DEADPOOL Shoot To Close Vancouver Bridge For Sword/Gunfights And Car Chase Scenes

It seems we might catch some sword and gunfire action on the Deadpool set starting this weekend as the R-rated Marvel adaptation will be closing a bridge in Vancouver. Details after the jump!

Despite having a budget smaller than catering on most X-Men movies, as Ryan Reynolds joked very recently, Deadpool will soon be closing a major highway in Vancouver, Canada, where filming is primarily taking place. According to a filming notice given to locals, the Fox/Marvel production will be restricting the use of the Georgia Street Viaduct from Sunday, April 5, to Thursday, April 16. "The scene involves our hero in a car chase, with stunt fight action on the bridge deck," notes the letter. Also, due to the use of theatrical smoke, lights to simulate a fire, exposed guns and swords, as well as simulated gunfire, the Vancouver Police Department will be on duty during the shoot.

We've already seen Ryan Reynolds and a few other Deadpool cast members on the Vancouver set this past week, so perhaps we'll finally get some action from the production over the weekend and throughout next week when it shuts down the Georgia Street Viaduct. What do you think?

For all the Deadpool fans out there. A few weeks of filming a block a way from our apartment in #beautiful #vancouver @vancitybuzz #explorebc #roadclosure

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Directed by Tim Miller, while starring Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), T.J. Miller (Weasel), with Ed Skrein, and Brianna Hildebrand (Ellie Phimister), the much-hyped Deadpool is scheduled to open in theaters on February 12, 2016.

Awesome, it's been a while since I've seen a sword in comic book movies other than in like Guardians of the Galaxy or the Thor movies.

Invictor - 4/3/2015, 4:53 AM

Or in The Wolverine, but I'm counting these fights are going to have great choreography, especially due to Tim's background as a creative director and whatnot.

DrKinsolving - 4/3/2015, 4:57 AM

Nice!! Colossus!!

Can't wait for this, I wanted to try and avoid spoilers but it'll be impossible for this movie

Invictor - 4/3/2015, 4:57 AM

It'd also be great to see something in similarity with this:

TheRealSupaMan - 4/3/2015, 5:00 AM

Man I cannot wait to see this when it's finished! So glad they went back with Ryan and chose the costume....which looks perfect!

GiantNerd - 4/3/2015, 5:05 AM

I can't believe FOX is actually giving us an exact Deadpool. I have a new respect for them.

RangerStorm44 - 4/3/2015, 5:06 AM

this is going to be the best 9 months ever

TheBritAvenger - 4/3/2015, 5:13 AM

Having read the leaked script, this is probably the scene that culminates in Deadpool fighting Colossus. The script is really good by the way, check it out:

I wish Fox and the MCU would get along so we could get Hawkeye vs Deadpool. That was the most fun I have had reading a Marvel Now! comic.

dapug88 - 4/3/2015, 5:22 AM

With fox giving the green light for an R rated movie, there giving the production all the tools necessary to make this film as successful as it can be. I love it! Can't wait for this movie. Who would've thought Deadpool would kick off the best year in comic book movie history! This is awesome

Fox, listen to the fans:

Viaduct, not a bridge.

sickboy76 - 4/3/2015, 5:35 AM

Such a shame morena baccarin has already been cast as copycat, would've made a great domino.

grif - 4/3/2015, 5:56 AM

sounds awesome

ThedamnBatman - 4/3/2015, 5:57 AM

A bit unrelated but just finished watching Batman vs Robin, and I gotta say I loved it!

blackandyellow - 4/3/2015, 5:57 AM

A viaduct is a bridge ...

CapedBaldy - 4/3/2015, 6:08 AM

@AXE
its pretty gud,better than "Throne of Atlantis".

CapedBaldy - 4/3/2015, 6:12 AM

Only problem i had with it was Robin was too overpowered.

TheBritAvenger - 4/3/2015, 6:29 AM

@AXE- Oh, damn. I'm sorry. I thought you said you were watching Batman & Robin, not Batman vs Robin. My bad. Sorry.

Junito - 4/3/2015, 6:30 AM

I'll reserve my judgment until the final product is complete. He, Reynolds, already killed one DC superhero, so is only fitting he kills a Marvel one a la R.I.P.D. Hopefully, this will turn out to be a decent interpretation of the character.

slickrickdesigns - 4/3/2015, 6:37 AM

Deadpool sex scene confirmed! maybe…

TheBritAvenger - 4/3/2015, 6:44 AM

@0megaDaGr0dd- He's basically sent to try and recruit Deadpool into the X-Men. He later helps Wade in his assault on Ajax's base and fights one of his super-mercenary lackeys.

fortycals - 4/3/2015, 6:48 AM

@omegadagrodd
Classic team up formula, mixed with a little recruiter.

ThedamnBatman - 4/3/2015, 7:12 AM

@TheBritAvenger

No worries my man, a lot of people will make that mistake while discussing this movie I'm sure

@dukenukem777

Definitely way better then throne of atlantis. I think this one had a real story and care, and damn, definitelly pushing the PG-13 they showed quite a bit of stuff I didn't excpect. I think it's their best effort considering their New 52 line of movies. Agreed on Robin, I mean yeah he is trained by the best but he's still 10 years old lol. I really liked this one, and hope they can continue the momentum, oh and the music was great, escpecially at the end, had that Dark Knight feel. Definitelly buying this for my collection

QuietStorm - 4/3/2015, 7:12 AM

CANT. WAIT.

Darkjedi41 - 4/3/2015, 7:16 AM

@axe I thought that came out the 21st?

ThedamnBatman - 4/3/2015, 7:22 AM

@Darkjedi41
It comes out on the 14th on DVD and Blu-Ray but the digital version is available

soberchimera - 4/3/2015, 7:27 AM

Does anyone know the exact budget?

slickrickdesigns - 4/3/2015, 7:50 AM

They should've made a kickstarter account for the movie like super troopers 2 and got a bigger budget.
But looking good anyway.

irondragon - 4/3/2015, 8:04 AM

@blackandyellow......lmao

Stonewall - 4/3/2015, 8:39 AM

Eff yeah! i will be on the roof of the Georgian Court Hotel with a telephoto lens! i just hope they dont shut down the fatburger around the corner that day. That is a damn good burger. @omega pm me your email and ill send u the script

MarkyMarkRises - 4/3/2015, 8:39 AM
