Wait to hit a guy when he’s already down! Snipes must be aching all over right now!
“Blade” writer/director (he helmed “Blade Trinity”) David S. Goyer tells Shock Til You Drop that he’s “heard rumours” of a possible “Blade” reboot.
Goyer, who also executive produced the short-lived “Blade” TV series, says Wesley Snipes is likely to be dumped as the Daywalker as the chaps at New Line start afresh. And Goyer’s spot-on when he says it’s too bloody early to be remaking 1998’s “Blade”.
“…the longer time you have between remakes [and their originals], the better. For me, ten years is the minimum you really need”, says Goyer.
I’d say 25-30 years is the minimum – and someone needs to write that on a piece of wood, dip it in gold, and plant it in the middle of Hollywood boulevard to remind the studios we want ‘new’ not ‘old that looks new’.
