as long as its a blade movie, and not about that biel woman, then it could be great...

i'm glad goyer is gone...

Prophet....thanks for all the effort you put into making these types of threads and thanks for keepin them up to date. I don't post in them a lot, but I read them all.

Blade 4 sounds bad ass...I kind of wish they didn't have to change his outfit every single movie like in the Batman movies...he looked good from the start.

I haven't seen Trinity yet, and I probably won't see it until DVD, but from what I hear...the supporting cast kills the movie.

Thank you, I'm glad that you and others appreciate all the news and updates I have provided so far.

Blade 4 sounds great, I'm glad they are not throwing this franchise away because of unfortunate results in the box office from the bad release date that was set for Blade 3.

I enjoyed the film, didn't have any major problems with it, but if I were you I would just go watch it anyways and that way find out for yourself whether or not its bad or good.

Yea it had a bad releae date and all. But the idea of the nightstalkers was real cool but the way they went around it ruined the movie.

Yeah, but you have to admit that regardless of what "mistakes" it might have had, the release date really cut it back at least an easy 10 million dollars. When your dealing with a franchise like this 10 million is very crucial.

yes it may be interesting with some new blood writing and directing but be carefull it could trun into something like Daredevil. Or how bout how batman 3 and 4? Lets hope they make a good choice in who will be the director and writer of 4.
As for snipes i am sorry but he is just not into the act latley if you watch the movie. His act is starting to get really stale. I hope he gets that energy back for 4 if he is back on board. He is starting to make Blade a paper cut out character, very boring. I thought the two added characters was a much needed breath of fresh air though overall i didn't like 3 all that much.

Yeah me too.

I think Ronny Yu would be a good choice as the director of Blade 4.

He has directed films like Bride Of Chucky and Freddy Vs Jason

moving to brand new 'Blade' forum...

yeah!

blade trinity was horrible.....the first 2 were good...espicially the first one...that movie was just awesome but as soon as i saw triple h in the 3rd one i know i was it was going to suck.....there were so many scenes that should have been edited and so many unnecesarry lines...the only good thing was ryan renolds comedic timing and that only happend so often

Well I actually enjoyed the film, but to each his own.

I too enjoyed Blade 3, i hope the rumours are true that a Blade 4 is in the works! But were dose Blade go from here? What kind of danger could he face? And now that Whistler is dead, who will be there to help Blade? And is there still a place for the nightstalkers?

Perhaps he could face Morbius.

That wolud be a good idea!! If they got Steven Norrington back as well, that would be cool

Great choice. Blade would then be sticking his OTHER foot in the grave, there.

Blade has become such a tragedy.

Hey, if Blade gets a good directer, and story then it can become great agian!

I can see you dislike the choice in director I suggested, although I don't think it would be such a horrid choice.



Thanks

i said in the other thread, i want del toro for 4(if its made)

I really have to sit down and watch the Blade movies. I've seen some parts from the first two.

There will be no Blade 4. Wesley Snipes and the directors said that Blade III would definitely be the last one. It's like the LOTR trilogy or the Matrix trilogy. Blade III = The End.

Hey! hold on now, lets see how blade 3 dose on dvd if it makes a hugh amount blade 4 maybe a go

Exactly and in a VERY recent article over at Superherohype the person in charge of New Line said they would wait for the results of the DVD sales of Blade:Trinity before they decide to make a Nightstalkers film. I am assuming the same will go for Blade 4.

You see you can never say never!

True,

i'm sure i heard somethin about New Line talking about how Blade 3 wasn't as much of a blade movie as they wanted it to be and that they wanted to do another. but with jus blade and not with him getting new sidekicks.

what! there making a blade 4. Why do they want to do that wesley snipes is still doing the part. when he is in his 40s

kykjityi

i think blade 4 should be an origine , and make it a horror/vampire flick not a action

Actually that sounds like an interesting idea....

The blade movies is a perfect example of how sequels ruin everything. They really set the pace in the first movie as blade being a dark character, but the sequels kinda runined that comic booky type thing that they had going on....I was disappointed with the second movie so much so I didn't watch the 3rd and have no intention of seeing the forth....unless Wesley was to kick down my door and make me go.

Reynolds out of the next Blade?
Posted on Sun, 3-Apr-2005

When I talked to Ryan Reynolds late last year about the chances of the "Blade Trinity" spin-off, "Nightstalkers", his interest had seemed to die along with the film's box-office run. Pity, he and Jessica Biel's leather-trousers were about the finest thing in the bloodmatch.

Now, talking to Zap2it, Reynolds said it's unlikely the spin-off will ever happen - because the studio now wants 'Blade' back.

"I don't think it's going to happen," Reynolds says. "I gave them a few ideas of how to take our characters off into a different direction away from the vampire thing, but they really want Blade back."

It'll be quite something if Wesley Snipes is asked to come back as Blade. He did, after all, have a major biffo with the final film's writer/director and the studio itself. Surely they wouldn't recast?

http://www.moviehole.net/news/5375.html

bLADE 4???????????????? bad idea blade 3 sucked i jessica albathe smallest girl alive killing anyting is propsterous, ryan reynolds ok he was cool, but he kille tripple h hes a tree trunk, i think the blade series reached its horrible climax with number 3, acctually the firstone was the best the second one went a bit extreme witha ll the computer fighting and physically impossible moves then number 3 just multiplied the ridiculousness factor by about a billion so ya the series went from cool, to ok to campy know when its done, i mean they had a blind girl watching the securty cameras in the day stalker strong hold, excellent work vampire killers, wel im done bashing all your dreams for blade 4

I wonder who would be the villian.

ya i mean hes kiled frost, and that ripperr dude, and dracula, is htere even anyone else in vampire lore?

Well the idea that everyone seems to be going with is himself so far. Its either that or Morbius.

Isn't Wesley Snipes gonna act as T'Challa in a Black Panther movie? They want him back in a blade 4? Interesting.

He has been interested in the Black Panther role for years now, but nothing has been put to paper. I suppose Wesley Snipes is more likely to sign up for a Blade 4, judging by the way things are going so far.

i hope to god they dont make a blade 4

why? as long as its not the same writer/director as trinity (which wasn't too bad but wasn't as good as the others).
they could do another Blade and still have it be a good movie. but will they make it a good film? doubtful. but i still hope to see another.

man who remebers blade 1, that movie rocked because it was sort of new, new fighting style for a movie, new genre, comic book movie, and he was justa pure bad ass character, everything blade did in the first one completely blew everyone away, i found myself sayng i didnt see that coming. In Blade2 ya i found myself sayng that sometimes because the story was cool and what he was doing was intereseting, like whn he fought those 20 some gaurds on the glass floor. But in Blade 3 because there was less time between 2 and 3, not like between 1 and 2, it looked sort of campy, and ryan reynods didnt hep it out, i know hes a good actor, but his wise ass remarks made the film campy, that and everything did didnt wow me, becasue ive seen blade do it all before, so blade 4 would just be an amalgamation of old blade tricks pulled out of the bin of used up material that will be blade 4. thats my oppinion you dont have to agree thats just what i think blade 4 will be

Exactly why they need a new writer and director to work on Blade 4 and it seems it is going to happen since Goyer is out.

goyer is out officially? as writer too?

they gonna be a blade 4 what he gonna fight alien vampires?

Either himself or Morbius I suppose.

He has moved to work on other films, especially since him and Wesley Snipes hate eachother to death......literally.

yea i know they dont like eachother...

i liked the secnod films director personally..i know there was too much cgi but i liked the way the film looked.

and blade fights more than jus vampires...

their worlds wouldn't go together..
she uses stakes and the like while blade uses Silver to hunt vampires.

if blade 4 gets made there gona need a better villian. blade 3 was awsome no doughbt but what type of vampire can they come up with just think.


he took on


the gods


the demons

and the dracula wannabe.


i would say end the blade franchise before it goes up in smoke like james bond.

exactly. buffy wouldn't know what to do with the blade vamps...
there's not many options for vampires in blade 4. maybe blade starting to bite people?

i still would like to see demons or lycans

the only problem with lycans would be that people would compare it to van helsing...

Lycans?

werewolves...

the disease that causes a person to turn into a werewolf is called lycanthropy...

oh yeah forgive me I thought I've heard that term before....you think Blade should fight monster or just vampires

no idea to be honest...

to evolve him he should fight werewovles and stuff of that nature people who were transformed into monsters in the way that he was meant to be..he should fight that which he fights not to be....that was deep huh.

lol deep mann

anywho i think it'd be a nice next step for blade if he fought lycans.

I feels sorry for us all, I'm afraid that there will not be a Blade 4 after all.

Spike TV's Blade Movie Announced

Spike TV will adapt the successful theatrical franchise Blade, as a two-hour, action-adventure, television movie in early 2006.

Today it was announced that Spike TV would be developing the next Blade film in a exclusive TV movie effort. Spike TV will adapt the next Blade, as a two-hour, action adventure, television movie in early 2006. The announcement was made by Spike TV President Doug Herzog. Spike TV also had this to say;

"The action-adventure genre is largely ignored in today's television landscape, and we know it is something that our male viewers really want," said Herzog. "Blade is a great movie franchise with an established brand that men already recognize and identify with."

The blockbuster Blade film starred actor Wesley Snipes and spawned two sequels. Combined, the films have earned more than $400 million worldwide.

Blade the TV film will be produced by New Line Television and Marvel Studios. David Goyer is executive producer. He penned the three screenplays for the Blade trilogy, and produced and directed the last installment of the franchise, Blade: Trinity.

ya i heard about that made for tv shitfest known as the new blade movie, i mean its clear what hollywoods doing now, they are sucking all the money they can out of this franchise at the expense of the quality of the film, how can they do that, i know the wordl revolves around money and the directors know that doing this will get them a shit load of it. But the quality of the film wil be on par with the third one, over computer generated fight scenes, weak plott, i can only imagine the bad guy, i eman draculas dead right, so doesnt that mean that theres no more vampires? isnt the myth if you kill dracula all vampires return to normal or die, and is aw a post up there for werewolves, WHY, WHY WHY, that would be the ultimate cop out, it would however be fun to see whistler come back, ya know maybe he dove into the lake when the building exploded, who knows, but stil i am not looking forward to this movie at al

yes a blade TV movie will suck

whistler is DEAD. he was sitting down when he pushed the button for the explosions. if he comes back, it would be very stupid to try and make up something for him being alive --again.

There are no more vampires after Drake died. the last one is blade. Drake did say that he was a new type a vampire that the vamps were always looking for. so maybe they'll use that.

Blade fights lots of things including demons. i don't think lycans would be too much of a stretch.

well acctually its pretty much just been vampires excluding those rippers, unless i have completely missed something, but i think they need to completely reconsider making this movie

the reapers were mutated vamps werent they?

ya they were, so its pretty much been vampires, and mutated vampires, oh and that dog reaper from trinity, but other than that its been som kind of vampire, no demons, no goblins just vampires

Originally posted by dubefan

i meant in the original comics. he hunted more than vamps.

yes the reapers were intentional mutations of vampires who were stronger and more vicious but still had the weakness of sunlight.

In the alternate ending of Blade:Trinity the Nightstalkers can be seen battling werewolves in a casino. I am almost sure that Spike TV would and will make werewolves eventual adversaries of Blade in the television film and series.

Although the most disappointing thing about this is not that the next Blade film will never reach theatres or that the franchise has been wasted on what executives believe is a good idea. Actually they are, but what also makes me upset is that we will never see Snipes as Blade again and instead we will see a cheap imitation of him who will ruin the character even worse than TV can.

yes i am saddened at the fact that blade will be ruined by an actor who can't have the same presence and ability to portray blade as wesley did.

wait wesley snpes isnt blade? what are they gonna pull a switcharoo like in the matrix with the oracle wow bades franchise has beeen officially draggeed threw the mud

um.........

when was it said that Snipes wouldn't be playing Blade?..............

Originally posted by Evil Dead

well he's sueing the company that produced the film (new line i think), so i wouldnt count on him being asked back...

wow blade 4 should be titled blade, please waiste your money on this movie

well.........he's suing on very good premises........mostly surrounding the writer/director which he very much dislikes, whom very much dislikes him........and will not be involved in the next Blade movie period. On top of that........I thought Spike TV acquired the rights to produce a tv Blade movie (and series).........where does New Line Cinema play into the picture at all (other than Spike TV paying them for the rights to use the character/name)?

Last I heard.......Snipes contract for Trinity also included another Blade sequel. So New line doesn't want to make another Blade movie.......doesn't release Snipes from his contract. I'm sure those execs. over at Spike TV were not dumb enough to pay for the copyright/licensing of the Blade name and character but not pay to buy out Snipes contract for the movie.

whast he suing them for?

i don't see wesley wanting to do a television series..esp one that goyer is writing for.

ya good for snipes id hate to be used like that for some spinoff movie

yea i wouldn't do a tv series if i couldn't have some say in it. i mean he was the presence in the films that made them Blade. but if he's forced into doin a series then he won't do it well. at least, i wouldn't do it well if i was him, then it'd be cancelled...aggh..i confused myself sorry.

ya blade is wesley snipes, thats like matrix revolutions not havng keanu as neo wouldnt work

So true,

Since it is rather obvious now that Snipes won't be returning to play his title role of Blade in the TV film I'll start throwing out a few names. The last thing I want is someone replacing Snipes, but I think Michael Jai White who played Spawn in the feature film would be a great secondary choice to play Blade in the TV film and series.

sounds alright...

but hes still not wesely snipes, ts gonna be a weird transition but whatever

If Michael Jai White were cast as Blade it would be a weird transition, but the studios don't think the same way we do, so we won't even get that much. Likely we will get some skinny B-Actor who is nothing like the character and will only drag Blade's name further into the dirt.

as much as i hate to say it, that will probably happen.

ya well blade is dead, speaking metaphorically of course

Might as well be physically too, maybe they should have just killed him off in Blade: Trinity. It would have been much less painful and easy than being tortured in a new TV movie and series.

ya i totally agree and it woulda made sence

there macking a forth man these guys jsut never stop trinity was horrible why will they make a 4 movie trinity was ratrd wrost movie of 2004

if they do make a blade for withc i hope they dont and if they do i want the guy that did balde 2 to do it and i wonder who the bad guy is gonna be and i hate dracula in blade trinity dracula wiuld not say time to die mother ****er come on dracula would never say that and he loocked like a *** in human form only in vampire from did he rule

these are all questiong i have asked man and i have not gotten good answers back

I like that idea, actually. His voice is good for the character. He sounds alot like the Blade in the 90's Spider-man cartoon.

hello um i was just going to say that in one of the dvds extras for trinity i guess the idea for doing a spinnoff called nightstalkers following Jessica Biel and Reynolds in ther own movie was proposed and i they both said they would love working on a movie like that

Who is Goyer?

u never stop aazing me film prohet i worship u *bows*

True, he seems like the most logical choice to take over the role of Blade in the upcoming live action TV series.

I can't believe your posting in a Blade forum and don't know this by now, David Goyer wrote all three Blade films and also directed the last installment.

trinity was better than 2 and equal with the orginal. So i'm all for a fourth, but am curious who made the decision, seeing how trinity nearly tanked.

Technically there will indeed be a fourth Blade film, but it is not going to be released in theatres. It will be more of a pilot for the upcoming television series headed for Spike TV.

This is old news from May 5th but I'm going to post it in order to clear things up.

"Today it was announced that Spike TV would be developing the next Blade film in a exclusive TV movie effort. Spike TV will adapt the next Blade, as a two-hour, action adventure, television movie in early 2006. The announcement was made by Spike TV President Doug Herzog."

I thought Trinity was awful and surely saw the end of the franchise, guess not.

yawn

I see your completely leaping from excitement for the upcoming Blade TV movie...

my sarcasm sense is tingling film prophet

the blade tv movie will ruin any chance the franchise had for a comeback in the big screen for at least another 10-15 years.
thats my prediction

The bad thing is, your absolutely right. It will likely go through the same route as the Crow has, with straight to DVD releases which have ruined much of the credibility and interest it once had.
