Tim Miller Talks Leaving Deadpool 2, The Goon Movie, & Goes Comic Book Shopping

In a new episode of Comic Book Shopping, we’re joined by Deadpool director and Blur Studios co-founder Tim Miller to talk comics, his career, leaving Deadpool 2, an encouraging update on The Goon movie, and his next project. If you like comics and celebrity interviews, this is your show. Each week we’re joined by a new guest, who hits up a local comic book shop with host Jon Schnepp and peruses the wares while also discussing their career, upcoming projects, and of course their favorite comic books.
In this week’s episode, Schnepp and Tim Miller venture to Miller’s local shop Comic Bug in Culver City, where they discuss how Miller got his career started, how he founded the visual effects, animation, and design company Blur Studios, and his early work creating unforgettable cut scenes for video games like DC Universe Online and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Miller also reveals how he landed the job of directing Deadpool, the long road to finally getting the movie made, and briefly touches on his exit from Deadpool 2.
During the conversation, Miller also gives a tantalizing update on The Goon movie that he’s been developing for years, saying there’s going to be an announcement soon and teasing their take on the movie (hint: it’s Goodfellas meets Army of Darkness). Miller also says he hopes to be shooting a new “big movie” next year, which may or may not be a new Terminator film.
Check out the full conversation in the video above, where Miller’s love for comics shines bright as he explains how he gets a pull list from Comic Bug each week. If you missed our previous episodes, check out the link below:

How the fuck did you get Tim Miller? Holy shit!!

[@matthieucote2272]

The same way they got Linkin Park! (which I don't know the answer)

[@MarcCoteMusic]

- Clearly Schnepp knows some people. Or knows people who know people. Regardless, it's kind of a cool show, so far.

[@elikabo]

Or they have a research squad spam calling agents like any other corporation. They are in hollywood, but im sure they don't know all these people.

[@1united4ever]

EVERY EPISODE GETS BETTER AND BETTER. Credit to everyone working on the show but particularly Schnepp whose energy/passion just pops right out the screen. No matter the guest, the whole series is elevated because of him

[@omarcadoffee]

This series is excellent. Hats off to shnepp, Dennis and the collider crew.

[@tristantbennett]

Always love the intros for these shows. Slow-mo plus the music makes Schnepp look super badass. Also, never knew Tim Miller was such a down to earth bad ass, no wonder Deadpool was so great.

[@kenrudd7999]

Yet another awesome episode. Schnepp is straight killing it with this series.

[@matthieucote2272]

Good job Dennis directing those episodes, this stack of comic is the most interesting for me so far, shoutout to the Silver Surfer.

[@austinskywalker5703]

Great guest guys! He really loved being there.

[@joseph_kenyon]

Best episode. Tim Miller seems awesome!

[@CorbCorbin]

This show has me going back up to the local shop every week.

[@ZachBobBob]

God I wish these were half an hour long so they could really deep dive into this stuff it's so interesting and the guests are always great. If this was a full show on TV it'd be one of my favourites. It's professional af

[@ChristinaWoodall]

Anyone that gleefully calls something fucked up shit, I'm down to read whatever Miller recommends lmao

[@pty_foto]

Loved it! Each episode is getting better than the previous 👍

[@seelk.6189]

Fantastic Episode! Keep on bringing it

[@saraB94]

Really enjoyed this series and you keep getting some great people.

[@tomhahnl1927]

Great episode!!!! You live in Comic Book Heaven over there!!!

[@andrewtuck77]

Love these videos, I'm getting so much help. Just got back into comics and Graphic novels after too many years away. Love the Part when Tim talks passionately about why it's best to visit the physical shop, rather than buying online. Unfortunately, in the UK we aren't as fortunate, Comic Book Stores don't appear much and those that do are disappointing. Thanks for the great advise, never stop doing these 👍🏻

[@rennnyka]

This is amazing. I love tim miller and I love this series. The guests just keep getting better and better. Can't wait to see who will be on next.

[@andybennett1300]

This really is some high-quality programming. Well done collider, looking forward to more.

[@sullyrichard7072]

My new favourite show on Collider! I WANT MORE

[@mrb00gedyb00]

Tim Miller kicks ass.

[@davidsykes6584]

Glad to see Uncanny Avengers and X-Men Gold on his list, I love both those choices.

[@omarcorrea]

Where's the behind the scenes or bonus clip for this series? I want to hear what they were talking about on that bus bench at the end 😜

[@shinthemouth2663]

yeh and everything else that was cut, I want the 40min version

[@PeterZeeke]

love that hug XD

[@tennisawareness3404]

What a bunch of sweaty fun!

[@darthknight8395]

love this show!

[@tiberionx]

just saying thanks for an amazing show

[@jorgealbertoosoriocaballer2421]

Best episode

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

Awesome, Schnepp! Now do one with FRANK Miller!

[@icecreamisnice117]

So fuckin awesome to see a director who's actually a nerd...

[@NTWoo95]

I'd love it if you managed to get Chris McKay on here (director of Lego Batman and the upcoming Nightwing), the guy lived and breaths comics; he has Marvel tattoos going up one arm and DC tattoos on the other

[@jawadisdead]

holy shit, he produced the cinematic trailers which are objectively better than a lot of live action stuff from their source material

[@CigaresBretagneBusinessClub]

GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!

[@TheLegitJoker1940]

Would be Amazing to get Tom Holland for this show!

[@indodeze5478]

He is not really a comic book geek. He is more into Gymnastics and freerunning / parkcour stuff, he is very athletic that is the main reason he plays a comic book hero Spider-Man

[@indodeze5478]

Allthough Tom Holland would have red some spider-man comics but I guess that's more to know the history of the character he plays, that doesn't say he's into comic books unfortunately that's just being called ''home''work''

[@jjaro14]

this is like complex sneaker shopping

[@TheGuySilver]

Why are comics cheaper over there?, Over in the UK they're like £15.99 or more.

[@thomaswelbourn55]

Lazarus!!!

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

Anybody else use these videos to figure out what to buy next?

[@mamzelbabooram9623]

Tim Miller Working Om X-Force Next Year

[@madhuvatn6793]

Best episode so far

[@AlexLove631]

Agreed. Tim Miller is the fucking man! So honest and real. There's no room for bs with him. Wish everyone in the industry was like this. Really wish he at least stayed as an executive producer for the future of Deadpool:/ Can't wait to see what he does next tho!

[@rennnyka]

LexMovies completely agree. This dude is so humble. I always love his interviews.

[@chrisshew]

Exactly what i was about to write.

[@TheMelMan]

For sure. My favorite thus far.

[@omarcorrea]

This show just gets better and better. This needs to be on AMC and replacing comic book men.

[@davidsykes6584]

Alex G. I use to love Comic Book Men, but it got too scripted as is usual for a "reality" series.

[@aJollymanProduction]

I think there's a place for both, but I agree, this would be a great TV show.

[@DamianLewd]

I DON'T THINK ANY ONE OF THESE GUYS WANNA RETURN TO AMC

[@KJGould]

Damian Lewd it's not the same AMC. The cinemas and TV network aren't related. Easy mistake to make though.

[@mychannel-jj9py]

No

[@azbadfish]

This series is great! Makes me really sad that I don't have a comic shop in town.

[@Ali23111]

same

[@Temjin1975]

Best show on Collider... I've been trying to find a reason to stay subscribed since the death of Nightmares, this might be it. Nice work.

[@df7189]

Craig Churchill Yea, this show is the best on this channel. But your right..need to unsub this channel in general.

[@ZachBobBob]

Everything these guys put out is gold imo. Isn't a bad thing on here

[@Temjin1975]

Never said was bad things here... just not what I'm into... though I'd add Talking Thrones to my Collider shortlist after checking that out. Now just bring back Nightmares. ;)

[@bastibraune]

Love this show Schnepp!

[@Brook11223]

The DC Universe online especially that 6 minute preview was incredible.

[@JLOFlix]

EXCELLENT EPISODE!! My FAVORITE YET!! TIM MILLER....MAN...LOVE that dude!!

[@jetlorider]

Who are you??

[@Udgrasil13]

I want to buy so much comics now. This show is great but your ruining me =)

[@djhulkfu7958]

Yo Big Schnepp! Please ask Rosario Dawson (she created Occult Crimes Taskforce 2006) or Patton Oswalt. Comic Book Shopping is Sweaty Flavored Fun! I totally dig the show Schnepp! Thank you and the Collider Crew!

[@Domijizzle]

Easily the best episode, not even close.

[@8Paul7]

Amazing show. Tim Miller is so fucking awesome.

[@woody8060]

Am I the only one who realized he is talking about terminator @6:59

[@Spyweb88]

He's talking about his Netflix show, Love Death & Robots.

[@Novapoid]

I knew by reading reports that Tim Miller was a huge comic book fan but this video gives me new perspective on the matter. I think he was 50% responsible for what Deadpool ended up being (the other 50% being Ryan) and I can't help but think he was really f***ed over by someone when he should have directed the second one too. Oh well, we shall see how it turns out.

[@Schmidteren]

Deadpool 2 would have been so much better with Tim Miller as the Director. He understands comics.

[@DendyJungle]

No wonder deadpool 2 was so messy. They needed my mans

[@jamesward3859]

I hope Tim Miller has a successful career

[@TheMelMan]

I love this show. I actually want to visit the States just so I can go to a comic book shop. Great job Schnepp.

[@garrettanderson4236]

best episode yet

[@elroboyo]

Tim Miller looks like such a cool dude. Sucks he's not making Deadpool 2. Best episode yet.

[@SK8fourL1F3]

Shout out to Dennis for killing it in the director's chair. Always puts out fantastic quality stuff!

[@emilnikolov_96]

i love this show so much

[@adenaziz5141]

Love this show so much

[@warnutztheloser]

Forreal what a Bargain... I need 2 shop n this store

[@masamune2984]

As someone who inherited Jack Kirby hand-me-down Thor,Spider-Man,and Doctor Strange comics, and who has been working at a video game/toy/comic-store for over 2.5 years and started not even knowing what a pull-list or "current/silver bags & boards" even were, I am loving this series more and more every episode. I can't tell you how much I relate to that cashier. "Is this is it?" "Ready for the damage?" "You saved THIS much...ready for the total now?" My comic customers are my favorite. Shop local if you can, people. You will build incredible relationships :)

[@masamune2984]

I wish Schnepp would come to MY store. We would LOVE to have him :). (Vintage Stock, Springfield, Mo.)!

[@jontiveros9786]

Holly fuck, I need more of this!

[@jordonfoss1022]

I've watched Colliders for over a few years. Never subscribed. But recent Schnepp influx = instant subscribe.

[@joshuafreeman1652]

Fuck, great fuckin episode of Comic Book (fuckin) Shopping! I especially love the bus stop scene.

[@djofortunato5799]

I Love that you recommended Asterios Polyp ! Nothing like the magical moment when a comics fan is shown something they never knew existed (!) Excellent recommendations all around.

[@IchLiebeSkateboard]

Love this episode Schnepp, Dennis and Co. I'm not the biggest sweaty but seeing one of my favourites Asterios Polyp make an appearance got my sweat on for sure!

[@justdewitt5409]

If you haven't you need to check out his cut scenes for X-men Legends and Ultimate Alliance. They are fkn awesome

[@Mike-hj7gg]

im not really into comics mostly because im broke all the time, but this show makes me wanna buy a comicstore.. Tim miller seems like cool shit, still cant believe they kicked him off deadpoool 2, so stupid.. his goon movie sound awesome, army of darkness meets goodfellas fuck yeah..

[@delscorcho185]

This episode made me really wanna hit up a comic shop immediately. Really fuckin sucks that a once nearby comic vendor that was only a few blocks from my home went out of business last year.

[@ebneigh5191]

I love Tim Miller. He’s like some construction site manager teamster that fell and smacked his head and woke up a geek.

[@tuckerhall8530]

Really miss Schnepp’s honesty and optimism, a voice we could use in times like these with the rise random. Side note: Tim Miller should direct a Wally West Flash film. Cheers, sweeties! 🍻

[@Galactic123]

Holy shit Tim Miller has a pull-list. A true comic book fan! ONE OF US, ONE OF US

[@LowQualityCheese]

Where's that The Goon Movie update that was supposed to be made recently?

[@tritonlockjaw284]

LowQualityCheese Keep on ‘awaitin, my friend.

[@blazesawyer7662]

Just a little bit longer

[@LowQualityCheese]

The last announcement is it's in development at Fox. Development stopped at some point, I guess. This was announced in May 2019, I think. Whether Disney's canceled it since, I don't know.

[@DustingBread]

Tim miller all over KZbin. If all means honest trailers and collider.

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

The other episodes were good but this was fantastic

[@TheMarizanebogdan]

This show has been great all along but this episode was next level awesomeness.

[@RyanByrne311]

Man this show is so epic and it keeps getting better. Bromance initiated! I adore your shows, Schnepp!

[@ugen1111]

Liking this show better than anything else on here. Suddenly looking forward to Collider content.

[@mrchubbles]

The "big anthology" thing Tim mentioned is probably Love, Death & Robots.

[@LiamHarrington97]

Dennis is very talented! Love this show!

[@nivekian]

Please please please do The Goon film!

[@delcatroque2463]

Kevin Murphy yeah !!!!! Please !!

[@LowQualityCheese]

Was the announcement mentioned in the video ever made?

[@VarangianVigilante]

best episode so far. Tim Miller is so sympathetic

[@Omarvel1992]

RIP Schnepp

[@justinrogers9122]

Good work everyone on this episode! This episode seemed to be the best one for Schnepp's sweatiness that he could talk with someone that seemed to love comic books as much as him. Tim Miller always comes off as a nice dude, I can't wait to see more stuff from him.

[@neftalijimenez5125]

Am I the only one that noticed that tim has a hole in his shirt at 10:55

[@PlagasX]

R. I. P Lord Schnepp!

[@mjspresents]

Aesterios Polyp- great book. Not for everyone, it's really mundane at points- but what that all builds to at the end is earth shattering.

[@GordonGoodbrother]

I wouldn’t describe the book as “fun”, as Schnepp did.

[@wajdankhan262]

Collider have really upped their game!

[@marcbelo7301]

You need Jim Lee on Comic Book Shopping

[@VOVASARANINMOVIEGAMES]

Terminator 6: Dark Fate Tim Miller 11.1.2019 🎬🎥 Rev-9 Vs. T-800

[@rickardt760]

Give him Flashpoint or Justice league 2 WB. Please this man knows what he's doing

Tim Miller is like the version of Christian Bale that would be cast as Bane instead of Batman!

[@MrThespice]

What's with all the rips in the t shirt....

[@munozjonathan86]

He seems like the coolest dude lol

[@marcbelo7301]

This should be a netflix series

[@elikabo]

Can't wait for the goon, this will be amazing. That show is also amazing!!

[@danielichay5391]

This is great! Love this ones congrats Schnepp

[@APezzuto90]

I can't emphasize how much I love this show. Tim Miller looks like such a cool dude to hang out with!

[@CCscorsese]

Swap Daniel Way's run with Joe Kelly's; that's definitive Deadpool reading material, right there. Duggan/Posehn's run was pretty great too. Everything I've seen of Tim Miller makes him seem like such a cool dude. Sucks that he's not doing Deadpool 2, but if it has his blessing, I gotta respect that.
