Looks like some pretty cool stuff. It looks like a proper Deadpool unlike that monstrosity in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Think I know why.

Curious how it leaked now eh? Haha

I wonder what the current state of a Deadpool film is right now. Or are they going to have him in a X-Force film? Perhaps X-Men: Apocalypse cameo?? Ahhh, I hate not knowing what they're doing with these films >.<

The link doesn't work. You have failed us.

Most likely because Fox has been hunting down the leaked footage and trying to take it down and block it.

wait where can i see the leeks tho

I REALLY hope it's R-rated instead of the usual super hero PG-13.

Well it could go in the middle and be rated 15. But I would prefer an 18 rating though.

@Spider-byte

Those are UK ratings right? Well here in Canada I could see it as 14A or 18A. Better if the latter. I should mention many R-rated films in the States end up rated 14A here (and PG-13 films there are usually PG here). Very few 18A (only examples I could think of are Sex Tape, The Wolf of Wall Street, and the Evil Dead remake)

It's interesting that ratings have been the dominant subject for this film (if made). I've always felt the MPAA was silly and anal over the littlest things. I could talk at length about it but probably it's best if I don't :P

Yeah UK rating. It goes U, PG, 12a, 15, 18.

But with Deadpool I don't think it is something to worry about unless it's a 12a. It just means that really that most stuff you could do with a 15 or if they decide they want excessive gore or sex or whatever it will be 18.

The main reason people worry about the rating is because while you could do a 12a deadpool and get a possibly bigger audience they would have to tone down Deadpool where as most people want stuff more true to his adult comics.

It's a tough balance isn't it. On the one hand, it would be nice to reach a larger audience and have it successful, but then you risk alienating the fans. I don't want Deadpool toned down, but in the end it's up to the studio. They too have to worry about the rating, and it affects the final product. I hope Fox makes it R-rated.

Also, don't film ratings in the States carry some sort of stigma. For example, PG is assumed "for kids", and PG-13 is mainstream-ish, while R is "mature". Because over here the ratings don't really matter. If people want to see the film, they'll come. If I'm not mistaken, every superhero film since Iron Man have been rated PG here (the Blade films were 18A, so that could be the rating for Deadpool).

I guess the point is, he's been long overdue for a film. He needs his time to shine

Good lord. Just saw the leaked footage in all of it's glory…..

It's….beautiful….

I don't think Deadpool would have to be toned done that much for a 14A rating here in Canada actually. Looper was 14A, and it had nudity, blood and swearing. Prometheus was also 14A and it had the whole alien removal scene. If the U.S used a similar rating system to Canada, I think Deadpool would be able to remain true to the comics while also reaching a fairly large audience.

@Crouching Sloth

Ya I wished they were more lax with the ratings. I was just thinking about if they went extreme with the gore/violence it could be 18A, but I highly doubt that. Like you said, it wouldn't have to be toned down too much to get 14A.

I was also hoping to actually read some Deadpool comics (I only really know him from cartoons whoops), but it's on hold as I'm reading Guardians stuff before I see the film tomorrow night :)

Is it just me or do the guys in the car look like motion cap CGI? I'm quite pleasantly surprised to see Deadpool as a CG character. I mean, Deadpool definitely looked CG from the footage, or maybe it's just the face that's digital?

Yup it's CG mo-cap. The director has a background in visual effects, so ya. As well, CG could work well, as his face would be more expressive even with the mask; mo-cap has advanced quite a bit in the 3 years since this footage was shot. :)

One downside to the movie is that since Paramount has the rights to Hydra, we won't be seeing Bob….
