Could Blade Get Another Shot At The Big Screen?

Could Blade Get Another Shot At The Big Screen?

David Goyer seems to think so, and he also thinks it will be a reboot of sorts.

When asked if there were any rumors regarding a new Blade film David Goyer had this to say:

"It's been rumored over at New Line," Goyer told MTV News about the status of Marvel's number one vampire slayer. Speaking during a press event for his upcoming, time-bending, sci-fi television series "Flash Forward," Goyer said "there's been murmurings" of another "Blade" film.

Now if Blade getting another shot is a good idea remains to be seen. After the last outing I had my fill.

David Goyer explained further:
"I think when you re-visit these characters, the question is, how long should they stay off the shelf?" he posited. "When we did 'Batman Begins,' he'd been off the shelf for about eight years. It hasn't been eight years yet for Blade. I think usually if you give them a little breathing room between iterations, it's better."

From his above statement(between iterations)it sounds like a possible reboot to me.

I'm getting tired of all these reboots. There are so many OTHER characters that haven't been explored yet, and need to be. Blade got his three movies, it's time for something else.

I liked all of the Blade films and thought Snipes was perfect for the role...I hope they don't recast or reboot just make more damnit and stop over thinking about shelf life and such.

I'm all for Blade coming back... as long as his primary target are those sparkleboys from Twilight... charge $5 for the 5 minute massacre on screen... could probably make millions from all the people wanting to see that outcome.

Oh yay another reboot. The studios wouldnt have to reboot all these movies if they just had good writing in the first place.

BLADE 4: THE TWILIGHT MASSACRE

Lame.

Groundrunner is right! Explore new characters first. New Line is probably having to reboot to hold onto the franchise rights without relinquishing them back to Marvel.

I'm sick of the portrayal of Vampires being good. I wouldn't mind if they had more vampire slayer films, but I liked Snipes as Blade. I am going to be disappointed when I see anyone else.

Either Snipes or Michael Jai White. You need a good and nasty martial artist. But stick to the real story...

I say no to blade 4, or blade reboot. None of them were as good as the first, and it seems like they start to go down hill from there. I think everybody is just jumping on the vampire bandwagon, whats wrong with leaving it as it is.

Honestly though I could do without another Blade film. If they brought in Morbius I might be interested but lets see another character get a movie. Dont get me wrong I enjoyed all of the Blade films, the second one was my favorite, but its time to give another character a shot.

There can only be one day walker... (in reguards to the Twilight characters)

"Your just another dead vampire."

Snipes is Blade. I never could get into the TV series because he wasn't in it.

I cant wait for the day that marvel gets the rights to every one of their characters, and then possibly make a movie about the marvel civil war, using the original actors from all the movies and follow the story of the comics to the tea. that would be epic.

No more Blade movies. He got his chance. I have a feeling they'd hire some terrible horror director as well. Deacon Frost definitely doesn't need his own movie.

BLADE 4 BLADE 4 BLADE 4!!! : D

Oh and i just clicked on the SUPERMAN Origin rights thing an it disappeared?? : /

The Blade trilogy sucked as a whole, the first was great, but when you put all 3 together, it sucked. They don't need to reboot it, just continue on with what they've had, or don't do it at all. Isn't Wesley Snipes in jail or something?

Blade and Morbius would be sweet, a reboot where the only change is it integrates itself in the Marvel universe Iron Man, Hulk, and Avengers is setting up.

Blade 3 was so dreadful everytime I see it I hate it alittle more

LEEE777 - 8/17/2009, 10:42 AM
BLADE 3 is TEN times more the movie TWILIGHT is! ; D

If they are going to make another Blade movie then they should continue with from the last movie and finally end it on a good note. I am sick to death of reboots. Like Goyer said it is much too soon to reboot Blade.
MIDAS
MIDAS - 8/17/2009, 11:34 AM
A Blade/Morbius/Spider-Man type of movie would be cool, but as a Blade 4, not a reboot. I like the Blade Trilogy; it doesn't need a reboot. Enough reboots. There are plenty of other cool super heroes to make movies of.

I'd watch another Blade movie before I'd read a Blade comic. Never cared for the stories.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 8/17/2009, 11:36 AM
I agree @ MIDAS!

Enough with REBOOTS! REMAKES! PREQUELS!

P.S. MORBIUS would so work in BLADE 4! ; )
MIDAS
MIDAS - 8/17/2009, 11:37 AM
I agree with ironknight27, end it on a good note, and then leave it alone.
MIDAS
MIDAS - 8/17/2009, 11:39 AM
They should make Morbius kill Blade in Blade 4, and then have Spider-Man show up at the end of the movie, leading into a Spider-Man movie.
