Some DEADPOOL<\/a> test footage from SFX-wiz\/director Tim Miller<\/strong> recently “leaked” online by a mysterious assailant. The clip, rendered with CGI characters, shows a motion-captured Ryan Reynolds<\/strong> as the titular character. Looking straight from the comic books, Reynolds sounds exactly as he should thanks to his natural comedic demeanor.<\/p>\n

The original 8-minute reel of footage was presented to 20th Century Fox by Miller and producer Lauren Shuler Donner in 2012 in hopes of greenlighting the picture. Unfortunately it didn’t work out at the time, but online reviews from the bit of leaked footage are extremely<\/em> positive.<\/p>\n

Since its early development in 2009 when Reynolds appeared in X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE<\/a>, Fox has been nervous about greenlighting this solo project due to its “nearly NC-17” screenplay by “Zombieland” writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. “It\u2019s so, so far into the R-rated zone,” said Reynolds last year<\/a>. “It\u2019s a nearly NC-17 world and I just don\u2019t know if the studio would ever risk their reputation doing it.<\/p>\n

But it could be made on the cheap, says<\/a> the actor: \u201c[In] its current iteration the movie\u2019s actually very small. There\u2019s minimal impact to the studio, which is the way we\u2019re kind of presenting it to them. We\u2019re saying \u2018Look, the budget is minimal. Therefore, can we do this the way it should be done?\u2019 Which unfortunately needs a Rated R or it needs those elements.\u201d

\nI’m not allowed to post the footage as Fox has asked for its removal. This might actually be a good sign…<\/em><\/p>\n

Now you see why I have never faltered in my support for Ryan, he is perfect. #deadpool<\/a><\/p>\n
