Robert Rodriguez Offered Director’s Chair For Deadpool
By Russ Fischer/June 14, 2010 12:11 pm EST
In January, Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were hired to write the first draft of Deadpool. At the time, no director was mentioned. But now one of the names coming up is Rodriguez. At this point he hasn’t accepted the job, and given that he’s already turned down the Apes film, it’s easy to think he might pass this up, too.
At the same time, I always want to see filmmakers do original projects, and Rodriguez has a couple (like Nervewrackers) he’s been working on. But again, this is just ‘an offer is out,’ so don’t get too worked up or tied to the idea of a RR Deadpool yet.
