Well kiddies, my utter contempt for the mess known as Blade Trinity has been well documented on the pages of The Movie Blog recently. However, I must admit that this little bit of news about a possible Blade 4 has me interested. They really do need another one to make up for part trinity (Stupid title). Anyway, the good folks over at Cinema Blend give us this:
Well it looks like perhaps New Line has learned their lesson where Blade is concerned… namely that the Blade franchise is all about Blade, not hot, young sidekicks however well acted and funny they may be. David Goyer of course doesn’t agree, so according to a rumor being run by the folks at MoviesOnline.ca, he’s out the door for a proposed Blade 4.
They go one to suggest that Goyer’s main motive for wanting to build a new Nightstalkers franchise was just to avoid working with Snipes again… that’s a rumour that’s been floating around a long time… apparently the two of the just detest one another.
I’d be up for seeing another Blade film that’s actually about Blade. Get rid of Goyer, bring in some new blood, make the Vampires respectable again, get a solid plot and you could still have a franchise that is alive and well. We’ll see how this pans out.
