Friday 27th February 2004: Deadpool Update:
Stax at Filmforce has been in touch with the following "In a roundtable interview that took place earlier this week, writer-director David Goyer confirmed IGN FilmForce's reports that a film adaptation of the Marvel anti-hero Deadpool is in the works and that he might be involved. IGN FilmForce's Jeff Otto was in attendence; watch for detailed articles from Jeff in the coming days.

IGN FilmForce recently revealed that New Line Cinema is trying to broker a deal to bring Deadpool to the big-screen with Goyer directing and co-writing the script with comic book scribe Mark Millar. Goyer's Blade: Trinity cast member Ryan Reynolds would portray the title character.

"I want to do something else with Ryan Reynolds because I really loved working with him and New Line wants to do something else with Ryan Reynolds and Marvel wants to do something with Ryan because there aren't a lot of actors anymore that can do credible action and be funny and that are also good actors," Goyer told reporters.

"Ryan, I think, coming out of this movie and I know it's a lot to say will sort of be like where Mel Gibson was coming off of Lethal Weapon," the Blade and Batman screenwriter said. "He can do it all. He never thought he could do action, ever. And he was in here last week with his girlfriend and I showed him some cut-together action stuff and said, 'Can you believe that's you?' And he said, 'No, I cannot!' So, Deadpool came up as a possibility. We would completely reinvent it. We can't connect it to Weapon X or anything like that. We'll see."

Goyer also revealed that Mark Millar has "done no writing on (Deadpool." As IGN FilmForce has reported, deals are still being negotiated for Millar, Goyer, and Reynolds so Deadpool is not etched in stone just yet.

Millar, however, has denied being involved with Deadpool.

"Mark is a friend of mine and wants to get into screenwriting and we've talked about working on something together and Marvel's talked about having Mark do something. When they first started working on Iron Man, I made the executives in charge of Iron Man read The Ultimates because I thought that take on Tony Stark was a very cool take," Goyer explained.

"The people at New Line know Mark because of that and it's somewhat influenced their approach to Iron Man. They weren't ready to let Mark write the script, but I'd like to do something with Mark."

Stax at Filmforce has been in touch with the following info on Deadpool "Forget Mark Millar's denial and those sites that told you the Deadpool news IGN FilmForce first reported was untrue. Sources close to the deal have now confirmed that New Line Cinema is actively considering and talking to Marvel Studios about a Deadpool feature with Ryan Reynolds to star, Marvel to produce, David Goyer to direct and probably best of all for comics fans Goyer and Mark Millar writing together. Although Reynolds is perhaps best known for his comedic turns in The In-Laws and Van Wilder, his work in Blade: Trinity has apparently earned him high marks from both Goyer and New Line."

My name is Victoria, and I am a massive Deadpool fan, so I try to stay up with gossip about the film. I have heard rumours from some very dependable sources that Bruce Campbell and Henry Rollins are both being considered for the part of the Merc-with-the-mouth.
