Zombieland scribes go to Deadpool

Scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are jumping from flesh eaters to a foul mouth mercenary as they sign on to pen the script for the Deadpool spinoff movie. Ryan Reynolds is cast back on to reprise his role as Deadpool after his first stint with the role in 2009′s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This spinoff got greenlit after the weekend numbers came in for the prequel X-Men film, which is not a huge surprise given how many different kinds of movies spawn off of one success.

There is no timetable on the Marvel property, though Reynolds has a window after wrapping the “Green Lantern” this summer (Variety). Producing is Lauren Shuler Donner with Marvel Enterprises and Twentieth Century Fox attached to the project. Fox has quite a few projects on their plate with Marvel at the moment, the biggest of that includes the Bryan Singer helming X-Men: First Class.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
