Blade Daywalks To Spike
Spike TV says it has ordered a two-hour movie that will act as a pilot for a series based on the Blade movies, with a premiere targeted for early next year, Zap2It reported. David S. Goyer, who wrote all three Blade films and directed the final installment, Blade: Trinity, will serve as an executive producer of the pilot. He's not expected to write it, however, as he's also at work on two other comic-book-based film projects: Ghost Rider and The Flash, the site reported.
Wesley Snipes, who starred as the title character in the films, but who is suing New Line, Goyer and others for breach of contract in connection with the last movie, is unlikely to reprise the role in the TV film/pilot.
Blade is based on a Marvel Comics character, a half-human, half-vampire warrior who hunts bloodsuckers and can walk in daylight.
