You may or may not have heard this but I was perusing the internet the other day and I came across this that Tim Miller the director of "Deadpool" was not going to be coming back to direct the sequel unlike other articles on other websites would have you believe.
If you read this blog you might have already read that the same people involved with "Deadpool" including Ryan Reynolds would be returning to this sequel but I have read on TheWrap.com's website that the shit hit the fan at the weekend as according to TheWrap.com's website:
"Shortly after then-20th Century Fox CEO Jim Gianopulos confirmed a second at CinemaCon in April, cracks began to form in the creative team that also includes screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick"
Oh dear...this doesn't sound good...
According to an insider for TheWrap.com Reynolds, Wernick and Reese in initial sequel talks envisioned a "scrappy", raunchy and inexpensive movie very much in the same vein as the first but Miller wanted a much more stylish take, one that would according to this insider compete with the mega-budget superhero movies and one that would have cost three times the budget of the first film which was $58million...but according to TheWrap.com's website this isn't the only time there's been friction between Ryan Reynols, Wernick, Reese and Tim Miller.
According to one insider when Jim Gianopulos was at 20th Century Fox he had to act as "peacekeeper" between Ryan Reynolds and Tim Miller but when he left this job was handed to Stacey Snider on September 1st who it is said to have had input in a situation that was largely being handled by 20th Century Fox President Of Production Emma Watts....but according to another insider executives didn't have to step in and manage relationships until well after the first film was released.
Regardless to say that Reynolds, Wernick and Reese won this fight and their vision won out and Tim Miller's vision didn't so now he's walked away and even now thanks to one fans suggestion of who should step into these directorial shoes being put up on the internet...non other than blood, guts galore and comedy legendary director of movies such as "Pulp Fiction", "The Hateful Eight", "Kill Bill", "Kill Bill Vol. 2" etc Quentin Tarantino the fans have gone crazy and have even started a petition on Change.org to make this more than just a suggestion.
But if you ask me I don't think this is going to actually become a reality, because now I think about it although he may have the clout to tell all these people where to go with their arguments, his style of films I would have thought might go against the "scrappy" ideals that every body to do with this film wants from the sequel, and I just thought if Quentin Tarantino was to direct this sequel it would definitely give this sequel a different kind of style from the first film and it would also most probably give the film more of a cult status like all the other films he's made...which would definitely piss off every body that is involved with this sequel movie giving 20th Century Fox executives more of a headache than when Tim Miller was directing the movie.
