| New "Blade" TV Series in the Works Reuters reports that the "Blade" franchise is headed for the tube:
Spike TV president Doug Herzog announced the network will adapt the theatrical franchise "Blade" as a series for early next year. New Line Television and Marvel Studios will produce the project, with David Goyer, writer-director of "Blade: Trinity," executive producing. Goyer is not expected to write the pilot.
My personal feelings on this is that the last movie "Blade: Trinity" was horrible. If this series is anything like that it will bomb fast. I suggest keeping it more to the tone of the first film with Blade hunting vampires with a tech helper who supplies him with weapons, no extra stuff needed. |
