FILM 1471: DEADPOOL
TRIVIA: A 3 minute test reel was
shot in January 2012 in an attempt to convince the heads of the studio to move
forward with the movie. On August 1st 2014, the footage was released to the
public, and based on the overwhelmingly positive response from fans, the film
finally began production. The footage was so popular that part of it was
recreated for the actual film.
Ryan Reynolds has said
that Deadpool will be the last comic book character he will ever portray.
However, he is open to Deadpool sequels and/or cameos.
In the trailer and in the film,
Wade Wilson requests, "Don't make the super suit green- or animated!"
This is a reference to Ryan Reynolds'
previous role as the DC superhero Green Lantern
(2011) in which, as stated, the green suit was a special effect rather than an
actual costume for Reynolds to put on. This is also a crude reference to that
film's director Martin
Campbell whom he didnt get on with.
In an interview, writer Rhett Reese
stated that Negasonic Teenage Warhead wasn't always intended to be in the film.
Other X-men such as Cannonball were considered, but they eventually used
Negasonic Teenage Warhead because they "liked her name better".
Throughout the film Deadpool
accuses the studio of not having enough money to pay for several elements in
the movie. In fact, Fox Studios cut seven million dollars out of the film's
budget at the last minute, necessitating several rewrites. Items cut from the
film included a motorcycle chase between Wade and Francis, the addition of more
named villains, and several action sequences. In the latter instance, the
fights were scaled down by having Deadpool forget to bring his ammo and gun
bags.
