David Goyer Expects a ‘Blade’ Reboot
"I heard rumors that they may want to start from scratch with a new person playing Blade,” David S. Goyer told Shock Til You Drop. “It’s funny because I thought about how I never wanted to do a vampire film ever again because I’m sick of it. But I was reading the Tomb of Dracula Omnibus and I hadn’t read them in a long time and I thought it might be cool to do another vampire movie at some point."
Goyer made his name working on the Blade trilogy of films, starring Wesley Snipes. He has since gone on to write and direct many other genre films and thought he put the vampire hunter behind him. Hus next project is an original horror film, The Unborn, opening next month.
"God, it feels like they remake movies five years after they come out now," Goyer added. "I’m sure New Line at some point would like to do another version of it. Me? Never say never, but I think remakes are more successful the more time there is in between. Honestly, I think they should have waited for the new Hulk. I like the new one. But the longer time you have between remakes [and their originals], the better. For me, ten years is the minimum you really need."
David S. Goyer is one of my favorite directors. I loved what he did with the new Blade films, Ghost Rider, and the new Batman movies. Especially, with The Dark Knight. But, it is a bad idea to make a remake of Blade. Wesly Snipes is Blade. I know he's in prison, but so was Robert Downy Jr. and people still love him in his performance with all of his movies. I loved Blade the moment I watched the first movie. I at least want the character have an appropriate ending before the character is remade.
blade trinity was downright awefull terrible!
If a blade remake is going to happen without Wesley Snipes, then please get Michael Jai White to paly the role of Blade. He has the attitude for the role and is an excellent martial artist.
He is the reason why BLADE has to be reboot… after he destroyed the franchise with the piece of sh** BLADE TRINITY.. is a shame.. cause BLADE 1 was amazing and director Guillermo del Toro did a great job with BLADE II.. so that this idiot comes and destroys it.. I honestly believe he is a great WRITER.. but he is a VERY BAD DIRECTOR.. I like him as long as he stays infront of a PAPER and NOT in front of CAMERA..
