DEADPOOL not given the greenlight, just yet…

Director Tim Miller says that 20th Century Fox has yet to move forward on his DEADPOOL film. But with Mark Millar’s new job at 20th Century Fox Films as Marvel consultant, and with Tom Rothman stepping dow as cochair, that very-well might change things. Via Kickstarter, Miller said…

“We’ve turned in an amazing script and done some early tests and visual development that, I’m confident, would get the fans stoked. And Ryan still loves the project. So it’s really up to Fox as to whether or not the film happens. All I can do is hope, and beg periodically, that it be allowed to move ahead.”

The test footage presented to Fox was said to be highly violent. Reynolds previously said “[I would] absolutely [do it] if it comes together the way it should, which is rated R. Last year producer, Lauren Shuler Donner also agreed, saying “[it’s] going to be way different from any of the other X-Men movies. It’s very crazy, more R-rated.”
