Ryan Reynolds personally funded the expenses for the two screenwriters, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, to stay on set every day. This allowed them to make constant adjustments and enhancements to the Deadpool script, fostering continuous creativity
RYAN REYNOLDS’ BEAUTIFUL CEMETERY š„°
Deadpool is an American superhero film released in 2016, directed by Tim Miller. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson, who is searching for the man who gave him his mutant abilities and scarred appearance, becoming the anti-hero Deadpool. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are two screenwriters who have collaborated with Ryan Reynolds on the Deadpool project for more than 6 years. They are considered one of the key elements of the project, both participating in Deadpool not only from the first days of production, but also when Fox was still wondering whether to produce Deadpool or not.
It was a long wait, but Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were always there, ready to contribute to Deadpool. But because they are screenwriters, once the script is completed, they are often left out when filming begins. Of course, Fox Studios refused to pay for them to appear on set every day.
Lead actor Ryan Reynolds paid out of his own pocket so that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick could stay on set during the production of Deadpool. The duo was there to come up with new “tricks” for Deadpool and give suggestions and adjust the script and scenes to make the most sense.
