ANGEL DUST DEADPOOL MOVIE
There's not a single Hollywood movie that's ever been filmed where the filmmakers didn't make the budget. The sad thing is, there was even more fun stuff that didn't make it due to budget, but that's life. However, Angel Dust originally didn't exist in the comic book adaptation, but was later included as a cost-cutting measure.
Played by Gina Carano, she makes for an imposing, near-silent villainous presence.
To make this version of the film, though, screenwriters Reese and Wernick had to get clever with some story elements and characters, including Ajax's right-hand woman, Angel Dust. If Deadpool cost as much as X-Men: Apocalypse, we would've gotten a tame, PG-13 movie. Miller's action is lean and mean, with an emphasis on character and story. But just because this project costs half the price of some of the biggest superhero pics doesn't mean it can't compete with the massive scale we're accustomed to. In contrast to the big boys, this Marvel character didn't need a budget more than $100 million. While I was interviewing Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, it became clear the budget restraints are actually the reason why audiences are seeing a genuine Deadpool movie in theaters this weekend. Tim Miller's film finds spectacle in character, not so much massive set pieces. When its tropes are familiar, it's still plenty of fun, but it's the unexpected sweetness and the honest relationship that makes Deadpool stand out amongst the herd. The film is both a conventional and unconventional superhero movie. The Deadpool embargo is no longer, and the R-rated 20th Century Fox project has garnered mostly enthusiastic reviews.
