You know what? I would go see that. I thought Dorff was the best thing about Blade.
Okay, second best. Kris Kristoferson was the best.

This might prove to be interesting. But, what do you do with Frost? Somehow make use of his comics background and powers? They'll need to make Frost sympathetic, as he would be the main character, and he didn't really come off as that in the first film.
Although, it's been years since I've seen the first film.

Dorff's career is sort of over. Unless they recast or this is straight-to-DVD, why would any big studio make a movie with Dorff as the lead?
What's next? A Judgment Night prequel about the adventures of Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding, Stephen Dorff and Jeremy Piven BEFORE they encountered Denis Leary?

they'll call it "gun" >_<
Not surprising when the two people trying to get this made are a director who hasn't made a film in 6 years, and a struggling actor.
Neither of which were the driving force behind the original movie series.
I am surprised Snipes hasn't tried to get a new Blade project off the ground since he's pretty firmly in the straight-to-video realm himself these days.

They should do a prequel about the vampire pomeranian from Blade Trinity.
I thought Snipes was going to jail for screwing with the IRS?
Exactly. I could see the IRS giving him a type of leash law realizing that making movies his the best way to get paid back and save that jail space for a real criminal of malicious intent.
LOL! Good one!
Seriously this should never get made.
An actor who has done little or nothing since Blade and a director who is equally down on his luck. Surely no one would produce this even for DDVD.
I think Snipes is out on bail pending appeal.
Eerie, I almost posted that myself...
I think it's funny that they not only have this unlikely project in mind but that it's a trilogy no less.
He hasn't had much appeal lately.
Snipes was always just the guy you got when you couldn't get Lawrence Fishburn or Sam Jackson.
No way. He was a star before Sam Jackson and his movies did better then Fishburne's in the 90s. He messed up by making a string of straight to DVD action flicks later in his career. I'm kind of surprised they're revisiting Blade at all though, with or without Snipes.
^ The string of straight-to-DVD cheap action flicks were because of his downward slope. Supposedly he was very difficult to work with, and when he hit it big he seemed to do stupid action flicks left and right that canceled out everything he gained with his acclaimed comedies and dramas.
I agree. Snipes was a star way before Sam L. Jackson and he was a contemporary of Fishburne, and absent the Matrix movies, Snipes probably had a better record at the box office (Demolition Man, Passenger 57, New Jack City, Major League, Wildcats, Waiting to Exhale, White Men Can't Jump, Rising Son, etc. before the Blade films). He was one of the best action stars of the 90's, but he also had dramatic range. It's amazing how far he has fallen. I'm still scratching my head at it. I guess it began with the controversy on the Blade Trinity set and then the IRS troubles.
