Saw this yesterday in IMAX. Pretty funny movie. After hearing that this shattered all box office records for Vday & Presiden't day I suspect this will be getting the proper steelbook treatment.


For those that haven't seen it yet remember to stay after the credits to see sneak peak of dead pool 2.

Lets all pray for FAC!

I just saw this movie and loved it!! All I can say is FAC!!!!!!

 

[IRON MAN]

Love what James Gunn had to say about it - posted on his FB account - , no spoilers

"The film has a self-deprecating tone that’s riotous. It’s never been done before. It’s poking fun at Marvel. That label takes itself so seriously, can you imagine them making fun of themselves in a movie? They’d rather stab themselves."

That's a quote from Deadline Hollywood, attributing it to a Hollywood "suit." I love Deadline and get a lot of my film business news from them. And I love Deadpool even more - the film is hilariously funny, has lots of heart, and is exactly what we need right now, taking true risks in spectacle film - but COME THE **** ON. That's no reason to rewrite history. This quote has to have been said by the dumbest ******* Hollywood exec in the history of dumb ******* Hollywood execs.

Let's ignore Guardians for a moment, a movie that survives from moment to moment building itself up and cutting itself down - God knows I'm biased about that one. But what do you think Favreau and Downey did in Iron Man? What the **** was Ant-Man??!

Come on, Deadline.

After every movie smashes records people here in Hollywood love to throw out the definitive reasons why the movie was a hit. I saw it happen with Guardians. It "wasn't afraid to be fun" or it "was colorful and funny" etc etc etc. And next thing I know I hear of a hundred film projects being set up "like Guardians," and I start seeing dozens of trailers exactly like the Guardians trailer with a big pop song and a bunch of quips. Ugh.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Deadpool wasn't that. Deadpool was its own thing. THAT'S what people are reacting to. It's original, it's damn good, it was made with love by the filmmakers, and it wasn't afraid to take risks.

For the theatrical experience to survive, spectacle films need to expand their definition of what they can be. They need to be unique and true voices of the filmmakers behind them. They can't just be copying what came before them.

So, over the next few months, if you pay attention to the trades, you'll see Hollywood misunderstanding the lesson they should be learning with Deadpool. They'll be green lighting films "like Deadpool" - but, by that, they won't mean "good and original" but "a raunchy superhero film" or "it breaks the fourth wall." They'll treat you like you're stupid, which is the one thing Deadpool didn't do.

But hopefully in the midst of all this there will be a studio or two that will take the right lesson from this - like Fox did with Guardians by green-lighting Deadpool - and say - "Boy, maybe we can give them something they don't already have."

And that's who is going to succeed.

Have a great day.

Brilliant.
Well happy he came out with that.

COUGH COUGH Suicide Squad COUGH COUGH

That's a film which should have done it like the comics, not trying to change crap for the sake it while toning it down to a PG-13 while giving off the illusion it's going to be for more mature audiences.

Hell even if Harley was in her Jester outfit and actually looked like the character, despite how stupid and outdated the costume may be today, I would have f****** loved it

I'm going to be honest. With your example fair enough with the music for the trailer (prefered the music in the first trailer) but I'm much prefering what it is, to what it could of been

 

[Robsonmonkey]

When something dosen't look like something it's supposed to be adapting then I'l always go for what could have been. SS looks so generic and the designs look awful.

Maybe they will make this one a collection.

@Apollon @harry @Mickle_89 @dan8885 @Hatori Deadpool FAC maybe i hope so!!!

 

[Hatori]

@luke98 Great news!!!

 

[adarkcorner]

I have a question: if something is a FAC release, does that mean that it will have WEA for the steelbook itself? Or WWA? Or does the collection consist of some of both?

 

[IRON MAN]

@adarkcorner Some have had exclusive artwork on the steelbook itself such as John Wick and others have used the already existing artwork in other countries/markets such as Ex Machina.

Thanks Apollon! The reason I asked is that I was considering cancelling my Zavvi Deadpool order since FA is going to release it, but I guess there's no way of knowing what art they will use for the steelbook itself. I really like the design of the Zavvi version, so I'm afraid to miss out on it if there's a chance that FA will go with their own art for their steelbook.

Wow, just wow I think @carllenc will have to move to a much bigger house

@adarkcorner I posted the following a few days ago in the "Sicario" FAC thread. As it goes some way to answer your question, I'll repost it here rather than go through it all again

It's all to do with which company is distributing the title in the Czech Republic. If you examine the artwork of the various titles in the FAC, a pattern clearly emerges.

The WWA releases are those from the big multinationals (Sony, Fox, Universal, Paramount, Warner), hence the use of identical artwork to that found elsewhere.

Conversely, the WEA releases are from other companies (Studio Canal, Lionsgate, etc), which don't directly distribute their own product in the Czech Republic but license it to local Czech companies for domestic release. Hence, the potential for exclusive artwork not found elsewhere, since it's the local Czech company that calls the shots not the big multinational.

As regards your second question.

Thanks Apollon! The reason I asked is that I was considering cancelling my Zavvi Deadpool order since FA is going to release it, but I guess there's no way of knowing what art they will use for the steelbook itself. I really like the design of the Zavvi version, so I'm afraid to miss out on it if there's a chance that FA will go with their own art for their steelbook.

"Deadpool" is a Fox release. It's highly likely, therefore, that the FAC edition will utilise the WWA.
