EXTRA! EXTRA!

The Deadpool Blu-ray may not contain a more violent, raunchier and profanity-laden Director's Cut as many speculated it would (director Tim Miller has declared he's happy with the film the way it is), but the bonus features more than compensate for the lack for an R-rated version. The movie's massive fanbase aren't shortchanged with a handful of EPK featurettes – this disc is fully loaded! A 5-part documentary feature covers all aspects of the production in the same irreverent tone as the film. The deleted scenes clock in at 19 minutes and include a significant sequence that Miller (who provides an optional commentary track) calls the 'Cancer World Tour', in which Wade takes a trip to Mexico in search of a cure. Look out for Nathan Fillion, too. 'Deadpool's Funsack' rounds up all the promo material that bombarded us prior to the release, and the gag reel is of course a belter, with the improvisational nature of a lot of the lines providing ample alternate takes. It's a return to the generous package of extras we used to get in the early days of Blu-ray and DVD. As Deadpool would say, "Maximum effort!" BEST BLU-RAY BITS

BLACK COMEDY Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling have a mutual admiration society going on, bonding on the set of Shane Black’s '70s-set crime caper, The Nice Guys . By Gill Pringle

“I still remember being pulled from the scene to go to school in the trailer – it’s a weird life to be a child actor. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you feel you have no other choice what to do,” he says. Both actors received their own share of bruises and scrapes on the set, Crowe even breaking his nose. “Oh my God, I crawled to my trailer every night,” says Gosling. “I felt for Wile E. Coyote and everything that he had gone through in those Warner Brothers cartoons. But even though it hurt, I also love that stuff. Falling into a pool, crashing through a plate glass window or getting hit by a car. I couldn’t get enough of it.”

C rowe plays a small-time enforcer to Gosling’s clueless private eye, and both actors were surprised to learn how funny the other one was. Crowe has been a Gosling fan since he saw him in Drive five years ago. “I went backwards from Drive to see where he came from and I’ve seen everything he’s done since. We just laughed really easily and that’s not something you could have predicted,” he says, referencing a slapstick scene in a men's restroom where Gosling is sat on the john juggling a magazine, a cigarette and a gun. “That was our first day together on set,“ says Gosling. “And I had my pants around

corner and we are both laughing because this is so stupid and that was the moment where I felt like this is going to be fun.” If Gosling’s Holland March is a pretty useless PI, then he’s an even worse father – cringing at how he had to treat Angourie Rice, the child actress who plays his screen daughter. “Russell and I were constantly like, ’Oh my God this is just so bad. How can we do this to her?’ But she was totally unfazed and such an incredible kid with such a great perspective, even though we were both very apologetic all the time,” says Gosling, 35, who began his own career as a child actor.
