ReZourceman Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Word. Basically, if it isn't on AICN its not true. --------- And the Deadpool news is awesome. You've never been so wrong Paj about you thinking it might be awful. If they hire an at least SEMI competent/competant writer it'll rule.
Paj! Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 And the Deadpool news is awesome. You've never been so wrong Paj about you thinking it might be awful. If they hire an at least SEMI competent/competant writer it'll rule. How do you know though? All I see is utter recipe for disaster. I'm not dissing Deadpool comics, btw. Cinema translations of the comic-booky feel haven't been smooth thus far. If they make it silly enough it could work. I wasn't impressed with Reynolds 2 lines in Wolverine, but everyone tells me he's perfect. So i'll believe them. It'll take more than a good writer I think.
Dan_Dare Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I just hope they disconnect it from the whole Wolverine thing. if anyone tries to make it 'dark and edgy' they should be fired on the spot. It needs to be a spoof, if anything. A Blazing Saddles grade genre demolition. Deadpool is insane in his own brilliant way, and they need to capture that. a great example from the latest run. Nick Fury: You took your time Deadpool: sorry, exposition heavy scene. It just needs be self aware of genre conventions and so on, then shred them (and the fourth wall)
Paj! Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I just fear that it won't be that, stemming off Wolverine.
Dan_Dare Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 It'd certainly be a shame. One to be avoided by, oh I dunno, reading an issue of Deadpool!
Happenstance Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I have a bad feeling that they will drop the 4th wall stuff and just have him making jokes all the way through the movie
LazyBoy Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I have a bad feeling that they will drop the 4th wall stuff and just have him making jokes all the way through the movie Agreed, which is a shame.
Dan_Dare Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah it'd proper suck. In the books he has conversations with the writer about what to do next, he can see captions and all sorts. it's the best thing about the series.
ReZourceman Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 It technically has the potential to be just...amazing. I mean, its practically the best casting of any comic film ever. Ryan has said he cares for the role (I read today) so thats good, and...well the writers need to be someone who's actually read an issue of Deadpool. One issue. And I'll be happy. (Cos the Wolvie writers clearly didn't)
LazyBoy Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 How will they carry of the whole yellow box thing? It's a bit of a running theme in the comics.
Dan_Dare Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Well in the comic it's yellow for Deadpool, White for the writers. It's all supposed to be in his head anyway so he could just stop and turn to the camera. or Internal monologue with boxes filling with text on screen as he talks. That would be amazing.
Happenstance Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I still think Ryan Reynolds would have been perfect for The Flash aswell, I know he was originally linked for a long time but I seem to remember an interview a while ago saying he wont be playing him.
Happenstance Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I think that page was the first time id really seen Deadpool
Solo Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 I haven't seen the film yet but that figurine looks like Baraka.
Retro_Link Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 Haven't seen the film yet either, but is that what deadpool looks like!! Why's he about as different to the comic version as possible?!
S.C.G Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Damn, that Terminator trailer was fine I wasn't too sure about all the terminators being CGI in it but it looks like it could work, it's good to see Arnie in there even if it's seemingly just a cameo role, John Connor is clearly the main role here. But yeah it's looking pretty epic either way though I have to wonder, surely this will be the last Terminator film we will see? at least for a while...
Retro_Link Posted May 8, 2009 Author Posted May 8, 2009 But yeah it's looking pretty epic either way though I have to wonder, surely this will be the last Terminator film we will see? at least for a while...Nope, it's the first of a new trilogy, and I think some sort of pre-production work has already started on T5.
Nintendohnut Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Damn, that Terminator trailer was fine I wasn't too sure about all the terminators being CGI in it but it looks like it could work, it's good to see Arnie in there even if it's seemingly just a cameo role, John Connor is clearly the main role here.

I didn't see him in there at all...?
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I didn't see Arnie either. This is looking so, so promising. My biggest fear is that there add in too much action, but so far the scripting look's to be top notch. Young Kyle Reese looks excellent. Also, Sam Worthington (the man, as I'll just call him ) is somebody for the future. He's also staring in the next big James Cameron film. Big future for him.
Dan_Dare Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I refuse to watch it. I don't see why you'd spoil it for yourself. trailers are bad enough. in other news: Star Trek got 5 stars in the guardian from Bradshaw. Practically unheard of- the guy seems to have a default star ceiling of 2 for any film with the ardor to have a big cgi budget. I think he liked Cloverfield though, going back a bit.
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I refuse to watch it. I don't see why you'd spoil it for yourself. trailers are bad enough. I need my Terminator fix. Although, you are right, this trailer basically shows you the plot for the film...or at least for me anyway. A lot of this footage is stuff that has existed in earlier trailers, so you're best off not looking at any if you want to stay pure.
