This is literally perfect casting. I can't fuging wait. As amazing as Snipes was this franchise needed a reboot and now we have a 2 time academy award winner taking on the role. Also it was Ali who approached Marvel about playing Blade.

Brilliant Choice but Blade will always be Snipes to me.

Absolutely, he'll have to play a different kind of Blade. This doesn't rule out a Wesley Snipes cameo, a role as Whistler or Snipes as blade in a different universe now that the Multiverse has been introduced.

Snipes as Whistler was my thinking as well, although seeing someone like Sam Elliott or Stephen Lang in that role would be cool as well.

Not familiar with his work, but I loved the first Blade, and Snipes in that role. 

Snipes proficiency in martial arts brought something special to the character IMO. 

We'll see I'm always hoping for the best :eyeroll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From what I read Snipes was hard to work with and besides the close ups everything else was a stand-in or stun double.

Blade Trinity was just on tv as I sit here. Snipes is awful. He's a detriment to any movie. His entire "acting" is no facial expression. Hard pass on him having anything to do with any movie in the future. My 2 cents anyways.

As for K and Blunt in FF4...that's fine by me but the whole movie hinges on doing Dr Doom right. Nail that and everything else will be fine. Miss it and it won't transcend.

Daniel Day Lewis couldn't of saved that abomination that was Blade Trinity.

Agreed.

 

I enjoyed the heck out of Blade 1.

 

Blade 2 was a fun action flick but nothing more. The fight choreography was amazing and Nomak was a well written & acted villain.

The animus between Snipes and Goyer was well documented.  It was to the point that Snipes wouldn't even speak to the director, but simply communicate in short post-it notes.  All the other actors were very uncomfortable when Snipes was on set because of the tension.  When Snipes was working with Del Toro, there didn't seem to be any issues.... at least nothing that surfaced in the years since those films.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔

      Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two
