Robert Rodriguez in Talks to Direct Deadpool After All



The initial report  of Robert Rodriguez being somehow involved in a “Deadpool” movie surfaced last month, but the director and the studio denied them. Then last week over at Comic Con, Rodriguez confirmed that he had indeed been given the script by Fox, and was reading it, though he refused to say if he was considering the director’s chair. Now according to the LATimes, Rodriguez is, indeed, in negotiations to direct a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds.

The article says no deals are in place, but that the two sides are definitely “negotiating” for Rodriguez to direct the comic book movie, a sequel (of sorts) to Fox’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, though the character was said to have outgrown that movie, and will in fact move in a completely different direction as if “Wolverine” never happened. Which is not a bad idea, given what they did to poor Deadpool in that one. Imagine, sewing Deadpool’s mouth shut. What’s next, making Superman knock up Lois Lane with a super baby? Ridiculous.

Rodriguez still has yet another entry in the lucrative “Spy Kids” franchise (the fourth one) on his plate, a film he announced over at Comic Con. After that, though, he appears to be free, which means a “Deadpool” movie is definitely a possibility for the Austin-based director. Will he be a good fit for it? Who knows, but he certainly has the kinetic action stuff down.

Any objections?

I say BRING IT!

Later the movie is like Desperado 

Owh don't la... I don't want a mexican guy as Deadpool (of course its close to impossible. )

Well, lets see how Avengers does it first. This won't come out anytime soon anyways.

Robert Rodriguez on 'Deadpool': 'It's a great script'

John Horn caught up with Robert Rodriguez on Monday to talk about the success of "The Expendables" and the epic fail of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" at the box office for an earlier article, and the conversation turned toward the filmmaker's own plans.



Robert Rodriguez sounds like he's drawing a bead on "Deadpool." But will he pull the trigger?

“It’s a great script and a great property,” an enthusiastic Rodriguez said of the Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick ("Zombieland") screenplay that would bring the "merc with the mouth" from Marvel Comics to the screen in his own film adventure.



Rodriguez says he has been in meetings with Twentieth Century Fox about directing the film, which, presumably, would star Ryan Reynolds, who portrayed the glib gunman "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Reynolds is becoming a major player in comic-book cinema considering his roles in next year's "Green Lantern" film, the planned "R.I.P.D." adaptation as well as his work in the "Blade" franchise.

Rodriguez, who just finished the final sound mix of "Machete," sounded gung ho about "Deadpool" but added that he is still debating his next project. “I’m just working everything out,” Rodriguez said, noting that he is choosing between three options for his next directing job. He said one is the long-discussed "Sin City 2" but he declined to name the other, though it could be "Nerveracker," a far-future thriller that was announced last year but hasn't moved as quickly as anticipated.

Robert Rodriguez May Be Out As Deadpool Director

It looks like Robert Rodriguez  and his bandana may not direct “Deadpool” due to scheduling conflicts. Between hyping “Machete” and directing another installment of the “Spy Kids” franchise (something I’m far too excited about), the timing doesn’t look like it is going to work out.

Rodriguez told Deadline that:-

"he has read the “Deadpool” script and likes it, but his own obligations promoting “Machete” and then directing “Spy Kids 4” has made his participation tenuous. “They are trying to make a certain small window that’s going to be tough because of ‘Spy Kids’ . . . If they push it back, it would be a lot better for me.”

Star Ryan Reynolds
is also busy, and has signed on to appear in “Safe House” with Denzel Washington. That film is scheduled to begin shooting early next year, which just so happens to be when Fox wanted to start filming “Deadpool”. If the title character is unavailable, I imagine the studio will most likely have to delay the start of production.

Ryan Reynolds Talks Deadpool’s Emotional Filth, Shame Spiral



Anyone who has been exposed to Deadpool, the merc with a mouth in the comic book pages already knows that there’s more here than just another superhero movie. If there’s one thing Deadpool isn’t, it is just another superhero movie. In fact, I’m not even sure if you can call him a superhero. He’s kinda, well, morally challenged.

Ryan Reynolds
, who is still committed to playing the character (Fox has optimistically set a 2012 release date for the “Deadpool” movie), recently talked to the LATimes about the script, about the character, and what he calls Deadpool’s “shame spiral”. Sounds fun.



Reynolds goes on to describe the “Deadpool” script by “Zombieland” writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the same script that Robert Rodriguez has already positively responded to, though it’s looking unlikely he’ll helm the movie given his busy schedule. But hey, there’s still a chance…



Reynolds also confirms what we already know, that the “Deadpool” movie will veer away from the character that showed up in the “Wolverine” movie, and the insane Deadpool will, when the need arises, break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience.

So if you’re not familiar with the character, forget what you saw in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. That wasn’t Deadpool. That was some sanitized version of Deadpool that Reynolds just had to play and prove that he could. Now that he’s proven he can, it’s time for the real Deadpool.

2012? Oh, if wishes came true…

Dear Ryan,

Please abandon all other movies that you have in line for next year. You have done Green Lantern and we're happy. Now you should move to this. We want the real Deadpool even when the one that we used to have in Origins is very tame of you. Way too tame.

Come on Ryan. You know you can do it. I know you can.

Regards,
Kyo.

I wonder if Deadpool movie is on - who would be his nemesis? 

Modern society! 

Modern society! 

Deadpool - Shall I slice you or dice you? Oh wait, I don't like your face. You need lead to fix that muck face of yours. BANG!

Modern Society - WTF?!?!?!

Ryan Reynolds Seems to Think he’ll Either Do R.I.P.D. or Deadpool, but Not Both

In which case, I got money that it’ll be “Deadpool”. Call it a hunch, or the fact that Reynolds has been talking up the role since forever, while “R.I.P.D.” has only recently come up. Then again, “R.I.PD.” already has itself a director, while “Deadpool” is flirting with Robert Rodriguez, so you can actually say that “R.I.P.D.” is further head in development…

In any case, here’s what Reynolds said about the two movies to IO9 while doing press for his new thriller “Buried”:



That last part is the soup bone quote: “But I think it would be more likely that only one of them gets made with me.”

Reynolds reiterates, though, that he won’t even be making that choice until he’s done with the comedy “The Change-up” and the action thriller “Safe House” with Denzel Washington as his follow-ups to “Green Lantern”.

It’s then that he starts working on either “R.I.P.D.” or “Deadpool”.

That is, unless “Green Lantern 2″ gets in the way first…

So, which one? He's packed!
