Winterfell is Burning Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Blade did go pretty worldwide in three I believe, vampires getting hunted by a super monster thing. If they do go with Blade I'd like a fresh start. The main issue with Blade was Snipes' behaviour on set. He was stoned all the time, would only answer to 'Blade,' wouldn't come out of his trailer half the time, and started at one point only communicating via post-it note. I'd recommend to anyone reading Patton Oswalt Random Roles interview for AV Club in which he talks about the insanity that was the set of Blade 3. Just hilarious.

Martini Sigil Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Blade is one of those properties that could make a terrific cable TV series, especially if Marvel wanted to Partner with an FX or an AMC.... or even better, a pay channel... its not reliant on the rest of the Marvel universe.... it has action & vampires, and the appeal of Marvel, so it should be the kind of brand TV execs are looking for,,,, all they need is decent writers & casting LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 You're right. Huh, looks like I haven't seen Blade Trinity. I've just seen One and Two. Guess I'll have to see it to see what the deal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not missing a huge amount, it has some entertainment value but it's definitely the least of the trilogy by a considerable distance. I'd recommend to anyone reading Patton Oswalt Random Roles interview for AV Club in which he talks about the insanity that was the set of Blade 3. Just hilarious. I just read that, suddenly the amount of screentime given to Ryan Reynolds delivering ridiculous lines makes more sense if they were trying to fill in for the lack of the lead actor.

The Mother of The Others Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 remember feeling sad for the world while watching blade 3. A lot of "WHY!" face was made. And HHH just wasn't able to replace Traci Lords' screen presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Ambar Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Wait, so the ancient one is Tilda Swinton ? , and Baron Mordo is Chiwetel Ejiofor ? Why ? I'm not on of those who go around screaming if there is a gender or race change in adaptations , but still, this is odd. (Especially The Ancient One not being Asain ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enguerrand Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Tilda as the Ancient one seems mostly just to be due to her availability and maybe wanting to tone down the Tibetan angle. Still a peculiar choice to have a white women play an Asian man, if they wanted to genderbend I'm sure an Asian kungfu matriarch actress could have been found, especially since the Asian mysticism angle ties into the lucrative Asian market. As for Mordo his origin story as the arrogant Eastern european aristocrat hasn't aged well. In the 1960thies it was still a real concept, now not really. The excellent animated 2007 Dr Strange movie had Mordo as an Asian lieutenant considering himself the Ancient ones successor, and his resentment and envy towards Strange the white foreign prodigy adds a lot to the movie. So molding his character for the sake diversity doesn't detract from the Strange backstory IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 In addition about the Ancient One thing, I think they're doing it as a title rather than one sole person, so the mantle has been held by other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line between gloriously bad and bad is a fine one, and if it's the former there's a perverse joy to watching films like that. If it's just plain bad I'll do something else.

Calibandar Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I did see there is a Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon, 30 minutes per episode, starting late September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've never thought Blade Trinity is nearly as bad as most people make out. It's stupid, and has way too much product placement, but I found it quite fun. Particularly Ryan Reynolds. You cock-juggling thundercunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So, here's a thing. Katie Holmes is actually pretty tall 5'9". Would she be a reasonable option for Captain Marvel? I didn't like her acting at all when she was a teen, but roles she's played as an adult, starting with Batman Begins, I've been pretty happy with. And obvs since she did Batman she isn't averse to doing superhero movies. I know I'm a bit fixated on actor height for Captain Marvel, but this is actually a compromise with Katie being a tad bit shorter than my ideal. She is about the right age for a Colonel in the military as a starting point. She's a quality actor, she probably doesn't come with an A-list price tag any more, but she is very widely known. And even though I hated Dawson's Creek she was the headline female star, so she can carry. Quite a good mix of pluses for her to take on the responsibility of carrying a pivotal movie in the MCU movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanidePie Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I haven't been able to picture anyone but Charlize Theron for Captain Marvel. That's not who they'll go with, but that's who I'm picturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red snow Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I would do yourself a huge favor and not see that movie. It's one of the worst movies ever made. Not as bad as Ghost Rider 2. I haven't been able to picture anyone but Charlize Theron for Captain Marvel. That's not who they'll go with, but that's who I'm picturing. Probably too expensive given she's well known and riding off yet another successful film. So, here's a thing. Katie Holmes is actually pretty tall 5'9". Would she be a reasonable option for Captain Marvel? Would she dye her hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
