Ryan Reynolds Eyes Reunion With DEADPOOL Writers For Sci-Fi Thriller LIFE

There have been thousands of words written about whether or not Ryan Reynolds qualifies as a true movie star, and every few years he seems to vacillate between soaring career highs and unwatchable lows. Right now he's flying high with Deadpool, and Deadline reports that as a follow-up movie, he's in talks to reunite with writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick on a new sci-fi thriller they've written called Life.

Safe House director Daniel Espinosa is directing, and that would be another reunion for Reynolds since he starred in Safe House opposite Denzel Washington. Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation's Rebecca Ferguson is playing the female lead in Life, which is described as "a big-scale film focusing on a Mars mission that finds intelligent alien life." I don't know anything about the movie beyond that, including what kind of characters Ferguson and Reynolds will play, but I like pretty much all of the elements of this movie, so hopefully they come together to create something memorable.
