Ryan Reynolds "actively" working on Deadpool spinoff

[FaT_tONle]

Good to have you back Ace, and you makes sense.... only Fox probably has other lucrative properties they'd rather explore IMO. I think the other X-Men spinoffs have more potential than a Deadpool movie to be honest, and they do have other properties they need to exploit before losing the rights. That's why I think you are going to be waiting even longer.

Thanks bro

Yea, 2012 at the EARLIEST. That's how I've always thought it would be. Reynolds wants to do Deadpool, he has for nearly a decade. He wouldn't just completely abandon it. But as a actor with a star on the rise big time, he's gotta take other gigs.

Do people expect him to be sitting on his ass twiddling his thumbs waiting for a Deadpool script? He's taken the GL gig for $$$. He'll do Deadpool for personal gratification. GL the mid summer blockbuster. Deadpool the smaller, more of a cult hit that Reynolds just wants to do because he loves the character.

But I also must add this.

MTV Splash pages did a poll. Which X film does everyone want to see first? Wolverine 2, Magneto, Gambit, First Class or Deadpool.

Guess which one won?

 

[FaT_tONle]

Yeah but Renolds coming back has little to do with it. It depends on Fox's willingness to go forward with it. Obviously Renolds coming back would improve their chances, but if it's 5-6 years after Wolverine, Fox may not want to retread back to a character that was basically an extended cameo in a movie that long ago.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I understand that. But it's pretty clear from the dozens of interviews Reynolds has done in the last couple months that the Deadpool movie was basically gonna be a reboot of the character.

GL starts shooting at the start of next year right? Probably a 8 month shoot? So whilst all that is going on I don't see why Fox can't continue to look at scripts, get Reynolds in to throw ideas around and what.

Get a script sorted just after GL comes out in 2011. Start shooting Deadpool end of 2011 start of 2012. That seems plausible to me.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Don't you think Fox is more likely to look at writers for Wolverine 2 and First Class rather than wait on Renolds. Anyone of those projects moving forward before Deadpool and that potentially pushes everything back another 2-3 years. I wouldn't put too much stock in the MTV splash polls for that matter either.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea good points. I think 2013 is more likely then.

They work on more than one movie at a time. I think they'll have priority, but I dont think that excludes Deadpool.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I could still see Fox putting out 2 films in 2012. Magneto/Deadpool/DD are non-summer movies. Wolverine/First Class/FF are May/mid-June type films. So I can see any two of those, and possibly another summer tentpole in 2013. Fox has some options to work with. Just depends on how fast they are willing to move.

 

[E-Man]

I just realized that 2012 isn't that far away. It's a considerable amount of time to wait, but 3 years isn't that long.


And now I realize I'm getting old.


But Deadpool can still work like people have posted. I know this is speculation from Ace, but if 2012 is when Deadpool may come out, then there's plenty of time for Reynolds to do what he wants. Even if GL is as big as I think it will be, Reynolds won't be locked down much.

 

[drmick]

Let's see now

Patrick Stewart = Prof X = Capt Picard

Halle Berry = Storm = Catwoman (sorta)

Christian Bale = Batman = John Connor

Ryan Reynolds = Deadpool = GL = Hannibal King

I agree there is still no reason why RR can't be Deadpool, theVileOne was just trolling, he does that all the time.

However, if the GL franchise takes off, a sequel will be scheduled for 2 years after that (2013), as that seems to be the way sequels work nowadays. Reynolds' biggest danger will be scheduling conflicts. And the fact that we will be approaching 40!

I recently watched Wanted recently. Gets better on repeared viewings. The film even had plenty of 4th wall breakage in narration, and a nice facing the camera line at the end. They should get the Wanted director to direct Deadpool. And Elfman to do the score. And somehoew get Jolie, McEvoy and Freeman into the cast.

 

[E-Man]

You're entitled to your opinion drmick, but I absolutely hated Wanted. I really wish that I could erase that movie from my memory. I saw it for free, yet I still wanted to punch the person who let me borrow it. "Shoot the wings off this fly?" Where do they come from with that?

Wow. I'm pretty sure ur in the minority with that one. Unless you really had a thing for the comic series. I read the tpb after the seeing the film. I preferred the film.

 

[E-Man]

I haven't read the TPB, but I wanted to before the series was announced. I just never got around to ordering it, or something else caught my eye. I hated the movie so badly that I give it a 2/10, but the comic still intrigues me.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I thought Wanted was alright. But it's an acquired taste I think. You either love it or hate it.

 

[drmick]

But do you not feel that that is the style/atmosphere they should be aiming for? Because of the humour and violence. The Blade films are kinda more serious in tone, and the violence is more cartoony as most of the villains are vampires.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well yea it is very violent, and that shoot out at the end is insane. I'd love to seem something like that in Deadpool.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Wanted was far too stylized for Deadpool. He doesnt need all the slo-mo.

 

[Octoberist]

there's something in Wanted that I didn't like, and maybe it's because of its nihilistic nature:

The train scene was something that was kinda cool then..to my horror, all those passangers died as the train well from the bridge. Men, women and children. I guess that's cool..i don't know.

that's really cool that he isnt ruling out deadpool.

 

[Spider-Vader]

No Elfman for score, I hate him now because he didn't include the Terminator theme in Salvation.

I was gonna mention the exact same thing, but then it slipped my mind

Wanted was a bit too stylized and fancy. Deadpool should be more visceral and natural looking I think. More gritty and grimey rather than shiney and polished.

Sometimes I'm so amazed on how average he's gotten as of late. What happened?

It was cool. It was very very cool.


And DP shouldnt be gritty.....the comic is pretty stylized. Not Wanted level, but its not realistic or anything. X-2 stylized would be just fine.

 

[Octoberist]

i guess it was cool to see innocent people falling to their death in a train. lol

The final battle was seriously gritty in Wanted.

I'm pretty sure we didn't see anybody die on screen in the train sequence, so it is left to your imagination. No worse than the Shangai citizens in TF2, or the Vulcans in Star Trek or the Tatooiners in Star Wars really.

And no Americans got killed, and that's all that matters usually (they're may have been a backpacking American student on the train in all likelihood).
