Bleeding Cool<\/a> reports (via the Arizona Comic Con) that Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld<\/strong> has seen R-rated test footage from the developing X-Men spin-off, DEADPOOL. The developing film, which will follow Marvel’s own “merc with a mouth,” is being made by by producer Lauren Shuler Donner, director Tim Miller, “Zombieland” writers Rhett Reese and Paul Miller and actor Ryan Reynolds.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019ve got a great director on the movie, they\u2019ve got a great script.” said Liefeld. “I may or may have not seen some sort of test of footage that would blow your mind if you saw it and go holy crap and that\u2019s Deadpool in costume. Katana swords, guns, shooting people\u2019s faces off and making me laugh. And I may or may not have seen something that looks just like that. And you\u2019ve got what would amount to the first R Rated X-Men movie. Because that script is R Rated.”<\/p>\n

“They may or may not have wanted to shoot eight minutes to see how it would play.” he continued. “And all I can tell you, it\u2019s close. It\u2019s closer that it\u2019s even been to going, or going Naaah, that\u2019s too scary a proposition to make a R Rated Deadpool movie.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Last September, Shuler Donner said<\/a> \u201cIn the next couple of months we\u2019ll be presenting some things to the studio. Deadpool is going to be way different from any of the other X-Men movies. It\u2019s very crazy, more R-rated.\u201d<\/p>\n
