Not sure how long this will be up, but here's some test footage with Ryan Reynolds voice. Apparently it was from 2011 when Tim Miller was developing the project.

It was also confirmed by Phillip Silvera who was the fight/stunt coordinator for it

Re: Deadpool Test Footage

Not bad at all, needs the other 2 voices though. I still think they could work Nolan North into it for the head voices if they insist on using ryan reynolds.
 
Re: Deadpool Test Footage

Not bad, but a lot of people disliked Ryan Reynolds for Wade/Deadpool in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film (I think it was because of how annoying the character was and how unlike Deadpool he was). But at least in this test footage, they actually got Deadpool's personality (well, at least the primary, since the two other voices aren't there) right. I kinda wonder what was on that sheet of paper Deadpool held up now.
 
Re: Deadpool Test Footage

So if deadpool knows he is in a comic, would film deadpool know he was in a film?

Like in Moonlighting?

People remember that right?

Might just be me.

The answer is "yes." In fact, he acknowledged his time in the comics and the fact he was in a video game in the actual video game. For example (NSFW):


So, the real question is this: will Deadpool, in the movie, acknowledge the comics and the game?

Ideally, yes... but they'd have to be careful about how they do it to avoid freaking out the non-comics readers. If they follow a storyline from the comics, I think it'd be awesome to have Wade pause and ask "Hang on, didn't we DO this already?!" the grab an issue of his comic to paw through it.

Well, I don't think the actual comic has been featured in any of the comics itself. In fact, Deadpool appears to be the only one who knows he's in a comic. But I'm sure he can make reference to the comic in the film (for example, one time in the comics, when a character asked how long it had been since they last met, he replied with the issue number). If, for some reason, they had Wolverine turn up and ask that question, he could reply, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I see that headshot healed quite nicely!" But honestly, if Wolverine did turn up in Deadpool's film, I think it'd be funny to have something like this happened:

Re: Deadpool Test Footage

Here's how you address that...

(Movie starts with Deadpool sitting in a movie theater and he's watching Wolverine Origins. Towards the end, he stands up, throws his popcorn and starts shooting the screen)
He turns to everyone else and goes "No! No! NOOO! That is NOT how it happened!"
(Turns to the camera) "How could they do this to me?"
OK...so the eye beam lasers are a little bad ass, but the rest is all wrong.
Here's how that **** really went down..."

Re: Deadpool Test Footage

If they are going to do the "breaking the fourth wall" thing, that is fine, but leave it with Deadpool. I do not want him showing up in an X-men movie or something and telling Wolverine or somebody -"Hey, y'know this is a movie, right?" That just craps out every bit of drama ever.

Yeah... I think this kind of goes without saying. He doesn't randomly pop up in other people's comics and do that so why would it happen in the movies?

Wow... I like Deadpool a lot less having watched that. I knew he did the "breaking the 4th wall" thing in the comic, although I never read any. If it's that bad and his voice is that annoying I'm out. It reminds me Jim Carey in The Mask.

The Reynolds test footage does look pretty cool though. I'm just not sure how much I could get into the breaking the 4th wall thing in an entire movie.

I like that.
 
Re: Deadpool Test Footage

Rob Liefield did this interview today on the footage

The day after the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International ended, Deadpool fans were treated to a leak of the test footage of director Tim Miller, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and actor Ryan Reynolds' vision of a Deadpool solo movie. Fox, then, began pulling it down from the Internet while a passionate fan base was (and still is) uploading it for everyone to see.

The Daily SuperHero reached out to Rob Liefeld—who is the creator of Deadpool, Lady Deadpool and the Deadpool Corps—for further information about the Deadpool test footage. Liefeld was happy to share exclusive info about the fantastic footage.

The Daily SuperHero: What were the reasons for utilizing motion capture technology instead of live action with green screen? And how long was the production process for the Deadpool test footage?

Rob Liefeld: Any technical questions would best be answered by the talented Mr. Tim Miller who directed the entire sequence. As for the entire existence of this footage, remember that it is appropriately referred to as "test" footage for a reason. Fox had released a relatively small budget for Tim to present his vision of the script written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Tim is a master of the short film format, his Star Wars shorts and trailers for their video games are outstanding. Tim's Blur Studios is an amazing outfit, home to over 70 artists under his direction, it's Southern California's own Industrial Light and Magic.
The digital costume over Ryan Reynold's motion capture (Mo-Cap) performance was an approach they wanted to explore and they had a relatively small window to create this short so they opted to "test" the look of a digital Deadpool costume over Ryan. I'm quite pleased at how it turned out, especially considering Baraka-Deadpool from Wolverine Origins.
Most people are unaware that the Spider-Man they see swinging over Manhattan in the [Sam] Raimi and the [Marc] Webb films is a digital creation, a CGI cartoon figure, Deadpool would operate as a similar hybrid of live action/cgi. Again, this was a test to sell the director and writers vision.

DSH: The test footage was filmed approximately two years ago, are you surprised it took so long to leak and are you surprised at the fan reaction to the footage?

RL: No, I'm not surprised, studios take leaks very seriously and they can carry a severe penalty for all involved. I've seen the footage about a dozen times over the years, but there is no recording allowed. You sit, you watch, you exit. I'm un-certain how exactly the footage was obtained and released but I hope it doesn't pose any further delay on the film.
I'd also like to note that this was filmed 3 years ago this summer and that Tim and his crew have upped their game considerably beyond what you see here. Tim is an uncredited director on the pre-credit sequence for Thor: The Dark World, the sequence that introduces Maleketh and the battle against Odin's Father, that whole sequence is stunning and was created on short notice. I can only imagine how amazing Deadpool would look 3 years later with all of Tim's advancements as a director.
One more thing, because Tim and Rhett and Paul were so generous with me and allowed me to witness the entire process from concept art to storyboards to pre-viz, I assure you there are many more impressive sequences beyond this one. If they were allowed to release the hounds, it would be incredible. You can see that they have a great command over the look and feel of Deadpool.

DSH: Have you, Tim, Rhett, Paul and Ryan ever expected this level of fan excitement over the footage?

RL: I'm quite certain that no one anticipated this level of excitement for this reel. I'm so happy for Tim, Rhett, Paul and Ryan. It's even more amazing considering how grainy and dark the footage is. That is not a high quality clip. I've only seen it in HD on a big screen. The overwhelming enthusiasm for such a low quality clip is impressive.

DSH: Do you think it is more than coincidence that footage was leaked the day after Comic-Con ended? Or do you think the leak has to do with Deadpool's recent surge in popularity?

RL: No idea whatsoever. You'd have to say that whoever timed it really scored a direct hit.

DSH: If you can comment, why did Fox opt to not move forward with a Deadpool movie?

RL: That is for Fox to answer.

DSH: Do you think the positive reaction of the fans for the leaked footage puts pressure on Fox to finally green light a Deadpool movie?

RL: I wish I knew, it could just as soon **** them off. I really have no feeling on it at the moment. My relationships on Deadpool are with the film makers. There have been some major executive turn overs at the studio level in recent years and I'd like to believe that the current regime is basking in the glow of the enormous success of X-Men Days of Future Past, far and away their biggest achievement to date for the X-family. Here's hoping they want to add Deadpool to the film library.

DSH: Finally, who would win in a fight ... Squirrel Pool or Rocket Raccoon?

RL: Squirrel Pool straight up, Rocket would be in waaaay over his head

Re: Deadpool Test Footage Now in HD

I know some people will hate this but.......

I love Deadpool the guy is one of the few American comic characters I actually like and will go and buy his comics to read,that said I kind of think if they want a Marvel character to unite the various franchises that are scattered all over it'd be Deadpool who could just randomly show up in say X-Men,then Spiderman,then Avengers or even Dr.Strange and that would be perfectly normal

Because when you think about it he's done it already in the comics,in fact he's even hopped around the various different Marvel realities and caused all kinds of havoc so no reason he couldn't show up in all the Marvel film ones.
 
Re: Deadpool Test Footage Now in HD

They won't make a deadpool movie is cause it has to be rated R. No if and or butts about it. Since its a comic book movie we gotta be able to sell it to the kiddies. F that, they can wait a few years and grow up to see it like every other kid with slasher movies n crap.

If you want the answer to that I'd say let's see how they handle a Punisher movie,the last few have been....almost comically violent.

Or the kids can wait for their parents to go see it and ignore the rating system's information on it. Hell, it hasn't stop any parent before (one time, in 1999, I went to see Hannibal. Everyone knew it was a followup to Silence of the Lambs. I knew going in about the character who loses the top of his skull. Before the movie even began, I heard a baby crying behind me. When I turned around to see where it was coming from, found the mother, holding an infant, and with three other kids, all under the age of 12). Now, I'm not going to judge, as my parents took me to a lot of R-rated movies that came out in the 1980s, and even got to see some of them on TV growing up. But bringing your kids to see Hannibal? Really? My parents wouldn't even let me see Silence of the Lambs when it came out in theaters when I was that young).

If you want the answer to that I'd say let's see how they handle a Punisher movie,the last few have been....almost comically violent.

Isn't there a difference between Punisher violence and Deadpool violence, though? I mean, Deadpool is the kind of guy who would shoot an unarmed civilian who had no involvement with the situation to use as a distraction in order to get away. Hell, Deadpool actually did that in order to get away from Daredevil.
