Tim Miller Also Believes ‘Deadpool’ Movie Is Close To Happening

Miller spoke to Clevver Movies (via ScreenCrush) and said the following:

Here’s their video report on the news, where they mention the new script.

Deadpool is still alive and we’re just waiting for the studio to embrace what an amazingly fucking awesome film this would be. Ryan is ready, I am ready, the fans are more than ready, we just need that elusive green light.

New script, willing director, star, and an affordable budget. So what’s the hold up? The fact the film has sat in limbo for so long speaks volumes about how the studio feels about it. They’re probably not sold that a hard-R, super meta superhero film based on a character who is not a name brand, can be a hit. And if you read that sentence again, you can’t blame them. It also seems to be at a budget that, yes, may be “affordable” but these days “affordable” movies rarely get made at major studios. That money is usual thrown at making sure things bigger.
