Robert Rodriguez Offered ‘Deadpool’

The ‘Deadpool’ movie may be closer to having a director. It is being reported that 20th Century Fox has offered the job to writer-director Robert Rodrguez (Sin City). Rodriguez is reportedly considering the part, but has not confirmed that he will be taking the job. 20th Century Fox has also offered Rodriguez the new ‘Planet of the Apes’ reboot, which he declined. Rodrguez has ‘Machete’ and ‘Predators’ coming out this year, and will be working on ‘Spy Kids 4: Armageddon’ this summer. Ryan Reynolds is still reportedly attached to star in ‘Deadpool’, and ‘Zombieland’ writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are working on the script.
