Ryan Reynolds lancerer Oscar-kampagne for Deadpool med genialt brev
Win that shit!
Ryan Reynolds er en awesome dude. Sådan er det. Og hvis der er noget han også er, så er det ihærdig. Det er ikke nogen hemmelighed, at han har kæmpet umenneskeligt hårdt i mange år for at få Deadpool til at tage springet fra tegneseriehæfter til det store lærred - og at han så endda får så stor succes er helt fantastisk (5,2 millarder danske kroner i box office).
Men det hårde arbejde er ikke slut. Han har valgt at forsøge at snige sig ind i Oscar-kapløbet med et genialt brev til filmkritikerne, Writer's Guild og juryen hos Oscar-akademiet. Brevet forklarer med Reynolds klassiske humor og skarpe tunge den lange rejse og det hårde arbejde - så vi krydser fingre! Hvor urealistisk det end lyder, så kan vi, uanset statuette eller ej, glæde os til en sequel i 2018!

“Apologies in advance for the simple letter. I was informed by 20th Century Fox that I’m not allowed to present you with freshly pitted greek olives, locally purchased deli meats and low-grade Canadian elk jerky. I can offer you complimentary backstage passes to my heart, along with my sincerest thanks for supporting our Deadpool film this year.
As you may know, Deadpool was a labor of intense passion and love for me, spanning the better part of a decade. Actually, it was the worst part of a decade because nobody would make the film. Despite countless roadblocks, the incredible team of Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Tim Miller and I continued onward until somebody at Fox accidentally said ‘Yes’ thinking we were a Maze Runner spin-off.
So with limited resources, and a budget which would barely cover the cocaine costs on most studio films, we were given an opportunity to collectively take Deadpool out of the shadows and into the world. Throughout mind-bending setbacks, an anemic budget, and an entire year without sleep, Deadpool emerged from a 5th tier Marvel character to a pop culture phenomenon… and then onward from there, becoming the highest-grossing Rated R film in history.
I’m so immensely proud of our team from the Location PA’s all the way to Emma Watts, Jim Gianopulos, and Stacey Snider. They helped us introduce a true game-changer to the genre. Audience and critics alike were ready to embrace something new, disruptive, and authentic. Thank you for helping this character of Wade W. Wilson/Deadpool reach the farthest corners of the world.
Thank you for helping me see a decade-long dream explode into living color. Once in a while the long game pays off and reminds me that in this industry, truly, anything can happen.”
