Via Twitter, creator Robert Liefeld shared some of his thoughts regarding Tim Miller, a director who will bring Deadpool to the big screen, in his own comic book adaptation.

"The Deadpool director, Tim Miller has an outstanding CGI/FX company, Blur Studios. Miller has all the instincts, tools and tech to pull off the most crazy aspects of Deadpool film. And Miller had to run the gauntlet, getting the blessing of writers Reese and Wernick, as well as Ryan Reynolds AND the studio. The Deadpool script calls for some CRAZY visual sequences - needed a director with extensive FX mojo. Looking forward 2 Tim Miller's direction.

Trust me, having read the script a thousand times, I had legitimate concerns over directors being able to handle the requirements of DP. I believe the DP film scared the crap out of some prospective directors. As a matter of fact I know some of them were intimidated. Seriously the action and direction imagined by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick is crazy complicated. Think the best of Kill Bill, Matrix, Woo.."


With Ryan Reynolds still attached, Deadpool is probably going to start production this year.

Who on earth is Tim Miller?
Ven0m - 4/12/2011, 10:01 AM
[frick] Fox!
They better do this movie right.
TheLight - 4/12/2011, 10:01 AM
It's not wise to give Ryan Renolds all of this power.
DrRockit13 - 4/12/2011, 10:01 AM
this is some of the most positive news iv heard for the merc with a mouth in a long time. if every one was afraid of this script and this guy was stoked about it. i have faith
DrRockit13 - 4/12/2011, 10:02 AM
why not he's a fan of the actual character of deadpool not the one he played in origins
number10 - 4/12/2011, 10:04 AM
oh [frick] yeah keep this script!
CorndogBurglar - 4/12/2011, 10:04 AM
Rob Liefeld is the sorriest excuse for a comicbook "artist" to ever live. Maybe i'll care what he says when he learns how to draw hands and feet.
albieg25 - 4/12/2011, 10:07 AM
What the HELL is so cool about Deadpool???
MrJ - 4/12/2011, 10:11 AM
Deadpool is funny as HELL!!
They don't call him the merc with a mouth for nothing.
And Ryan Reynolds is the best man for the job of portraying him.
sexfoodcomics - 4/12/2011, 10:11 AM
Blur does some amazing work. The dawn of war fame intro w amazing. But that doesn't mean the guycna direct real actors and be in charge of a live action production crew. Look what happened with starship trooper. Phil tippet one of the most amazing animators and vfx guys in the world directed starship trooper 2. And it was one of the worst movies ever made.
oneill5299 - 4/12/2011, 10:16 AM
I have read the script and it is amazing. So if they can keep the executives hand's off of it then, this movie will become a new vision of how CBM's can be translated to film. Think it has the potential to be one of the best action comedies ever, let alone CBM's.
StrangerX - 4/12/2011, 10:21 AM
Ryan Reynolds or Dane Cook are great for the job.
jpmuftak - 4/12/2011, 10:23 AM
Tim Miller is the owner and creative director of BLUR STUDIO. Known as "The Pixar of Videogames"
He was responsible for directing the DC UNIVERSE ONLINE, STAR WARS The Force Unleashed, and The Old Republic amazing videos cutscenes...

This is great news!



Dedpool - 4/12/2011, 10:35 AM
Well I have some seriously high hopes for this movie. Script has gotten nothing but praise, and this guy may be able to pull it off. He's basically been doing game trailers and such, but even those have to get hte basic story, characters and action across. Reynolds has been the strongest supporter for this film o i say let him run with it, however if he can't do it, lets get Sean William Scott in the role. I'm sure he'd do it justice too. He was able to pull his insaity back a bit for "Bulletproof Monk" and "The Rundown."
1Rocketeer - 4/12/2011, 10:40 AM
finally some good news.
JerzyXL201 - 4/12/2011, 10:44 AM
Am I the only moron who hasn't read the script? FML
revloveR - 4/12/2011, 10:46 AM

Liefeld, the greatest comic book artist of our time.
RedeyeJedi - 4/12/2011, 10:49 AM
If this movie is done the right way, it could be one of the best action movies ever. Deadpool has all the right ingredients.
marvel72 - 4/12/2011, 10:49 AM
@ jpmuftak

i didn't relize he directed all of them.
Enterlion - 4/12/2011, 10:54 AM
The guy obviously knows how to pull off crazy action scenes, and the way he throws it all together visually, its amazing. I for one am excited to see this movie. As long as it maintains an R rating. Pg 13 will kill it. I don't see the harm in throwing together a Knights style film in the studios. Make this movie for adults. I mean, i can see the obvious drawbacks to making R films, the money lost because you can't get that teen crowd in without their parents, but still, its Deadpool... He is a homicidal manic who laughs and has the hots for A Golden Girl...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sephiroth - 4/12/2011, 11:16 AM
i have read the script and its AMAZING. if they can really pull that script off it will be a treat. i am so excited that the movie is being made (even if its by fox) and if ryan reynolds plays deadpool (i NEED an official announcement) that would jus be icing on the cake.
akidnamedcesar - 4/12/2011, 11:22 AM
[frick]!! just read the first two pages of the script....AMAZING!
JosePetrelli12 - 4/12/2011, 11:26 AM
Hellz yeah!!!!!
SpideyGoodies - 4/12/2011, 11:27 AM
I'm fine with everyone attached to this project except for FOX. With a rookie in the director's chair, FOX will do what ever they want. I'm worried about another Wolverine or X3. It seems like the main reason Aronofsky left The Wolverine was due to not being able to have complete control over the project as opposed to the PR statements he provided. Reynolds is great for the character. Reese and Wernick spit out a great script. A director coming from a visual effects background can make something great. Look at James Cameron.
Forilaz - 4/12/2011, 11:49 AM
I think we all need an interview with Tim Miller right now.

That way we can see if he's up to it, if he knows and loves Deadpool, what he thinks he can bring to the table, when shooting can actually start, thoughts on release date, etc.

Honestly don't know what's taking so long for the media to reach him.
gman3025 - 4/12/2011, 11:55 AM
Does anyone know where the cartoon version of Deadpool in the picture is from? It looks like an Anime version but I could be wrong.
akidnamedcesar - 4/12/2011, 11:57 AM
[frick]!! just read the first two pages of the script....AMAZING!
Jer3miah - 4/12/2011, 12:08 PM
FX alone won'r save this movie from abomination. If that's all they have to say about this Miller guy, then FAIL. Creative directing is needed to cinematically move the story along smoothly. FX won't make a miracle happen. I've yet to be sold.

Forilaz - 4/12/2011, 12:36 PM
It's easily one of the best CBM scripts.

What Tim Miller needs to do is stick 100% to it, give the crispiest visuals he can craft, keep the R rating, Ryan Reynolds in the role and FOX not intervening.

Too many "if"s. If the above happens however, a true marvel is to be seen. Fox and the R rating are the hardest ones but I truly hope for the best.
Bandrews1 - 4/12/2011, 12:40 PM
I seriously want this movie to be done.
KidZombie - 4/12/2011, 12:54 PM
This guy is known for his amazing fx for a small budget, I can see why they are moving this project forword quickly and for as cheap as possible. I hate Fox, but still have some hope for this. FOX will most likely step in stir the pot and make an amazing script a peice of shit movie

@Forilaz "It's easily one of the best CBM scripts."

Have you read it?
DBeck - 4/12/2011, 1:05 PM
@jpmuftak That interview with Miller really gets me more excited about him as a director. Deadpool is top five favorite characters, and I REALLY hope this movie is done right.
evil40 - 4/12/2011, 3:08 PM
HA HA....he said "DP" films.....lol
thwip - 4/12/2011, 4:33 PM
can someone email me the script, please??

drw46@pitt.edu

much obliged!
ABLEE337 - 4/12/2011, 5:52 PM
You can download the script from:

Click on the download file now button in the center of the page at the top of the orange square. I just googled it, I did not upload it.
JackDexx - 4/12/2011, 6:28 PM
qualification to be a good deadpool movie
1. the suit
2. the voice. rerecord over the actor i don't care if they're isn't that cool sarcastic tone it won't be deadpool
3. dark and gritty
4. break the 4th wall shit tons
5. use some of his classic jokes we all know and love "common sense," i love that one
6. other cool marvel characters
p.s. i made the 4th wall the 4th qualification, i didn't notice it myself untill i reread this.
SuspenseSmith - 4/12/2011, 11:07 PM
Finally. A video game cutscene director doing a movie. A lot of those cutscenes are better than some major blockbusters in quality.
BladeKnight - 4/13/2011, 1:43 AM
I like this info. Can't wait for a Deadpool film.
fullmetal - 4/13/2011, 12:29 PM
no we need ryan to fully commit!!!!!! forget gl 2!!
TheDorkKnight - 5/12/2011, 9:27 PM
@WellDrawn if Liefeld is the greatest comic book artist of our time, your standards are pretty off, man. Liefeld is OK at best. There's a shit load of way better artists than Liefeld. The only credit he deserves is being the FIRST (not the best) to draw Deadpool. Even Joe Madureira's artwork shits on Liefeld's and he was just starting his career at Marvel when he did the Circle Chase. If Madureira were to draw 'Pool now... that shit would be epic.
Jericho - 5/16/2011, 8:08 AM
can wait for this movie it is jizz in my pants good :P definately need it!
Jericho - 5/16/2011, 8:08 AM
can't*
zaiachi - 5/29/2011, 10:51 PM
Well, if Robert Liefeld says that Tim Miller can be trusted with it, and if he said that the script is awesome...I dont have any qualms about it. I'll just patiently wait for 2014...darn it...two more years to go...=_=
