Gambit movie

[Raiders]

So you don't like Deadpool in comics? Because the nature of the films are that but not the character he's printed in a book marketed to kids he's completely censored in the comics and always has been.

With Deadpool, the movies are better than the comics.

Exclusive: X-Men Producer Explains What Films Will Influence Gambit

"I think with the standalone movies, meaning Logan and Deadpool. Not mainline, X-Men movies, one of the things we've strived to do is sort of create a sub-genre within the genre of the superhero movie. Obviously Deadpool was like a R-rated comedy. Logan was very much a western. And, so we talked a lot about who Gambit is. And it's always motivated by the character is. We talked a lot about who Gambit is as a character and the things that Channing [Tatum] relates to in the character. And so obviously he's a thief, obviously you know his superpowers, those things are going to be very present and prevalent in the movie. But he's also a scoundrel, and a rascal, and a womanizer, and a lot of other things that we felt like we could explore in his relationships with women and one of the genres that is underserviced genre now is the romantic comedy. So whenever we can smuggle some other genre into one of these kinds of movies... I mean I did it with...The first movie I ever wrote was Mr. and Mrs. Smith and that was a romantic comedy smuggled into a spy thriller. In the same way that on the surface it will be a superhero movie with you know. People love superpowers and things are going to explode and there's going to be car chases and all of that. Doing all the powers and cards that you are familiar with. Underneath that will be romantic comedy undercurrents and it's not really like Rom-coms from when we were growing up. Or when I was growing up. It's more going back to like Philadelphia Story and His Girl Friday and just the kind of pattern banter of that and the fun and speed of those kinds of movies."

So Mr. and Mrs. Smith will be a primary influence, with elements of classic Screwball Comedies. That could be a good mix.

Well that actually sounds amazing. Except now I'll be super PO'd that it's Belle instead of Rogue. Mr. & Mrs. X / Mr. & Mrs. Smith . . . Maybe NOT a coincidence?!

Sadly I think this project will never see the light of day. The new direction of it being a "Romantic comedy" actually makes me relived as it could be a disaster if they are trying to punt it out before the merger

If you look at my posts before now I was super hyped for this movie and was 100% behind Tatum as Remy, I thought he was going nail it. The project has dragged on for too long and no one seems to be able to stay committed to the projects direction for any amount of time

Sounds like it going to be a fun movie

Never thought about that... What director is going to carve out time from their schedule to dedicate to a movie that might not happen due to the studio being dissolved? Yeah, the director would get a severance package (they'd get paid, but only a piece of it), but they'd also have to pass on anything else for at least a year. These jobs are scheduled months, if not a year or two in advance. So, I wouldn't count on any "name" directors signing onto this. That goes for cast and crew. Same position. To take this job, they'd have to pass on others, which is fine when the studio isnt about to be eaten by another. I think this is why we've havent heard a thing from anyone else other than Kinberg. I don't think anyone else is willing to sign on for something that's this nebulous.

You might be right, but we don’t know what going on behind the scenes.
They might already have a director and cast that hasn’t been publicially announced yet.

A lot of directors are not working year round. Some only do like 1 or 2 movies a year. Even when you look at some of the rumored directors Liman went like 2 years in between Edge of Tomorrow and Bourne and has mostly down one movie a year with a few times doing two.

Deadpool dragged on for over a decade. No saying it will get made but ya'll too focused on every little tid bit and noise. Might as well not worry about it until you hear it starts filming if at all. That is what I did with Deadpool and it avoids all he angst over stuff being in production hell for a long time.

[butterflykyss]

is this movie still happening now that the merger is soon to be final in the next few months? I thought only dp and new mutants was surely happening since this movie didnt have a committed director. did something change?
