So what you're saying it can only go up from here?

There was an article that pointed out that all they have to do is avoid excessive blood and it won't be that hard.

As Hemi-Cuda said, confused by the bleeps and the lack of blood and lots of innuendo. I want it to be R. It could still end up R. But if it isn't R, then it's not going to be that much different than the comic and how they script that.

I am sure there will be an R version released on blu-ray, even if it is PG-13 in the theatres.

Deadpool doesn't need to swear to be funny, what would disappoint me is having Daniel Way as a major script consultant or writer. He had so few good idea's with Deadpool, but I will give him some credit for his vs Bullseye arc.

I do think they will need some blood, but I think they can also show Wade regenerating without tons of blood as they do with Wolverine(story quality aside).

Also keep Wade Canadian.

Be shocked if it's Dom.

Hoping for Copycat but she does look a lot like Mercedes Wilson.

Is it all because of his affection towards Deadpool? Is that what I'm missing?
I was really surprised how funny Just Friends was. Reminded me of Better Off Dead from the 1980s. Anna Faris was really good in that too.

Don't know where else to put this but there are some leaked videos from comic con from the deadpool trailer, hopefully the link works as fox is pulling them pretty quick. I'm pretty excited for an r rated deadpool.

Quality isn't that great

Yeah, considering the amount of filming they did here it's no surprise.

This trailer is sort of what I wanted. They're not shying away from the dramatic side of what made Deadpool Deadpool. While I understand there will be a huge focus on his humour, if they approach the scenes with Copycat with the same seriousness that they were approached in the Comics, I will be incredibly pleased.

The big issue I had with the run after Cable & Deadpool ended was that Deadpool became one joke that kept repeating the same punch line. There was no reason for any of it, just a character that wanted to do slapstick things. I think Way's dream job was actually writing the character Slapstick, but he got given Deadpool and decided to just go about doing that with what he was given.

Rated R now. Graphic violence and nudity.

Also Fox's marketing team is knocking this out of the park with some alternate posters to 'convince' the wife/gf to go.
Spoiler!

has there been much mainstream marketing of Deadpool?

I see very little aside from the trailer - which isn't nearly enough.

I think it's going to get steamrolled by Zoolander at the box office. (I hope not, as I like Reynolds).

So what happened with this movie? Summer 2014 gets a PG-13 rating... No release... 2016 comes around, rating changes, no real hype... Seems like an inevitable bust.

I'm pretty sure they've actually promised it wouldn't be PG-13 on numerous occasions since the fans know you can't make a good Deadpool movie pg.

As for the hype, I think it gets beat by Zoolander, but this movie probably has expectations of $100m domestic which it can probably do if it makes $30m opening weekend and loses to Zoolander which can make $40-50m. Disclaimer I'm not box office expert. Totally made up those numbers. R rated movies rarely top pg movies like Zoolander due to the limited audience.

They seem to be marketing it to Deadpool fans moreso than anyone else. They are likely thinking that there is enough of a cult following to get a word of mouth campaign going (guys showing their friends trailers, dragging their girlfriends to it, etc..). It's budget is pretty modest for a superhero flick, so they likely don't want to risk a huge marketing campaign especially when there's only a certain niche of people who will be seeing this anyways.

They're basically using their built in audience to market it for them. To be honest, it's working. I didn't know much about Deadpool until this initial test footage stuff, and I'm a big comic guy. It's the people that love him and are getting super jacked on the idea of a movie that got me interested in seeing it. And now I have buddies who literally had no clue who/what Deadpool was, and still don't, but they want to see the movie.
