Blade 2 Writer Talks On Script

[Sunday, December 23rd, 2001]
Comics Continuum have had a chance to talk to, David Goyer, the writer of the upcoming sequel, 'Blade 2'. He says that the sequel is not going to be a rehash of the first film.

"If you consider T2 and Aliens two of the best sequels, what they both did in some ways kind of turned the first movie on its head," Goyer told The Continuum. "They didn't just do, 'OK, it's an alien again.' We tried to do something similar. OK, what would be the last thing you would expect Blade to do? Which is to have him to team up with the vampires.

"With this movie, we went in just a completely different direction. Also in this film, we've already dealt with his back story. He's made peace with who he is and we went sort of deeper in vampire mythology. In the first movie, we learned that there's this whole subculture.

"In this movie, we delve even deeper into that, the way the vampires get their money and their language. There's barely any humans in the second movie. Because the vampires are the ones being hunted - and not just by Blade. The Reapers are hunting the vampires in the second film."

Early previews of 'Blade 2' have been really good, and it looks like its going to be a "must see" movie for me.

Blade should be released in the spring, nearing the end of March 2002.
