[Friday, November 26th, 2004]
Blade 3: Trinity PosterWesley Snipes is said to have pulled out of all press duties for the upcoming Blade: Trinity.

Snipes has reportedly signed up for another movie as soon as filming finished on the third Blade movie. "Wesley is in Bulgaria shooting a movie." Trinity producer Peter Frankfurt told Ananova. "He's done three movies in Bulgaria. Actually I haven't talked to Wesley. Wesley won't return my calls?"

"He hasn't called me to talk about it. If he was genuinely unhappy with the film we would have heard something. There's a lot going on in his life and he's got a lot of issues at hand so who knows. The guy is an awesome Blade."

"Sometimes the paths of communication between us are fantastic and sometimes they're non-existent. If Wes doesn't want to do press that's a career choice he's made."

Snipes is said to have had total control on the set, and had to green-lighted scenes in which he appeared. He is also said to have stayed in character throughout the movie.

Frankfurt adds, "Wesley has script and director approval of all the Blade movies. He had to sign off on absolutely everything we were doing."
