October 16, 2010 - Deadpool / script review
Scooped on Saturday, October 16, 2010
The first review of the Reese/Wernick draft of Deadpool has been published online by Cinema Blend, and it paints a great picture of a fun and suitably dark superhero action movie. The site's Josh Tyler loves what the writers have done. Check this out:
"The thing is, it’ll only work with Ryan Reynolds. The character of Deadpool is written in his voice, his style, and when you read it, it’s impossible not to hear him talking in your head," states Tyler. "It’d never work with anyone else but if Reynolds really steps up and takes on the role, it could be the defining moment of his career. Deadpool could become a pop culture icon; he could be Ryan’s Captain Jack Sparrow. He’s that good."
Reese and Wernick find an original and humorous way to explain the inconsistencies with the way Deadpool was presented in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, keep the anti-hero's crazy antics and scarred face and make it an entertaining ride. And there's a great part for Colossus, the X-Men's super-strong steel skinned hero, to play the straight man opposite Deadpool.
"What I’m getting at here is that this is a killer script and more than that, it’s a well-thought out story, which fills in every plot hole and solves every problem that could have been encountered with the character," sums up Tyler. "I can’t imagine anyone doing this any better, and it’s a movie which deserves to be made the right way by the right people."
