Needed a thread of his own.

Deadpool Creator Robert Liefeld Comments On Tim Miller Directing The Big Screen Adaptation!

Deadpool Creator Robert Liefeld Comments On Tim Miller Directing The Big Screen Adaptation!

Robert Liefeld, who created "Merc with a Mouth" along with Fabian Nicieza, shares his thoughts on Tim Miller directing the Deadpool adaptation. Check it out!

Via Twitter, creator Robert Liefeld shared some of his thoughts regarding Tim Miller, a director who will bring Deadpool to the big screen, in his own comic book adaptation.

"The Deadpool director, Tim Miller has an outstanding CGI/FX company, Blur Studios. Miller has all the instincts, tools and tech to pull off the most crazy aspects of Deadpool film. And Miller had to run the gauntlet, getting the blessing of writers Reese and Wernick, as well as Ryan Reynolds AND the studio. The Deadpool script calls for some CRAZY visual sequences - needed a director with extensive FX mojo. Looking forward 2 Tim Miller's direction.

Trust me, having read the script a thousand times, I had legitimate concerns over directors being able to handle the requirements of DP. I believe the DP film scared the crap out of some prospective directors. As a matter of fact I know some of them were intimidated. Seriously the action and direction imagined by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick is crazy complicated. Think the best of Kill Bill, Matrix, Woo.."

With Ryan Reynolds still attached, Deadpool is probably going to start production this year.

Very much looking forward to the new x-men, being a fan from when I was 14 and under - still have most of the the comics mint. Don't know a whole lot of deadpool, but I like the idea. Sometimes comic adaptions get screwed, other times they are good - I am glad hollywood glammed onto the idea years ago regardless.

Another comic book adaption I am looking forward to: The Walking Dead. First 3 were great, other 3 were a downward spiral and the writers were fired (hopefully shot). With stephen king onboard, Kirkman and the producer writing episodes, I think the series will be turned around in full. Heres to hoping hollywood doesn't screw with us!

One of the quirks of Deadpool is that he's one of the very few characters in the Marvel Universe that knows he's in a comicbook.

I wonder if they'll use that in the movie?

Deadpool has surprisingly grown on me, tho he's in just about everything nowadays. The casting for Deadpool was spot on, even if everything else about Deadpool was hilaroiusly atrocious from the Wolverine movie. It's a shame Reynalds has to do what is looking like a horrible Green Lantern adaptation before this movie can get it's feet off the ground. I absolutely don't see Reynalds as Green Lantarn already, but it's still a lame movie for a lame character in a lame universe. Even if Deadpool isn't my tastes, Deadpool fills a niche and does it well.

I thought Dead Pool was a Clint Eastwood movie.

Rob Liefeld Says He's Seen 8 Minutes Of Test Footage From The DEADPOOL Movie

Rob Liefeld Says He's Seen 8 Minutes Of Test Footage From The DEADPOOL Movie

Well he hints at it in a silly "I may or may not have" kinda way. Regardless, he offers up some interesting details and if he is to be believed, there is some footage out there..somewhere!.. Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy - 1/13/2012

Bleeding Cool have picked up on an interesting conversation between Rob Liefeld and Scott Lobdell at last week's Amazing Arizona Comic Con. Liefeld reckons he's seen some test footage from the Deadpool movie Fox are working on, and that it's eight minutes of R rated Merc With A Mouth style mayhem..

They’ve got a great director on the movie, they’ve got a great script. I may or may have not seen some sort of test of footage that would blow your mind if you saw it and go holy crap and that’s Deadpool in costume. Katana swords, guns, shooting people’s faces off and making me laugh. And I may or may not have seen something that looks just like that. And you’ve got what would amount to the first R Rated X-Men movie. Because that script is R Rated.

They may or may not have wanted to shoot eight minutes to see how it would play. And all I can tell you, it’s close. It’s closer that it’s even been to going, or going Naaah, that’s too scary a proposition to make a R Rated Deadpool movie.”

We know that Tim Miller has signed on to direct the movie, but since that we haven't really heard much about it. Ryan Reynolds is still in line to play the character but he hasn't officially signed on yet as far as we are aware. But if Liefeld is on the level thsi sounds very promising, and at least confirms that they are making progress. Hopefully this footage finds its way online at some point, I won't hold my breath though.

DEADPOOL Likely To Go Into Production This Year; Ryan Reynolds Still Attached

DEADPOOL Likely To Go Into Production This Year; Ryan Reynolds Still Attached

According to a new report, Deadpool will finally go into production this year with Ryan Reynolds still set to play Wade Wilson. We also have an update on the status of The Wolverine. Josh Wilding - 1/18/2012

The Geek Files report that Deadpool will indeed go into production at some point this year. While director Tim Miller has been attached to the project since last April, there's been little news in regards to the official status of the spin-off - we were repeatedly assured that it was still happening, just not when exactly. Of course, it was only last week that artist Rob Liefeld revealed that he'd seen eight minutes of test footage for the R-Rated flick.

In other news, the site goes on to reveal that Green Lantern star Ryan Reynolds is still attached to play the 'Merc With A Mouth.' Their sources at 20th Century Fox have also confirmed that The Wolverine will go into production this year.

Ryan Reynolds Updates Deadpool Progress; Rating Could Be a Factor

6 February 2012 12:55 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Besides X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner admitting last September that a Deadpool movie was still in the works and would "redeem" the character from his appearance in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the most recent update about the movie came when Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld teased a few weeks ago that he "may or may not" have seen eight minutes of "blow your mind" test footage from Deadpool.
The latest update about the movie's progress comes from actor Ryan Reynolds, who is attached to play the character once Fox decides to move forward. In an interview with MTV, Reynolds said that Deadpool is only a matter of "budget and time."

Marvel characters always die, and Deadpool is no exception. He died at one point, and if I recall correctly, was revived and immortalized by a curse from Death for sleeping with his wife. He has since lost the curse, but is still damn hard to kill, much less keep dead.
