20-Second Take on the Deadpool Redband Trailer [NSFW]

So, you’re a studio exec, making a movie on one of the most popular comic book characters never to see the silver screen. Your plan for total box office domination is to cast Ryan Reynolds, eff his face up, premiere it in February and hope he’s finally taken seriously as an actor. Seriously. If that’s your logic, why not just get Mickey Rourke? Then your only challenge out of the gate is a rom-com rumble with Amy Shuler on Valentine’s Day.

Meanwhile, here’s the movie trailer formula we hope equates to Ryan Reynold’s eventual success:

Superhero Chops

If you actually liked Green Lantern (we didn’t)…

Cult Comedy Cred Once Reserved Only for Sir Jeremy Piven

…but wish it were more like Waiting (who wouldn’t?)…

Better Viewing Through Chemistry

…then Deadpool is definitely your movie.
