Comic-Con may be over, but that isn’t going to stop the comic book movie news train from rolling in, and today we have a crazy one for you. Literally, this guy’s freakin’ nuts. Last night, the internet got a brief glimpse at something magical as someone leaked onto the world the test footage that was created for Fox’s long-gestating Deadpool film. How do we know it was legitimate? Twenty minutes after it was posted, it was gone thanks to a copyright claim from the studio itself.
The mostly CGI sequence features Deadpool in full costume with Ryan Reynolds doing his voice. It opens with the Merc with a Mouth sitting atop a freeway while listening to some music and smashes the fourth wall to smithereens to address us directly. When he notices an SUV of bad guys, he hops down through the sunroof and begins taking them out in his very Deadpool way. The fight within the SUV is filled with an even mix of action and humor, such as our hero commenting on the van’s rich Corinthian leather and getting repeatedly hit in the head like a cartoon character.
Eventually, the out-of-control SUV catches the attention of a man on a motorcycle in front of it that turns and begins opening fire on the tumbling vehicle. Suddenly, the sequence goes into ultra slo-mo as Deadpool sees the man, holds up a piece of paper that can’t be made out in the video and, in one swift motion, relieves the motorcyclist from his head.
Once the van finishes rolling, Deadpool opens the window, does a quick gag with the severed head (still in its motorcycle helmet) and the title card pops up. It’s as great as it sounds as we have a feeling this leak’s going to spark a highly refreshed interest by audiences in the film. With any luck, it could be the thing that pushes Fox over the edge to finally make the damn thing.
Update: Footage got pulled, so I hope you caught it while you could!
Update 2: Blur Studios uploaded a HD version of the test footage to their official website.
Update 3: For unknown reasons (but most likely at the request of Fox), the HD version has been removed.
Did you get a chance to see the Deadpool test footage? Let us know in the comments below!
First of all, I want to thank those that provided watchable links. Secondly, that was HI-FUCKING-LARIOUS AND BADASS. They nailed Deadpool’s smartass, bizarre, funny humor perfectly. And they even included the fourth wall-breaking ! ……..A couple of people said this could be a video game. Well, no, because Deadpool already had a video game released in 2013. (which I recommend. Cable, Wolverine, Domino, Rogue, and Psylocke even appeared in it !) ……..Others have said this could make up for the shitty depiction of Wade in “X-Men Origins : Wolverine”. I agree. Even Hugh Jackman said that they could have done a better job with Deadpool ! ………. I also agree with others in making it R-rated. PG-13 does NOT fit Deadpool at all. Hopefully, when this does get made, Fox will get people involved who are actual fans of the character and the comics, not people who are just in it for the payday and insist on making idiotic changes and ruining everything. Just, for fuck sake, keep it the hell away from Bryan Singer. I could make a 50-100 page essay on everything he has screwed up with the X-Films.
I laughed. I cried. I wet myself.
Join the FB group called we want a Deadpool movie. Let the suits at Fox know what’s up.
Yo/u can find the video in HD here: http://robertcatalano.com/deadpool-test-footage/
If I was able to make a Deadpool movie the MPAA would give it an NC-17 rating lol.
saw it loved it can’t wait for it .
It was part-near perfect! This needs to happen ASAP!
it awesomely Deadpool and needs to be done…. Deadpool in movie form needs to be saved.
I saw it and loved it.I would totally forgive Fox for the mess they made of Origin’s Deadpool…….well ok I wouldnt but I might forget about it for a moment while watching this movie.Ryan is perfect for this part.In every movie he has been in he has had a smartass mouth and a personality that fits Deadpool perfectly.Fox make this movie and make it right.Otherwise……..
Deadpool movie is a an awesome idea. But Nolan North has to be the voice. Hasn’t Ryan Reynolds screwed deadpool over enough?
No because he was perfect as Wade Wilson. It’s not like he wrote and directed the movie dude.
This one works fine http://vimeo.com/101897016
This link is still good http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid935471787001?bckey=AQ~~%2CAAAACMzGMJk~%2CRYQzCEk5IfKnEyfo5dmHK5cF207hcFae&bctid=3700094540001
FOX TAKE MY MONEY!!! I saw the whole thing and it was freakin amazing!!! Had a total fanboy moment!!
It looks like it could be all cg so it could be a video game but either way massive boner. Love Ryan Reynolds. Origins and Green Lantern sucked for other reason. He is the perfect Deadpool. Wolverine just fucked every thing up.
OMG. This is freakin’ amazeballs! I’ll pay so much money to see this.
Saw it, loved it, fox is retarded if they keep sitting on this. A full length Deadpool movie just might help us forgive the atrocity that was x-men origins.
This is going to be the first (good) R-rated Marvel movie.
That footage was amazing! I could forgive Green Lantern if they would release a Ryan Reynolds Deadpool movie…
Caught it, loved it, shut up and take my money.
AMAZING!!!@!@!@@!!!!
maybe when guardians kills it this week, and they see that a kick ass superhero movie with a sense of humor can do well it’ll get them making this. But it must be R rated.
It’s still up http://vimeo.com/101897016
It physically hurts me that this movie doesn’t exist…yet there are 3 Riddick movies in existence.
Soooo.. if you missed it, that’s a shame, but maybe you can check out this instead: *wink wink, nudge nudge*

Yeah, it wouldn’t let me paste the http, so obviously change the r’s..
Ugh! I missed it!
I’ve got a copy if you missed it!
Hey! Can I get a copy?
I’d like a copy of the dead pool test footage
I’d like one too!
Loved it! The tone was perfect. I’ve been dying for an R rated Deadpool movie for years. Hopefully this will light a fire under someone’s ass at FOX.

Sorry for the typo. Mean to say “fire” instead of “fight”.
Looks like video game footage, not movie footage
It’s very early test footage, so it’s not meant to look like a finished film.
Very early test footage? Looks like a finished animated short to me. I mean, even the Ant-Man test footage was live-action.
The test footage was from back in 2010 so…
Either way… I want Marvel to find a loophole like they did with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and use Deadpool.
This was amazing Fox get your shit together and make this already of give it to someone who will
I wouldn’t consider myself a huge Deadpool fan, but that movie would look fun as all hell!
A hoot and a half… and probably the best thing Reynolds will ever be in. Bonus.. He’s MASKED!
Broooo, Deadpool isn’t a mutant.
No, but he has Wolverines healing ability because of the Weapon X project.
He wasn’t born a mutant, but he was mutated. So I guess he’s a “transmutant.”
That was bad ass!
This footage was FANTASTIC! Blur Studio and Fox should have made it. They still should! It makes no sense what so ever that this movie isn’t in production.
