Future Movie Gimmick

There's gonna be a Deadpool movie coming out next year, and I'm pretty excited about it.  In the comic books, Deadpool has a motor-mouth, always talking and making wisecracks.  He breaks the 4th wall regularly to speak directly to the adult/kid who is reading his comic.

I very much enjoyed breaking the 4th wall when I was performing, but only when it was called for.  In improvisational-based sketch comedy, though, you could make it "called for" regularly. 

Something that I have found interesting/mildly frustrating about the psychology of entertainment is the expectation of passivity in the audience.  Movies, TV shows, plays, concerts, just about any live performance has the expectation that an audience will enter a space (theatre, living room, performance hall, etc.), and then allow the performance to be presented to them while they take it in.  There is very little activity or thinking expected from an audience. 

One of the most exciting times, and it's truly exciting, is when an audience is JOLTED into action, either mental or physical action, by the performance.  This is best described as the action that is taken when an audience at a scary movie gets startled to the point of jumping or gasping.  But you can get it other places, too: a professional wrestler performs a huge flip and lands belly-first on his opponent, and the audience cheers; the chandelier comes crashing down in the live stage version of "Phantom of the Opera" and the audience squirms to get out of the way; in the live stage version of "Tommy" during the "Pinball Wizard" number, the pinball machine literally explodes into a ball of fire onstage, and the audience gasps.  It is exciting to move your audience to immediate action, and I love thinking about ways in which to do just that.

Now combine the thought of moving your audience to action with a character who regularly talks to the audience, is a smartass, and kills people.

Here's the gimmick I hope they use in the Deadpool movie (and if they don't, I hope I can make movies and use this gimmick someday).

Make the movie so that the actual projection of the movie is larger than the screen by about a foot or two on all sides.  You would simply increase the size of your projection at the theatre.  HOWEVER, the filmmakers would realize this would be happening, and they would lessen the size of the movie by about a foot or two on all sides.  The ultimate effect would be a large black frame of space surrounding the screen on all sides.  This would allow you to project an image off the screen and on the wall or curtain of the movie theatre.  Like if an animal or hero were going to appear to crawl off the screen and into the theatre, this little manipulation would make that possible.

SO--

You could film the entire Deadpool movie in a way that would make it look like any other movie.  Yeah, maybe people would notice at the start of the movie that there was some extra blackness being projected around the screen.  But honestly, when was the last time that you paid attention to the area of the movie projection?  Never, that's the answer.  You never have.  So the movie starts, and for a moment you may have the thought of, "oh, there's extra blackness being projected around the screen on all sides," but very quickly you're going to forget this and be pulled into the movie.  Later in the movie, though, when Deadpool is killing everybody awesomely, he will turn to the audience and say something like "I'm now coming to kill you all!"  Then he shoves his arm OFF THE SCREEN AND ONTO THE WALL OF THE ACTUAL MOVIE THEATRE as he starts to pull himself out of the movie world and into ours, because he's coming to kill us!!  And women and children LOSE THEIR MINDS AND SHIT ALL OVER THEMSELVES!!  And I scream my everlovin' head off!!  And then the movie goes black, and the end credits roll, and EVERYBODY STANDS UP AND CHEERS FOR THE BEST MOVIE THEY'VE EVER SEEN!!

Brilliant!
