BBC News reports that Snipes contends that the third film was merely a setup for a spin-off series and that the director (Goyer), screenplay and supporting cast (Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel) were all forced on him – in violation of his contract.

The lawsuit, which was filed on Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, also contends that New Line owes Snipes $3.6 million of the $13 million he was supposed to get up front for making the vampire flick.

Also, I seriously doubt Wesley Snipes is contractually obligated to appear in the upcoming Blade television film. These would have to be two different contracts, for one a contract for Blade 4 release would have mentioned someting about Wesley being payed in the millions for another film. Also if he were to star in this television film that would mean that he would also most certainly be obligated to appear regularly in the TV series as well which would be another completely different contract. Even if somehow they are able to bypass all of these elements Wesley would still be able to make a stand in court if he so desired not to appear in the film/TV series.

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.
