Back during the press rounds of The Crude's and G.I.Joe: Retaliation the number one question thrown at Ryan Reynolds and writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick was Deadpool. Then it all went silent. It seemd to be fast tracked back in 2009 but has hit speed bump after speed bump. Now it seems to get a little traction!
While doing the UK press rounds for Turbo Ryan Reynolds admits that the past few weeks the movie has inched closer and closer to being greenlight! The number one concern is the Graphic R Rating:
“[In] its current iteration the movie’s actually very small,” Reynolds revealed whilst doing press for animated snail story ‘Turbo’. “There’s minimal impact to the studio, which is the way we’re kind of presenting it to them. We’re saying ‘Look, the budget is minimal. Therefore, can we do this the way it should be done?’ Which unfortunately needs a Rated R [age certificate] or it needs those elements.”Then a week later Clevver Movies spoke with up and coming director of Deadpool Tim miller who also confirms that Deadpool is closer then ever to moving forward!
"We will never give up! Deadpool is still alive and we're just waiting for the studio to embrace what an amazingly fucking awesome film this would be. Ryan is ready, I am ready, the fans are more than ready, we just need that elusive green light!"This definitely seems to be a massive passion project with everyone involved. Its good to hear Reese & Wernick have update the script! Thats always a good sign.I wonder if FOX will be smart and just release that 3 minute Test Footage they filmed last year?!
