The Writers Of The DEADPOOL Movie Might Be...
Merrick here...
In THIS report over at CHUD, Devin's gleaned some information re: who might be writing the oft-discussed DEADPOOL movie. Devin's careful to label this as a rumor, although he calls it a "strong" one.
Says Devin:
it looks like Fox could be hiring Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers of Zombieland, to script the adventures of the Merc With A Mouth. I did my due diligence and asked around but couldn't get a solid confirmation, so regard this one as a strong rumor.
But if it's more than a rumor - and my source tells me there could be a trade break announcing this within days - it's actually a very good sign for Deadpool.
It's hard to image these guys making a bigger mess of things than the WOLVERINE team did, so I'm game...

...as long as they cast Reynolds who was pitch-perfect.
Otherwise, GTFO. -
Hopefully they keep some humor but make it dark enough to earn an R rating. If it has bloodless sword killing ala Wolverine and Equilibrium, I'll pass.
-
The guy who does the Marvel/DC parodies on youtube. He should be one of the writers, he has a great feel for the character.
-
...than I imagine Wolverine was.
-
...hope they keep him, He is a perfect deadpool.
-
In it, he looked like he did at the end of Wolverine with the sewed up mouth. But somehow, he could talk anyway.
-
but afterwards, upon reflection, I saw it as 90 minutes of missed opportunities. Much like X-3.
-
and one done by FOX? how many times are you going to keep trying to kick that football, Charlie Brown?

You know, because fans hate that.

A while back after the Wolverine movie hit theaters that Reynolds was on board. In fact, it was an interview with him that said he would only do it if they allowed him to make Deadpool as he really is, giving that Reynolds in real life is a Deadpool geek. He also confirmed that fucked up skin, skull and costume are in it. They were working on a story by scanning the Deadpool Essentials.
-
"There goes his head...and it's STILL firing optic blasts?! D'OH!!!"
-
Ryan Reynolds is a fine guy and all, but I just don't see why everyone's so in love with the idea of him as Deadpool. It confuses me.
Also, were you aware that your loved ones could be carrying germs? -
I felt that the best part of Wolverine was Wade annoying all his teammates on their intro mission. It was criminal that they could actually get tone of the character pretty good for one scene, then purposefully remove him from the film and replace him with generic KEWL-BAD-ASS! So minus those same ding-a-lings and their r-tard plot ideas, I'm all for Reynolds as Wade.

-
Remember Blade 3!! The guy is lame and unfunny, The dude is Dane Cook!
-
. . . you don't fully understand the meaning of "LAME & UNFUNNY."
-
...had WRITERS?Who the fuck were they - Curly, Larry and Moe?
-
In a perfect world, he'd be my first choice to write AND direct. Plus he apparently helped Favreau with the Iron Man script, so he'd probably be game.
-
I really do not think anything shy of a James Cameron $250 million masterpiece would do this film justice.
-
... Tarantino? I keep hearing that lately.
-
So Deadpool might not be another Daredevil. The Jury's still out on Reynolds with me though.
-
Ghostbuster 3. Just don't let Ramis shit that franchise down the drain.
-
Where he has to DEAL with his powers. Sick of those comic book movies. Plus Deadpool accepts his powers.
-
The Brown Lantern? That's a little too close to the Shit Lantern!
-
...we need more Jackie Brown, True Romance fare. Kill Bill was alright but the Inglorious Basterds... yikes. Go back to your roots, daddy-o. Trying to get your hooks into the mainstream is fucking murdering your chi.
-
Much better fit.
-
never cared for them.
-
There is no way, and I repeat, NO WAY that FOX is gonna do any justice to a fucking deadpool movie. Regardless who's attached. After all the disrespect they did to other comic book movies. No budget, no creativity, no loyalness to the material, Lauren Schuler Donner, FOX. Come on, all signs of a terrible film. Deadpool will be a bloodless PG13 naked ryan reynolds documentary. Fuck these updates about FOX's slate. It was a damn shame seeing all those stupid ass people lined up at the theater to see Origins. FOX is laughing because they make these movies shitty on purpose and idiots pay to see it. And Fuck Hugh Jackman for saying he loves Wolverine as he clearly had no involvement in making the movie. Instead we got a cliched TV episode of Simon and Simon. FOX has been making bullshit since the start of the decade and it needs to be known. A once proud studio that has left its dignity in the dust from every apsect of their nature. Putting out offensive and atrocious movies constantly fucking over its directors and disrespecting its audience like they cotton picking slaves. With this year being the most offensive to world renown genres such as Street Fighter, Dragonball, Wolverine, Terminator the series, the list goes on. So with that cleared up, there is NO WAY a fucking Deadpool movie is going to work. FOX is the master at coming up with shitty ideas on purpose. They know how to do it perfectly, executing flawless shitty interpretations of characters that we all know and love. Its like a a chick marrying the guy that beats on her all the time. Doesnt make any sense.
-
. . . that Tarantino immediately said no thanks.
-
Nobody. Tumbleweeds blowing down the cinema ailes. If you want to see it, dig to the bottom of the Reduced Price bin at Blockbuster.
-
If GL is in development hell and Deadpool is only hiring writers now is this some sign that even tentpole movies will be hard to get produced. I have a feeling GL will go the way of Justice League movie and deadpool if it does get made isn't that well known of a character outside fanboys. I don't see them putting reynolds in a full mask the whole movie either or messing up his face. I just think that if they hire reynolds people are going to want to see reynolds.

I'd enjoy a superhero movie done in the vain of Zombieland thoug
by wickedjester
I could see Reynolds doing voiceovers in the same way they had Eisenberg narrating Zombieland.
-
with a gun.
Okay, two guns. -
The script for Zombieland showcased the kind of humour and one-liners that I would hope for out of a Deadpool movie. If they sign a not-incompetent director to this, who resists the urge to hire the writers of Catwoman to do a rewrite, this could turn out well.Still, to pour some cold water on this, I have to admit that every time halfway talented writers get hired for a project I flash back to how the Puppet Masters turned out.
-
Especially if these guys are on board.
-
If there's any Marvel movie I'd like to be seen done right, it's DEADPOOL. Good news, maybe they learned something from WOLVERINE!
-
Because they knew Shit about Zombies.
-
i am not a big fan of deadpool,i prefer Solo,but Ryan was one of the few good things from the Wolvie movie,so it will be interesting if they make the movie with him.and ofc Leifeld will have a cameo.
-
bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-
I know we can do better than Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. He can crack wise okay in certain, clinical settings but carry a superhero movie? No. Have some sense and try harder. If you just want to fuck over geeks via casting, then just cast Dane Cook. Ryan Reynolds is out completely.
Also, Phategod2, hate to break it to you, but zombies aren't real. Thus, it is difficult to know things about them. Do you mean zombie movies or the voodoo practice of creating a zombie? Either way, Zombieland is a perfectly find zomedy. -
Don't they have some say over the rights or what?
-
Deadpool never did much that The Watcher was interested in. That does not discount the high entertainment value that Deadpool offers. The fourth wall was meant to be broken.
-
We've got a good team on Predators - there seems to be no interference at this point. Then a good announcement on Deadpool. This seems surprising in a good way - weird.
-
Yet it doesn't make up yet for the weapon 11 garbage i heard about.
-
I've official read the most retarded casting suggestion ever on AICN. Gratz.
-
I hope they do a decent job though. Mind you, I think I'm one of the very few who didn't really like Zombiebland that much. Fair play to them though.
-
Skimmed the sentence there, buddy.
-
the Jinx movie as a Die Another Day spin-off for Halle Berry. Ryan Reynolds won't be doing this and The Green Lantern.
-
Cuz you know even if Ryan Reynolds still wanted to be Deadpool, DC will be right there to cock block him because he's their new Emerald Warrior.

Covered in mtv, I think in their splashpage section. He said he turned it down because he didn't want fanboys arguing with him over every litle detail, and if he ever did a superhero fliq it would be his own, that way it can be done from the ground up.
-
It truly sucked. Made X3 look like ... X2.
-
Read recent interviews
-
It's on track to start shooting next spring/summer for release June 2011. There have not been any reputable reports stating otherwise. We will see a GL movie long before a Deadpool movie.
-
...and Jackman for at least one more movie each. ?? Anybody? Anyway, if that's the case now would definitely be the time. Because the womens liked him in The Proposal and that brings more asses to the theater than just counting on the die-hard X-folk.
-
His backhanded compliment of "It's hard to image these guys making a bigger mess of things than the WOLVERINE team did" which implies that the guys who made ZOMBIELAND are about as good as the guys who made Wolverine.
-
lmao that sums it up perfectly! Hopefully Deadpool's taken in a completely different direction than that pile.

liesandpicturesofalsolies. do you know ANYTHING about Deadpool?
by tall_boy66
He is SUPPOSED to crack wise constantly whilist killing many people. That's his thing. That's why you cast Ryan Reynolds. Or are you pretending to be an authority on some character you don't know a single whit about
-
Is really no origin at all. Anyone who knows the comics knows that he barely knows who he is, and what we as readers know may actually just be part of his delusion.
The perfect way to start the movie would be to take a cue from the first marvel ultimate alliance game. In there, each character has his own solo mission that you play to unlock a costume, but before the mission, there's a quick little rundown of the charcter's origin read by the character. Deadpool basically ends up just using bits and pieces of Spidey's, Wolverine's, and every other well-known Marvel hero 1.) because he thinks they're all way cool and 2.) because he just might actually believe on that given day that that was his origin and 3.) because he wants to impress the audience, which he knows is there.
Imagine if the opening sequence started with him in voice-over telling us about his life and we essentially get deadpool super-imposed over spidey, hulk, iron man, wolverine, in little snippets of their actual origins.
Would certainly start the movie off on the right foot. Start it off that way, and then just make sure the character loves killing people and blowing shit up, and you can't really fuck up a deadpool movie. It's an absolute writer's sandbox. -
I am authority on terrible actors, of which Ryan Reynolds is one. If Deadpool is supposed to be a bland, uncharismatic, broad wisecracking dude, then forgive my ignorance, Ryan Reynolds is a great choice. Perfect really.
I just thought people might be interested in a good movie, my mistake.
Seriously though, I don't have a degree in Deadpool like you do, but I know enough to realize that there is an actual character there that people enjoyed rather than an autonomous wisecrack delivery system. Wasn't he also supposed to be a badass? Please, for my own amusement, claim Ryan Reynolds was a badass in any of his previous roles. -
Or will this be just a brainless fightie film.
-
The fecker uses acid as a moisturiser.
Just get an insanely great actor.
-
That way if it gets messed up or if no one cares, people will just say "well, it's a Christian fliq, so that's way it's a piece of crap." I'm watching it now on this channel in soCal called Smile Of A Child, basically a Christian children's channel. He even has a lair called.....drumroll....the Bibleman cave haha. He even has his own Biblegirl and other male sidekiq, both minorities of course. This is the willie aames version, idk about any other versions.
-
A gold lightsaber. Of course it's not called that, but you know a certain short chubby little ewok won't be too thrilled if Bibleman has a fliq where he uses his gold lightsaber.
-
So I don't have to go to the theater to make fun of how bad it is...
-
You make me weep tears of joy. We need to meet for a beer.
-
The biggest danger to this film is being made at Fox. After all the hype I don't care to see anyone else as Deadpool. I just want to see a major release dare to be VERY violent, funny, AND break the fourth wall.
-
Cause then they're onto something.
-
geesh.. Zombieland was dreadful.
-
The guy who wrote and directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the perfect person to make a Deadpool movie.
-
Really.
-
Check out Zombieland if you want a taste of witty dialogue--which is a MUST for Deadpool.
-
Was anyone else expecting him to say the writers of this inevitable shit-fest to be manatees?

Deadpool has 3 ongoing monthlies-popular enough for a movie
by thesecondquest
How many other characters are popular enough to hold down 3 ongoing monthlies plus appearances in multiple other titles and miniseries at the same time? Spider-Man, Wolverine, Supes & Bats, that's about it. So it certainly has a fanbase. Ryan as Wade was generally cited by fans and critics as the only good thing about WOlverine Origins, so he's got the backing. Ryan has the personal interest and seemingly pulling his weight around to keep it true to the comics and is still with the project despite Green Lantern. So all things look good.

"If Deadpool is supposed to be a bland, uncharismatic, broad wisecracking dude"
Yes, exactly! He isn´t the superhero-badass-attitude type, he´s a mercenary, selfish, bipolar, arrogant, wiseass, pervert, jealous, lonely, really funny dude... No one in Marvel Universe likes him...
He likes money, killing, tacos and Bea Arthur... 'Nuff Said.
Well, if is going to have the same pop culture reference that has in Zombieland it´ll work in the Deadpool... And another thing, the fans wanted Ryan, the writers, Rob Liefield, Ryan himself, even Deadpool wants...
But I´m afraid of two things:
1: Fox fucked up everything!
2: GL gonna delayed even more DP...
And in my opinion, Ryan isn´t a good Green Lantern, really, I can´t see him like Hal Jordan...
I hope, from the bottom of my heart, Deadpool ends up like Punisher:War Zone violence movie and a lot of hot chicks... Also, Blind Al, Bob agent of Hydra and Weasel. NO Copycat, Syrin, T-Ray or bodyslide trash. -
I think you're missing liesandpicturesofalsolies's point. He's describing any given character from a sitcom... boring ("bland"), unlikable ("uncharismatic"), and humorous but without individuality ("broad wisecracking dude"). The only thing that jives with what you just described is "unlikable". If that is what liesandpicturesofalsolies thinks Ryan Reynolds is like, I can understand perfectly why he would think that he's not a fit for Deadpool, as you describe the character.

by tall_boy66
Christ, you are a fucking idiot. Your entire argument is based thusly: "Ryan Reynods is not good for Deadpool! All he does is make jokes!" People who actually know who the fuck Deadpool is: "Well, that's what Deadpool does. He makes jokes and shoots people." You: "Uhhhh.... RYAN REYNOLDS SUCKS!!! So I do decree!" Memo: if you're going to present yourself on an authority about something then please do your research before PRESENTING YOURSELF AS AN AUTHORITY ABOUT SOMETHING!!!

Tell me is that how you engage in transactions with four dollar hookers you meet at the bus station at 2 in the afternoon? 4 Dollar Hooker: "Me love you long time, solider boy! Suckie sucke!" You: "Please, for my own amusement, take a shit on my chest and then shove it down my throat." 4 Dollar Hooker: "You real fucked up, solder boy. I take shit on your mouth now!" You: "Please, for my own amusement, do a real loose diarrhea shit on my--MUHPH!"
-
I think you missed my point...The way I see, he describes any super-dude for any super-dude movie... My point is, the character Deadpool isn't anything like the others, so thats why may work, independent of the actor...In some kind of a way, deadpool is "boring"(No arch enemies or big plot), "unlikable"(not favorite or famous hero),"humorous but without individuality"(annoying Knock Knock porn jokes)...
And for the record, I do think Ryan is funny... Ryan isn´t funny compared to who? Hugh Jackman? Chris Evans? Christian Bale? Wesley Snipes? Ben Aflleck? Tobey Maguire? -
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-
I don't know how I feel about the Zombieland guys doing this. I just saw Zland and liked it well enough(the rules popping up when they occur was...er..cute..) but I wasn't bowled over by the "wise cracking" dialogue. They royally fucked this character in Wolverine so they OWE it to the Deadpool character to make it up.
