You know after a while I honestly felt that this Deadpool movie would go through some transformations before entering production. I figured Reynolds woulda dropped out by now and moved on to his myriad of other projects. Well, a rumor making the rounds is that the film will indeed be made and Reynolds is sticking with the project!

The Geek Files report that Deadpool will indeed go into production at some point this year. While director Tim Miller has been attached to the project since last April, there’s been little news in regards to the official status of the spin-off – we were repeatedly assured that it was still happening, just not when exactly. Of course, it was only last week that artist Rob Liefeld revealed that he’d seen eight minutes of test footage for the R-Rated flick.
Really really surprised by this. I thought Wade Wilson had very little chance of climbing out of development hell, and I didn’t even bother to give Rob Liefeld enough credit to post his mentioning of seeing 8 minutes of test footage last week. I might have to take back some of my negative sentiments toward Liefeld if this turns out to be true. I can’t find any confirmation or anything official about this movie being scheduled to enter production so I’m slapping a big fat “Rumor” in the title and looking for grains of salt to chew. I just don’t trust that Liefeld guy for some reason. Why would they even show him footage, doesn’t he work for DC comics now?
