Ryan Reynolds Says DEADPOOL Has Taken "Tiptoes Forward" In The Last Couple Of Weeks
Are 20th Century Fox FINALLY moving forward with Deadpool? Talking about the "minimal budget" and leaked script which ended up online, Ryan Reynolds seemingly hints that the last few weeks may have seen some sort of development on the movie finally move forward. Read on for details!
"[In] its current iteration the movie’s actually very small,. 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. The script is probably available online, it leaked.
But it’s very meta, I mean the character knows he’s in a movie, he knows he’s in a comic book. He names studio executives in the script. So, it’s kind of a risky property. But, you know, we’ll see. It's actually, within the last couple of weeks, taken a few very, very small tiptoes forward. In our lifetime? Yeah, I think so. I think if I were a betting man it’ll get made, eventually. I mean it’s just been developed to high heaven. It has great people around it, so we’ll see."
What do you guys think these "very, very small tiptoes forward" could be? Hopefully we'll see this iteration of Deadpool on the big screen sooner rather than later!
