Rumored Details On Why Deadpool 2 Lost Its Director

 

 

The Wrap is now reporting that there may have been some more truth to the differences in style than originally thought.

 

According to their sources, Miller wanted to make a very different movie from the vision of Reynolds and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. While the trio wanted to make a film with a slightly lower budget, focusing on the gritty tone and vulgar humor, Tim Miller wanted to take the film to a broader audience.

 

Miller wanted to triple the budget of the first Deadpool film, which was $58 million, and focus on a sleeker style. In his vision, the sequel would adopt a format more like the other big-budget super hero films.

 

The two sides couldn't meet in the middle on this issue, and it was Miller who ended up getting the boot. Fox wasn't about to lose Reynolds, who is the biggest driving force behind the film's success, and they knew that fans wanted to keep Deadpool true to his edgy roots.

 

That goes counter to what they announced about a sequel early on. Including the writers, who made it clear they felt the film would be better off maintaining a lower budget than is traditional for these superhero movies.

 

Looks like Miller had a change of heart from the established plan.

we will probably never know the truth, but the change probably isn't significant enough to the general viewing public to keep fans away.

I agree. But some of the behind-the-scenes is sounding like there was definitely a creative difference in sequel approach.

 

Inside the ‘Deadpool 2’ Fight Over ‘Two Totally Different Movies’ (Exclusive)

 

Miller, known more for his visual flair than for the brash antics that Reynolds and his writers embraced and that fans loved, wanted a more stylish take, one that would compete with mega-budget superhero movies, insiders said. But it would have cost three times as much as the original $58 million film, the first individual said.

 

“There were two totally different movies on the table, and one of them just wasn’t ‘Deadpool,” said the first insider, who is familiar with both concepts.

 

Reynolds, Reese and Wernick’s vision won.

 

One person said Gianopulos had been a “peacekeeper” between director and star during the production on the first film. He handed the reigns to Stacey Snider on Sept. 1, who has had input on a situation largely handled by 20th Century Fox President of Production Emma Watts.

 

Another party close to Fox said executives did not have to step in to manage relationships until well after the first film’s release.

 

Miller pivoted immediately to another priority Fox project, an adaptation of Daniel Suarez’s cyber-crime thriller “Influx.”

If this truly is the case, then I'm quite glad that Miller walked.

If, totally. This is what I hate about Hollywood. They take something and then totally ruin it trying to please what they think people want to see.

 

People DON'T know what they want to see. They know what they like when they see it. A lot of people didn't like Deadpool. So what? Those that did will watch another movie....and another, and another and another....

Deadpool 2 Working Title Revealed

 

The working title for Deadpool 2 has been revealed in a new production note. The film, currently looking for a new director and finalizing main castmembers, will be known as "Love Machine" while in production. The name is likely a joke about newcomer character Cable, who has cybernetic parts including an arm and eye that give him an array of additional abilities beyond his mutant powers.

 

Deadpool 2 isn't exactly feeling the love in the last week, though, as director Tim Miller, who helmed the first film and had a large hand in it even being made with his Blur Studio sample reel, left the movie, reportedly over creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds. Later reports revealed the two couldn't come to terms on casting Cable, Deadpool's mutant pal in the comics who time-travels his way into the X-Men movie universe in the sequel, as well as arguing about the tone of the film. Miller wanted it to be more bombastic than the first, and Reynolds wants a stronger focus on the whit and humor of the first (hopefully he and the new director come to a nice balance).

So, if some of those rumors are to be believed -- that Reynolds doesn't want Kyle Chandler as Cable -- I'm wondering who he does want or who we may see in the role.

 

I love Chandler -- he would bring necessary gravitas to the role that someone like Jon Hamm would not -- and his casting would be against type.

More names coming out.

 

Deadpool 2: More Names Emerge In Director Search

 

Now that there's a sudden vacancy, the studio is casting a wide net for the job, and there are several emerging names up for the position. Those names include David Leitch in the lead position (via Deadline), but Drew Goddard and Magnus Martens have also popped up in discussions.

 

Leitch is most known for his work with Chad Stahelski on the original John Wick starring Keanu Reeves. The film became a surprise hit for Lionsgate and will be getting a sequel next year.

 

As for Goddard, his most recent work includes writing and executive producing the Oscar Nominated The Martian starring Matt Damon, which he also scored a nomination for best-adapted screenplay. He also executive produced 10 Cloverfield Lane, Daredevil, Lost, and the upcoming The Defenders for Netflix.

 

Magnus Martens has worked mostly in television, but his directorial credits include Agents of SHIELD, Power, 12 Monkeys, and the excellently reviewed Luke Cage.

DEADPOOL 2: Why Junkie XL Leaving Has Us Worried

 

After teasing fans with the introduction of big X-Men characters like Cable and Domino, Deadpool 2 hit us with a bomb blast when word came down that the director of the first film, Tim Miller, was leaving the sequel. Word continued to leak out that Miller and franchise star Ryan Reynolds had gotten into a serious clash about the creative direction of the sequel, and that the studio ultimately gave higher authority to Reynolds, causing Miller to walk. Today, we got word that superstar soundman Junkie XL, who provided the awesome score for Deadpool, is also walking from Deadpool 2, out of solidarity for Miller leaving. Some might look at this and just see creative changes in store for Deadpool 2, but this second departure has us officially worried.

 

1) Tim Miller's awesome short film idea manifesting into the most successful R-rated superhero film of all time.

 

2) Ryan Reynolds' comedic hijinks, which definitely helped make Deadpool a successful brand and live-action character - but also have been responsible many, many, many, bad movies.

 

With talent like Junkie XL seeming to indicate that the "magic" is gone without Tim Miller involved in Deadpool 2, it's an awful lot of trust to put on Reynolds and his comedic sensibilities to carry us through. It's an even bigger trust when you consider that fan-favorite characters like Cable and Domino could have their cinematic reputations resting on Reynolds, as well. And without Junkie XL's talent, it's hard to see how we'll even get a soundtrack as awesome as we did with the first film.

I'll be officially worried after I see the movie and only if I don't like it. Until then...noise.

I have faith - I think Deadpool 2 will be vastly different, but with characters like Cable, it was always going to be. I think we'll enjoy it for different reasons than the first.

Tim Miller can easily be replaced, so can Junkie XL. There's a lot more good composers than there are good directors.

 

I'll jump ship when the writers do.

Deadpool 2 To Reportedly Start Filming Early Next Year

 

Here it is: we’ve got some good news about the much-anticipated sequel to Deadpool. Over the past few weeks, fans have been inundated with less-than-stellar updates on the raunchy franchise. First, director Tim Miller announced he had departed the project. Then, Junkie XL confirmed he would no longer be scoring the film. However, today’s latest Deadpool buzz is something moviegoers should get pumped about. It looks like Deadpool 2 is reportedly slated to begin filming early next year.

 

The news come courtesy of What’s Filming, a site which tells readers which projects are shooting in Vancouver. The site’s schedule has been updated and shows that Deadpool 2 is expected to start shooting in January 2017.

 

Unless the date is delayed, the early shooting means that 20th Century Fox must feel confident moving forward with production despite recent setbacks. At this moment, Deadpool 2 still lacks a director, but the film’s reported start date has fans thinking the studio is close to picking a replacement for Miller.

Deadpool 2 Will NOT Start Filming Early Next Year

 

Deadpool 2 has lost two key crew members recently, so fans were surprised to hear reports that the film was still slated to begin production early next year.

 

Now, we’ve learned that chatter is reportedly false.

 

According to Collider, recent reports about Deadpool 2 filming in January 2017 are not true. Sources have told the site the January date is way off as Deadpool 2 was originally meant to begin production in March 2017 when director Tim Miller was involved. However, Miller has exited the project, so there is no way even the March 2017 date will stand any longer.

 

When Miller left Deadpool 2, the folks behind the film had only started casting for Ryan Reynold’s co-stars. Several actresses were being eyed to play Domino, so that process will also be delayed. The film’s new director will surely want to have say in which star takes on the the former mercenary turned X-Men member.

Fox Already Planning Deadpool 3 With X-Force Included

 

It's easy to understand then why FOX greenlit a sequel so quickly, and for awhile there it was all sunshine and rainbows, until it wasn't. Recently director Tim Miller walked off the project citing creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds. That massive shakeup hasn't dimmed the studio's hopes for the project, however, and they've attempted to fill the spot quickly. They are in current negotiations with David Leitch (John Wick) to fill the director's chair, but even more surprising is that according to THR sources, FOX has already started work on Deadpool 3. Those sources say that FOX has a great deal of faith in Reynolds and Deadpool, and will start their director search for it soon. The film is rumored to involve another popular group in the X-Men mythos, X-Force.

 

As to why all the shakeup on Deadpool, reports say Miller wanted to maintain the balance of raunchy comedy and narrative from the first film but also wanted to significantly increase the budget to rival other films in the genre. Reynolds was more interested in keeping the same guerilla feel from the first film in regards to budget and wanted more comedy elements inserted in the -script. The two could not find a common platform, and finally parted ways.
