blade trinity

[ current selection | si*se – bitter sponge cake ]
[ feelin’ | munchy ]

you know, i was actually a fan of the first two blade movies. the original was all kinds of cool, and the second expanded on that (albeit not as polished). im also somewhat of a fan of david goyer, who not only wrote the three blade movies, but also the crow and one of my underdog favorites…dark city. so why havent i posted anything about the upcoming third movie, trinity til now? laziness yo. and to be honest, a certain lack of enthusiasm. i mean…its kind of hard following in the wake of the lord of the rings trilogy. i had what…some 20 posts just for return of the king? everything else just seemed kinda feh.

anyhoo, aicn posted a coo set report a few days ago. they paid a visit to the set of trinity and had a chance to talk with writer/director david goyer. goyer talks about a number of the cast members in the movie, new and old. kris kristofferson is back as whistler. and snipes, who goyers had some “difficulty” working with in the past, is apparently still a dick and a half. when asked whether he would work with snipes again…

“Long pause. “Yeah,” says a resigned-sounding Goyer.” ha.

of particular note tho are the new cast members, including jessica biel and ryan reynolds as vampire hunters, parker posey as the head vampire, and wrestler triple h as her goon. i read about jessica biel signing on a while back, but didnt know about the other three. hmm…parker posey? triple h? bwahaha…the movie sounds alot more interesting all of a sudden. im actually looking out for ryan reynolds in particular. i just watched van wilder for the first time last week…and while the entire movie was pretty dodgy, the wilder man himself rocked. reynolds is a pretty coo actor, so hopefully he’ll be all kinds of rockin’ in trinity.

goyer went on to talk about whats in store after the third movie. while blade was conceived as a trilogy, he left open the possibility of making more.

“Wesley told me when we did the second one that he thought he only had one more in him but you never know. We’ll see. I always conceived of three films and there is a definite ending to this. I don’t want to cheat (by opening it up again). On the other hand if it does $150 million, then . . . we’re all whores.“
we’re all whores…word up.
