657 - Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds
Manage episode 437935592 series 2584159
John and Craig welcome back Ryan Reynolds for an in-depth look at his creative process bringing the character of Deadpool to the screen.
As co-writer, producer and star of the Deadpool franchise, Ryan leads us through his first introduction to the character, the rough journey getting to greenlight, and the challenges presented by an often-faceless protagonist. Along the way, they talk tone and dialogue, collaboration and rule-breaking, respect and irreverence, and the importance of listening to the movie. Ryan also has some writing questions for John and Craig.
In our bonus segment for premium members, we look at Ryan’s flair for marketing and the creative freedom he’s found in advertising.
