Anyone know the status on it? Didn't it get cancelled and lose the R18+ rating? :/

 

According to the people who worked on the test footage, everyone involved is ready and willing to make it, from the director to Ryan Reynolds to the producers involved. They're really just waiting for the greenlight from the studios.

Also, according to the guy who directed the footage seen there, the suit is entirely CGI and this footage is based on Mo-Cap done by Reynolds. So if they do the whole movie it'd be an entirely CGI suit which would be cool but I feel takes away from the "authenticness" of the costuming.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking love Deadpool and all the variations of his comics, but if they go with a CGI suit I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

 

I find it strange that someone went up to Reynolds and said full cgi mo cap super hero suit and he didn't run out of the room crying.

 

I think it was filmed before Green Lantern, though I could be wrong. Mind you, this is test footage, so it's more about selling the idea to the studios, and less about making it look as authentic as they can. I hear the director's only done cgi work for trailers and whatnot, so there'd definitely be an emphasis on it.

I thought the suit looked okay, honestly. I'd love to see the movie actually be greenlit.

 

I'm usually ambivalent on Deadpool, but I thought this was good. I'm no expert on him, but at least there was none of that "le chimichangas XD" shit-tier Reddit humor that's been plaguing the character. Actually he sounded a lot like Jim Carrey.

 

Cable guy Jim Carey maybe.

 

Video in OP doesn't work. So I googled another link for you all.
