6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,000

Speaker 2: So Wolverine.

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: We're dropping episodes every single day leading up to the

11
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: release of Deadpool Wolverine, covering everything from both characters comics origins,

12
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: to the long history of their film adaptations.

13
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: In today's episode, it's another chunky omnibus. We're revisiting the

14
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: previous two Deadpool movies, from the decade long fight to

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: the Get Deadpool GREENLT to the abandoned plans for a sequel,

16
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: and the almost abandoned third movie, Deadpool and Wolverine.

17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Let's get into it.

18
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: In two thousand and five, Ryan Reynolds met with Perennial.

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: What a time mark.

20
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: He met and he met with Avia rad a perennial

21
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 3: real life character in these types of stories, who we

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: talk about a lot, the former chairman, CEO and founder

23
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: of Marvel Studios, and signed on to take the role

24
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: of Deadpool all the way back in two thousand and five.

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: Imagine that at the time Marvel was hoping to develop

26
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 3: the movie with Davides Goya.

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: We've had him on the show, Comic and Commision movie himself.

28
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: He'd worked on the Blade trilogy, Batman Begins, he's now

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: doing Foundation. You know, he's a very sensible cinematic fellow.

30
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: It's a good choice to go with. The rights to

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: put on the big screen at that time were owned

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: by New Line Cinema, who we know for all the

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: fantastic horror movies and cool stuff like that, but they

34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: never moved forwards with it, and eventually they sold the

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: rights to twentieth Century Fox in two thousand and five,

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: who had purchased the film rights to The X Men

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety three and Fantastic Four in nineteen ninety eight.

38
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: If you remember, that.

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: Was when Marvel was essentially insolvent going through bankruptcy, so

40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: they sold off a lot of their rights for a

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: very little amount of money, and we are still living

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: with the ramifications of that now.

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: Once twentieth Century Fox became involved.

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: The movie ended up hitting even more delays and eventually

45
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: ended up languishing in development.

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: Hell enter X.

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Men Origins Wolverine. Four years later, Reynolds joins the cast

48
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: of X Men Origins Wolverine as a version the introduction

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: of Wade Wilson the murc with a Mouth question mark.

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. There are rumors that Reynolds felt

51
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: pressure to take the role here or else risk losing

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: a character he really passionately wanted to play to some

53
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: other actor. The opening of the movie does feature a

54
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: wise cracking Wade Wilson talking about how much he loves

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: his katanas. He's trash talking all his fellow mercenaries in

56
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: the film, which I believe is the screenwriting debut of

57
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: David Bennioff of Game of Thrones fame. Since this took

58
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: place during the rite strike, much of Wade's dialogue was

59
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: just Reynolds improving.

60
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: The movie obviously shapes his kind of career with Deadpool

61
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: because he has been that voice since then totally.

62
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Now I mentioned the Mark with a Mouth, which is

63
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Deadpool's nickname. Once Wade acquires his healing factor powers in

64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: this film, he has his mouth. I don't know if

65
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: you would call it sown shut or really the skinny.

66
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: Stapled or something like that sealed up.

67
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: So he never gets to wisecrack at all, and he

68
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: doesn't wear his costume, even though he does become ostensibly

69
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: the final boss villain of this of this film. The

70
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: post credits scene of the movie led some to believe

71
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: that his inclusion was meant to lead to a spinoff.

72
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Does seem like that? Yeah, that never materialized. Meanwhile, Fox

73
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: continued to hold a deadpool in development limbo, and that

74
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: limbo became even more goopy and hard to escape after

75
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: Reynolds's turn as Hal Jordan in twenty eleven's Green Lantern

76
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: hit the sidewalk with a terrible and juicy.

77
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: Thud, super juicy thud. And also, let's be real, we're already.

78
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: In twenty and eleven here, so we're talking six years

79
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: off the Reynolds first had his beginning with old Avier Rod,

80
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: so uh yeah, time to make some fucking chimmy changas.

81
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 4: Let's talk about actual development.

82
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: After X Men Wolverine's successful opening, nobody talks about that.

83
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: Is that people love people. People love over read the

84
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: movie was bad, but people love.

85
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: Over read plans for a Deadpol solo Let me.

86
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: Just say one.

87
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: I want to say one thing about X Men Origins Wolverine.

88
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: I was super broke at the time that movie came out.

89
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: I really wanted to see the movie, but I had

90
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: no money, and so I did download a pirated cam

91
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: of the movie, which is how I saw X Men

92
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Origins Wolverine. That's how I saw that movie for a

93
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: illegally Turkish cam or something like that.

94
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 3: Probably how David Benioff exactly how he wants to watch it. Definitely,

95
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: So after the success of that movie, financial not critical,

96
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: I will say plans for though I will say I

97
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: watched that movie at least once a year.

98
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 4: It's very entertaining. Plans for a.

99
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: Deadpool solo movie were revisited in January twenty ten. Rhtt

100
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: Reese and Paul Wernick, who had worked on Zombie Land,

101
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: Very Good and gij Retaliation, were hired to work on

102
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: a spin off that would feature more comics accurate version

103
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: of the character. A version of the Ari script was leaked.

104
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 4: That is true.

105
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: It was a big deal, which the fan loves, and

106
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: the studios then brought on director Tim Miller in twenty eleven,

107
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: who had created some test footage with Reynolds. The studio

108
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: was unimpressed with it, and after the success of Avengers,

109
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: began exploring other options for dead Pool, including appearing in

110
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: ensemble movies. But then, lo and behold, three years later,

111
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: in one of the most auspicious leaks of all time,

112
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: we still want speaked it.

113
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: Who could have done this?

114
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: Who could have done this? Says a man in a

115
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: hot dog costume. The CGI clip was less than two

116
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: minutes long, but featured what eventually became the opening of

117
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: the twenty sixteen movie, including many of the same jokes

118
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: and musical cues, and it was essentially like a very

119
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: cool fight scene inside a car. He's chopping people's heads off,

120
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: he's being quippy.

121
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: You know. It's very Deadpool.

122
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: While the studio had initially been hesitant on the project,

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: the leaked footage received incredibly positive reaction, which Reynolds feels

124
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 3: is exclusively the reason that the movie got made. Fox

125
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: finally gives the go ahead for Deadpool movie to be

126
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: released in twenty sixteen, and years ago the studio had

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: very silly of them pushed for a PG thirteen version

128
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: of the character.

129
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: Since I get why our movies, particularly our movies that

130
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: are genre movies, they don't usually make money. It's very

131
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: uncommon for them for that to happen.

132
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: The Joker was the first rated movie to make a

133
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: billion dollars, you know, which in a superhero age you

134
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: would think was not the case.

135
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: PG thirteen. Also, you can get away with a fair amount.

136
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, in PG thirteen. We've seen some pretty scary PG

137
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 3: thirteen movies. But after the test footage, which was very

138
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: distinctly not PG thirteen twentieth Century Fox, that allowed the

139
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: creative team more leniency, partly thanks to having a much

140
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: smaller budget. Reynolds described the movie's fifty eight million dollar

141
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: budget as the cocaine budget for most superhero movies.

142
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: That's a lot of cocaine, right.

143
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean sixty sub sixty million dollars, even in what

144
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: was this twenty twenty, twenty ten, twenty tens. That's really

145
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: not a lot of money.

146
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 4: No, it's not a lot of money at all.

147
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: And he said the creative team felt less pressure from

148
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: the studio make the movie at the price the way

149
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: you want to make it. And as you know, the

150
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: cocaine budget for X ray vision.

151
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 4: Is extremely high.

152
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: It's so big, Me and Jason are always doing those

153
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: drugs and stuff, so you better listen to these ads

154
00:08:52,760 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: so we can afford the illegal substances.

155
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: And we're back from doing cocaine now. The smaller budget

156
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: naturally forced changes. Early drafts of the script featured Garrison

157
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: Kane aka Kane however you know his cybernetic arms and

158
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: don't we love a cybernetic arm? As a dead Pool

159
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: mentions in Deadpool too, don't we love a bionic arm?

160
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: That was too much for the CGI budget. Ajax was

161
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: originally meant to be working for doctor Emerus Kilbrew and

162
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: however they just basically had to simplify the story and

163
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: start reaching kind of deeper into the character bin for

164
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: cheaper to produce characters. There was pressure to include Cable

165
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: in the movie, seeing as Deadpool has you know, has

166
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: a long and storied association with Cable, but ultimately the

167
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: writers felt it was better to let Deadpool stand on

168
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: his own two scarred, gnarled feet and push Cable to

169
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: a later sequel. The movie opened Friday February twelve, Bound

170
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: Times Day Weekend twenty sixteen and was a massive, like

171
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: you can't overstate it massive massive success. More on this

172
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: in our quick hitting segment at the end of the episode.

173
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: But it was a huge success, going on to earn

174
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: some seven hundred and eighty two million dollars and change

175
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: at the box office, massive return for an rated film.

176
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: Post credit scene featured Deadpool doing his best first Bueller

177
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: impression and teasing the audience that he'd be back and

178
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: that the next movie would feature that's right, son of

179
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: Cyclops himself and Gene Cable Cable, our good friend Cable.

180
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: Two months after the release of Deadpool, it was confirmed

181
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: that the writer's recent Paul Wernick, director Tim Miller, and

182
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: star Ryan Reynolds would return for the sequel Listen you Get,

183
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: You get a crew that creates a hit movie, just

184
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: run it back. Reynolds signed a new contract giving him

185
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: more creative control, including a say in casting. In October

186
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen, director Tim Miller left the film amid

187
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: creative differences with Ryan Reynolds. Miller wanted to push for

188
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: the sequel to be more stylized, while Reynolds was more

189
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: focused on the R rated humor. I think we could

190
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: say that Reynolds, at this point, after over ten years

191
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: of development, road in his relationship with Deadpool. I think

192
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: he understands the tone of that character and how to

193
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: translate that to the feature.

194
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: Film, and he succeeded.

195
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Additionally, Miller was supposed toly wanted Kyle Chandler from Friday

196
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: Lights to play Cable, but Reynolds did not good casting.

197
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm interested, but a big enough star.

198
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: Name agreed in staid, we get a grimacing Josh Brolin

199
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: who's already fanos in the FCA.

200
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: He's just gone wild. But who cas But who cares?

201
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: And also at this time we're talking about two different companies,

202
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Fox and Marvel Studios. In the aftermath, Tim Miller shared

203
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: his ideas for The Sea, featuring a progression of Vanessa

204
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: storyline where she becomes the iconic, well the iconic in

205
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: terms of Dead Cole comic character Copycat, also Wade's girlfriend

206
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: in the comics. It also featured a fight between Juggernaut

207
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: and the Thing whoa the Thing in the film's third act.

208
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: A month after Miller left, director David Leach signed on

209
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: to direct the sequel. Reynolds, Rhyes Wernick split the scenes

210
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: into three parts, and each one wrote one part before

211
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: passing the round to the others. There was a strong

212
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: desire to include X Force in this and that influenced

213
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: the film's theme.

214
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

215
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: By twenty seventeen, the film was still looking to cast

216
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Deadpool's two major allies, Michael Shannon, David Harbor, Pierce brasn

217
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: and all were believed to be in consideration. Eventually was

218
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: announced that Zazi Beats was cast as Domino. This is

219
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and following a month, it was announced

220
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: that Josh Brolin had beat out the previously aforementioned middle

221
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: aged actors for the role as Cable, and it was

222
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: rumored that Fox hoped to use the introduction of Cable

223
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: and Domino to spin off an X Force movie. However,

224
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: this has never materialized.

225
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: Interesting Okay, so the filming was not without controversy. The

226
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: second movie began shooting in June twenty seventeen in Canada

227
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: under the working title Love Machine. On August fourteenth, so

228
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: soon after they began shooting, stunt woman Joy Harris died

229
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: in a motorcycle accident performing a stunt for the movie.

230
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: Joy had never done stunt work before and was not

231
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 3: wearing a helmet because she had joined production only a

232
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: week before and they had not had time to fit

233
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: a helmet under the Domino wig for the scene. Many

234
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: criticized the production for using Harris instead of a veteran

235
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: stunt performer, arguing her racing experience did not qualify her

236
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: as an able performer for the stunt. Productions shut down

237
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 3: for two days immediately after the incident, and reports came

238
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 3: out that the film's crew were exhausted and working incredibly

239
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: long days, with reports that some days had increased filming

240
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: to over fifteen hours a day.

241
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: So this is obviously terrible, and I think it's made

242
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: even more complicated by the fact that there was a

243
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: veteran stunt performer who had done these kinds of stunts,

244
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: ready and willing to do it. But part of the

245
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: reasoning for going with Joy was sazy beats is black.

246
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: The stunt performer, it's black, and unfortunately it has resulted

247
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: in this person passing. The stunt community was really critical

248
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: of this. The fifteen hour days thing is like, that's

249
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: every movie.

250
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: They do feel it.

251
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: Is, Well, that's what I was going to say.

252
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: That I think is really interesting is around the same

253
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: time as this, there was like a crash when people

254
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: were being taken home from the set of Riverdale or something,

255
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: and I think one of the drivers ended up being injured.

256
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: And I think that these long hours and this kind

257
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: of exhaustion and people not sleeping properly, and they're not

258
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: being safe ways for people to get to and from

259
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: set or be on set. This is an ongoing problem

260
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: in big budget movies, in indie movies, as we saw

261
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: with the Russ shooting with you know that Alec Baldwin

262
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: was recently the trial was dismissed about, but like that

263
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: was another example of it. Sadly, this is not an

264
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: industry that always values the people who are part of

265
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: making the movies possible.

266
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, even fifteen hour days, it's not

267
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: uncommon in TV and movies.

268
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 4: That's pretty much part of the course.

269
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: It's not a judgment, that's just what it is.

270
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that wasn't the only controversy that beset the movie either.

271
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: In late twenty seventeen, sexual misconduct allegations against TJ. Miller surface,

272
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: and you might be like, well, what's he got to

273
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: do with it? He was actually in the first movie

274
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: as his like Deadpool's like annoying friend. He's in Ish

275
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: the second one, he's in ish the second one, the

276
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: allegations were particularly horrendous, and some began calling for his

277
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: removal from the film. In April of twenty eighteen, Miller

278
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: was arrested for calling in a fake bomb threat on.

279
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: An Amtrak train.

280
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: You know, we do it starts getting easier, like okay,

281
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: my guy. Witnesses on the train claimed he was heavily

282
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: intoxicated and had heated exchanges with a woman in the

283
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: first class car with him. He was then removed from

284
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: the train for being inebriated, but he was not removed

285
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: from the film, at least not fully. I can imagine

286
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: that there was a cut with more. Yeah, so it

287
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: was not an easy shoot, and reshoots are very expensive.

288
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: So listen to these ad breaks so that we can

289
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: cut around the stuff that's not supposed to be in

290
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: the poplar.

291
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: And we're back.

292
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: Deadpool two was released May eighteen, twenty eighteen, and would

293
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: go on to grow some worldwide total of seven hundred

294
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: eight five point eight so just under seven and eighty

295
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: six Newllion dollars on a budget of one hundred and

296
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: ten million, not quite the ratio of the first movie,

297
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: but still, like inclu imreredibly impressive. Fandago and Regal Cinemas

298
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: revealed that the movie had the most pre sale tickets

299
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: they had ever had ever for an R rated film

300
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: ever in history. Ever, it also set the record for

301
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: the widest rated release ever. Fox hinted at a new

302
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: Deadpool movie, which wound up being titled Once Upon a Deadpool.

303
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: The movie was announced as a PG thirteen version of

304
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: Deadpool two and would be released in theaters from Decever

305
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: twelfth and twenty fourth.

306
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: Reynolds only agreed to support.

307
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: A PG thirteen version of the movie if portion of

308
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: the profits were donated to charity, specifically a cancer charity.

309
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about R rated movies and why studios

310
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: don't necessarily like them, is because it's not because the

311
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: kids can't go. The kids end up going. What they

312
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: do is they buy a ticket to a PG thirteen

313
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: movie and then they sneak today go and some other

314
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: movie ends up getting that money, and so the release

315
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: of a PG thirteen version is really just a way

316
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: for them to seize back the profits which were going

317
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: into whatever other PG or PG thirteen movie was in

318
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: the theaters at that time.

319
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 3: I will say I do think they came up with

320
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: a fun idea, which is they did like a Princess

321
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: Bride esque reimagining of the movie.

322
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 4: But yes, so the dollar of every.

323
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: Ticket sale went to the cancer charity campaign rebranded as

324
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: Fudge Cancer in the movie.

325
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 4: Very funny of you.

326
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: So development began on a third Deadpool movie, an actual

327
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: separate Deadpool movie, not just a recut PG thirteen version, as.

328
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 4: Well as a separate X Force project.

329
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 3: However, after twenty first Century Fox was purchased by Disney

330
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, a large part of which may or

331
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: may not have been to get back those Fantastic Four

332
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: rights that they had sold to Fox many many years ago,

333
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: all development on future X Men movies was put on hold,

334
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 3: including Deapol three and Force. Reynolds met with Kevin Faiy

335
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 3: to discuss integrating Depport into the Marvel Cinematic universe, where

336
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: he was apparently told he could not use Wolverine.

337
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: Very interesting.

338
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: After working with director Sean Levy on Free Guy and

339
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: the Adam Project, Levy was hired to direct the next

340
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: Stepple movie. Also I'd just say Free Guy very fun

341
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: movie movie. It has lots of Marvel Easter eggs thanks

342
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: to the fact that it was a twentieth century movie

343
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: that got moved to Disney, So if you like this

344
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: kind of stuff, you'll probably enjoy it. Levy, Reynolds, Reese, Wernick,

345
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: and zeb Wells oh Hi zeb Wells worked on a

346
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: number of script ideas but began to hit a block.

347
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: Marvel and the writers all struggled to find that a

348
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 3: story idea that worked, and Levy and Reynolds considered telling

349
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 3: Figy they thought the project should not continue at the

350
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: time dunt dund dund. But in August twenty twenty two,

351
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: Ryan Reynolds was preparing to meet with Figy to discuss

352
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 3: their pole's future when Hugh Jackman reached out to him

353
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: and expressed a desire to reprise his role as Wolverine

354
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: in the film. Allegedly, he said, I'll probably have more

355
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: fun on that movie than anything I've ever done. Figi

356
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: initially advised Jackman not to return, as he felt the

357
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: characters arc ended so well in Logan True. However, he

358
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: was convinced when it was suggested that Jackman would portray

359
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: a new version of Wolverine, tying into the Marvel multiversal

360
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: storytelling arc. Logan director James Mangold expressed his enthusiasm about

361
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 3: the story idea, and pre production began less than two

362
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 3: months after Hugh Jackman joined the project. Fans are especially

363
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: excited about the introduction of a more comically accurate costumes

364
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 3: for both main characters, with a brighter red and large

365
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: black eye circles for Deadpool and the classic yellow and

366
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 3: blue suit for Wolverine, which we had all been waiting for.

367
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: Deadpool. Wolverine opens July twenty sixth. Jason, do you have

368
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 4: some Deadpool facts for us?

369
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Deadpool Facts. We like to end

370
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: every show with a series of quick hitting segments. In

371
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: today's quick silver the fastest Deadpool fact race known to

372
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: the human race, and here it is Deadpool Facts, Deadpool

373
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: Fact number one. Deadpool was Tim Miller's directorial debut. Miller

374
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: co founded Blur Studios in nineteen ninety three of VFX Company.

375
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: For landing Deadpool.

376
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: Miller worked on the title sequences through Blur to David

377
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Alan Taylor's

378
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: Magnum Opus for the Dark World. You should say that's

379
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: why Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds were able to create

380
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: this really wonderful stunt sequence with Reynolds. Because this was

381
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: Miller's background in VFX. I wonder who could have leaked

382
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: the footage.

383
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: Deadpool.

384
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: As noted, the first movie massive financial success, earning over

385
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: seven hundred and three million on a budget of less

386
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: than sixty. Deadpool jokes in the first Deadpool film that

387
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: the X characters who appear in the film Classus and

388
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: the super super weird.

389
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: And rarely rarely appearing.

390
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: Teenage Warhead lie after one page and the but I

391
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 3: loved this version that they created in the still one

392
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: of my favorite.

393
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: Marvel movie characters of all time.

394
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: So thank you, right, so yeah, Deadpool jokes that this

395
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: was all that they could afford. Deadpool the original movie

396
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: was the highest grossing R rated film ever.

397
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: For a little while. For a little while.

398
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: It is currently the fourth highest grossing rated film behind

399
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: One the Joker number one, number two, op Oppenheimer number.

400
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: Three, Deadpool number two.

401
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: Although again, as stated, seven hundred and three on a

402
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: budget of sixty, I think is to me is better

403
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: than a budget of one hundred and ten for Deadpool two,

404
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: and this whatever it was, they made almost somewhat south

405
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: of a billion. So do with that information of what

406
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: you will. Much has been written about Deadpool being Ryan

407
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: reynolds passion project. Less talked about is how Ryan, because

408
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: of that passion, paid for writers Reese and Paul Wernick

409
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: to be on set after.

410
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: Fox declined to.

411
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: Remunerate them for for appearing on set to do rewrites

412
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: and punch up jokes, et cetera.

413
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 2: I get it.

414
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: You know, they were touchy about a budget of less

415
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: than sixty and they were like, listen, we're pinching pennies everywhere.

416
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: We're having to put negasonic teenage work somewhere, so we

417
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: can't pay for these guys to be on film. And

418
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: and so Ryan Reynolds paid for them to appear, which

419
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: is wonderful. Love.

420
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: How about some Deadpool number two facts?

421
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: Yes, ex Corporation, the owner of the orphanage and re

422
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: education center that housed Russell child mutant. Russell of Deadpool

423
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: is a reference to the long lived geneticist and all

424
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: around bad guy Nathan Essex aka mister Sinister. The one

425
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: eyed willing joke then Deadpool makes is a reference to

426
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: the legendary pirate captain and On Detra of the movie

427
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: The Goonies, which featured that movie a young Josh Brolin

00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: riding a BMX bike Love Young, BMX Wonderful. Deadpool was

Speaker 1: and Warpath and as an example of just how pop
