“And I read it. And I was really upset (laughs). Because it was so well written… “
Though the script caught her attention, she was still wondering how the film would exceed her standards. It was when theDeadpoolstar came into the action!
“The problem, though, was who can direct a comedy like that? Who can raise the bar? Who are you going to cast? And they said, ‘What if we cast Ryan Reynolds?’ I’ve known Ryan for a while, so as soon as they said that, it made it a lot more difficult to say no to.”
