'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.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

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

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
