Deadpool thread.

First of all, that's pretty much how all comedians, let alone all of comedy, works. Comedy is 70% timing and delivery and 30% material. Dane Cook is brialliant because he is unlike any comic you can name.


Secondly, Ryan Reynolds would be a good choice because he is naturally charming and funny, but Sean William Scott is lame. People only think of him as a funny guy because he has been shoved down our throats and less sophisticated people don't seem to realize it.

Dane is kinda like the new Jim Carey, but w/e.

And i hate to turn this into a Seann William Scott good or bad thread, but i think SWS is up there with the rest of them. I saw him in Stark Raving Mad and he has a lot of potential. Hes in the upcoming Southland Tales from Richard Kelly and in Mr. Woodcock with Billy Bob Thorton. I hope ppl will see him in a new light. If i was in control i would certainly give special consideration Scott just to prove ppl wrong.

btw, an update on the cast list.

Patch: Brian Doyle-Murray

ITs hard to cast such a strange looking character, so i based it on personality and voice. When i read Patch's dialogue this is the guy i hear,

This prolly the best thing it has going for it. Because studios are definately on the look out for small budget movies with the recent slump. Besides, the only CGI they need his DP's crazy healing factor.

Yep.. It's cost effective.

 

[SouLeSS]

Throw Patton Oswold a bone and make him in the movie.

 

[deemar325]

^ No issue with that. who could he play?

 

[SouLeSS]

Weasel.

It's funny, because I'm the complete opposite. Ryan Reynolds is completely unfunny to me, and I certainly feel he's been "shoved down our throats," whereas I find Seann William Scott hilarious.

Well the way I see it I think Reynolds should be the one to play DP, he's not really funny but he can be cinical in a serious way and I think that he can be very dark, he can play phsychotic if he wants to and has the dark edge that DP needs to have, he's funny but not in a sane way, when you see DP you have to laugh but notice that he's a crazy MF. although SWS could also pull that off, but right now I think RR has the edge on that part.

 

[deemar325]

^ I agree. Reynolds would be great as Deadpool, but Dane Cook is the right actor to me.

What about the action, what kind of scenes would you guys like to see in a DP movie?

Lots of kung-fu fight scenes. True to life. No Crouching Tiger, Hidden Tiger. Tony Jaa should be the DP kung-fu double. It would be crazy.

Lots of shootouts

DP using swords against thugs with guns

DP in crazy getaway scenes like jumping off tall buildings and such.

Yea that's exactly what I was thinking specially DP using his swords, I would love to see him use his swords against a group of trained killers with machine guns, cutting arms and slashing through a whole army while throwing in some jokes.

Said it before and I'll say it again, The Rundown. Although not strictly martial arts per se, not only was the fighting awesome and underappreciated but the gunplay is just as insane and DP should have a lot of it. And the action should be LIKE movies like the Rundown, The Transporter movies, and Ong Bak. Very fast and brutal and high flying. DP's a suprisingly agile guy for his size. When I think Deadpool movie, I think of the scene in the Transporter where he kicks the door down. Add quips to that whole action sequence and it's pure Deadpool.

...Speaking of which, I think Jason Statham would make an awesome Taskmaster. ...Man...Jason Statam's Taskmaster vs Tony Jaa(stuntman)'s Deadpool...Sheer genius. Although since Taskmaster is pretty racialy ambiguous so I'd love Donnie Yen as Taskmaster even more. Now THERE'S a match. Donnie Yen vs Tony Jaa.

^ I see Deadpool being visually and tonely similiar to 'Fight Club' somehow that should be the tone to me, a dark and morbid action movie with black comedy and a Terry Gilliam/David Lynch askewed lense with a hint of vertigo and a dash of '12-Monkeys' married to Tony Scott's 'Domino/Man on Fire'.

Is that to weird? Does that make sense anyone?

Just think about it.

 

[Sachsmachine]

I have to agree on the Ryan Reynold's casting, perfect choice. But if there is a movie he has to break the 4th wall and talk to the camera and realize he's in a movie from time to time during the flick.

I get where your going but i always figured go simple. No lens! No filters! Just action and jokes!

That could make for some really hilarious moments, maybe something like;
Deadpool voiceover:"I used to be in a comic book, and then all of a sudden they decided to put me in a movie, without even bothering to ASK ME!!!"

I think this might be the only thing i dont want in a DP movie. It might be too campy for the general audience.

LOL! that would be an awesome opening voice over for the movie.

Hey I don't want campy I think 1-3 moments in the span of a whole movie could be tastfully done and bowel looseningly hilarious

Hmm. I like it but I think it would detract from the comedy more than help...I say just get the guy who did the Rundown. Slapstick comedy meets action. Just perfect. His filming style is not necessarily dark but it exagerates what is there. Like if it's day you get this excrutiatingly bright and sunny day, almost lighthearted even and at night you get that Fight Club look.

I want ot see a fight scene between DP and Taskmaster. I always thought it was interesting that Dp could get the best of Taskmaster. I remember an issue when he fought Taskmaster. He was getting his but whooped until TM told DP about his photo-reflexes he started acting crazy and unpredicatble. He beat up TM by doing the macarena, IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

 

[Sachsmachine]

Yeah I wanna hear DP call him the Tackmaster

 

[Bullseye]

^ I agree. Reynolds would be great as Deadpool, but Dane Cook is the right actor to me.

Can Dane Cook play a supervillain? I think not.

 

[Savage]

No-one's asking him to play a supervillain, just a selfish merc.
