aicn continues their interview with david goyer, talking in-depth about the upcoming blade: trinity. goyer brings up alot more info about the movie this time, including more info about the new characters (such of the nightstalkers), as well as the major plotlines. if you werent aware, the top dog of blade: trinity is actually none other than the impaler himself…dracula. (i did not know this). goyer goes over their coo mythology for the vampires, and how dracula was the progenitor of the entire race…as well as the basis for many ancient mythologies. very coo reading.
the second half of the article continues with a discussion about how goyer landed the role of directing in the first place. guillermo del toro, who directed the second blade, actually took on the job in hopes of helming a movie big enough to land him his dream project…which it eventually did. so after blade ii was released and guillermo was greenlit for his hellboy project, goyer was basically asked to take up the directing chair in his place. director by default…woo. there was also a funny bit about the casting of parker posey, where goyer describes the day she came into the casting call…and had no clue why she wanted to be in a vampire movie.
“…she came in and kind of strutted in…I said, and you can hear me on the tape saying, “Why the fuck would you want to do this movie?” She said, “I don’t know. Because I want to be a Ghetto Vampire Chick. I want to be a Trailer Park Vampire Chick.” It’s about five minutes of me saying, “You don’t want to do this movie,” and she’s like, “No, I really do. I really do. I want to do something different.” I said, “Yeah, but you’re just going to make fun of it. You’re not going to take it seriously.” And she said, “No, no, no, I really want to do it.” She called me twice from New York, and said, “I really want to do it. I’ll be good, I promise. I’ll take it seriously.”“
ha…cant trust parker. the article goes on to talk about some of goyers future projects, including the upcoming batman intimidation movie being directed by chris nolan. it sounds like the franchise is back in the right hands after being dirtied by the likes of joel schumacher. to quote goyer, “Fans will like it. No nipples. No codpieces…” …and thats all we ask for.
