JP lol

 

[WillardNation]

This is ****ing awesome!!! I would like to take this time to point out that I was the very first person to suggest Rodriguez for Deadpool. t:

(on these boards anyway)

 

[JP]

Let's wait and see if he accepts the offer first. LOL

 

[Spider-Vader]

Please, please, please, pleeeeeeeeeeease. Maybe this shows Fox understands the character?....Now.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

GOD,I hope the deal is sealed with him directing it.

El Mariachi and Desperado

I'd also like to add Grindhouse to that. Planet Terror rocks.

I was getting worried about this production. No news for a while. Which i suppose could be expected, seeing as GL is shooting.

But then they come out with this!?!?! AWESOME. Love Rodriguez. I honestly don't know how anyone can not like Dusk till Dawn or Planet Terror.

The great thing about Rodriguez is his sheer balls. And he can manage a budget. I think that's why Fox went for him. Rodriguez could make a great Deadpool film with 40-50 million. Also, with Rodriguez at the helm it gives me confidence we'll get at least a semi accurate Deadpool film. Fox don't give many directors free reign... but Rob Rod has basically had full creative control over Predators and Machete.

Even if he doesn't accept, it shows Fox are going in the right direction.
