'Deadpool' Movie To Be Scripted By The 'Zombieland' Writers

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/01/06/deadpool-movie-to-be-scripted-by-the-zombieland-writers/

OK, now I'm excited. I think they totally shat the bed with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and after they completely desacrated Deadpool, my optomism for the Deadpool spinoff was totally shot.

However, this announcement has gotten me back on board 100%. I fuggin' loved Zombieland, and I can't wait to see what they do with Deadpool. (Hopefully they give him his suit and lines of dialogue rather than the red pajama bottoms he had on in Wolverine) I think that they couldn't have picked a better writing team for this movie; Deadpool should be a black comedy, and they certainly have that pedigree.

Best of all, they are keeping it true to the comic book roots. So I hope they reboot and do away with Cyclops McSwordy-Arms.

But wait, there's more! They've also signed on for the Venom movie! I care less about them, and more that there is gonna be a Venom Movie!

And if you act right now...G.I. Joe 2 might suck less, because the Zombieland team has signed on for that film as well.

*Multiple Nerdgasms* Get me a towel!

I have a man-crush on Ryan Reynolds, and I want to see him play my favorite comic book character of all time. Especially since he is such a standard bearer for Deadpool. Fug Green Lantern though.

And I've always imagined Captain America with more of a Linebacker build, Reynolds is a wide receiver.

you really think they are going to let ryan reynolds star in a 60 mill+ marvel comics film and have him wear a mask/be scarred up the whole movie?

That and there is absolutely no way that they can get away with the sadism that dominated the comic, nor would it be funny on screen. not trying to burst your bubble, i'm just saying, Xmen wasn't dark enough, you think they'll make deadpool dark enough?

That's up to two people, or groups of people. The directors, and the writers. They got the writers to make this dark, the rest will be up to the director.

And as for the makeup, mask, scarification, I think (or would like to think) that Reynolds would insist on it. I've been following this for a while, and Reynolds has really been championing this picture, and keeping it true to the comics, for months. He might push for the makeup.

You may have a point with the sadism, but that will depend on the audience they go after. Marvel isn't afraid to make a bloody, R-rated super-hero movie (see Punisher)

it's gonna be a while, cause the actor is about to film Green Lantern first.

if you ask me he should've skipped both of those movies and tried for Captain America. he has the physique and is a decent enough actor.

Oh crap you are right. I totally forgot he landed GL. DC is finally listening to the fans and are going to make some serious dinero.

It's actually only up to one group of people. The producers. Everybody else is working for the weekend. And if Punisher's returns were any indication, marvel (disney) SHOULD be afraid of making a bloody, R-rated super-hero movie. Imo Reynolds is pushing this because he gets to headline a marvel franchise. Who wouldn't want that? The reality is that he makes his money in a large part on his looks, he isn't going to compromise that. This isn't Raging Bull. Maybe I'll be surprised though. I hope so.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
