Yeah, he's a dickhead. Not the first or last in any entertainment genre.

I eleive eesley. They prolly temoved his name from ececutive producer credits
Produced by
Avi Arad ... executive producer Cale Boyter ... executive producer Toby Emmerich ... executive producer Peter Frankfurt ... producer David S. Goyer ... producer Lynn Harris ... producer Stan Lee ... executive producer Art Schaefer ... co-producer Wesley Snipes ... producer
"All you had to do was make a Blade movie with BOTH Ali and Snipes, CJ"
Soooo disappointing.
All Marvel/Disney had to do was make a Blade movie with BOTH Mahershala Ali AND Wesley Snipes... with Wesley "handing the torch" to Mahershala by the time the final credits rolled.
The concept is not that hard to understand.
Everybody WINS.
And just hire Kevin Grevioux to write the script and stop bullshitting with all these other writers who don't have a clue.
He's the guy who created the whole "Underworld" movie franchise!!! That's all they needed to GET STARTED...
Ssshhheeeiiit.... Kevin probably has at least 100 different Vampire & Werewolf movie ideas floating around in his head.
Or he can create a brand new one that has never been seen before.
That guy made 4 separate Underworld movies and each of those had a $22 million >> $35 million >> $50 million >> and $35 million production budget... in that order.
Jesus Christ, imagine if Kevin Grevioux had a Marvel/Disney-level budget of about $100 million dollars to work with??
With those 3 guys, Disney could add ANYONE ELSE to that cast/crew and it would make at least $700-$800 million at the box office, in the USA alone... because I don't see a new Blade movie making less than "Wakanda Forever" made at the box office.
- The first Ant-Man movie had a production budget of $130 million.
- The first Doctor Strange movie had a budget of $165 million.
- But a new Blade movie doesn't even need that much.
- About $100 million should get it done, at the bare minimum.
The dude is calling it stupid while simultaneously laughing at it.
Wesley covered his mouth to hide the fact he was cracking up after Tim Robbins said "EGO,EGO,EGO,EGO!!!!"
I often wonder if they would ever setup their directors like they do their writers...Coogs will be responsible for Black Panther, JJ Abrams will handle the X-men, i know there are crazy schedules but just to keep the continuity where you dont have things fall off like thor love and thunder and Doc Strange: MOM.
I like that idea. And basically when Feige has been given full control that was his system.
And then have EVERYONE in house collaborating on every project with their suggestions expertise etc hence the reshoots these so called fans get all in a tizzy about.
Which I liked and to me is the smart way to do these huge projects on schedule
How Ryan Coogler Worked With The Russo Brothers During The Making Of Black Panther
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a movie franchise unlike any other, but with that position comes some notable issues, and certainly one of the most significant is maintaining continuity between projects.

Infinity War Directors Collaborated with James Gunn, Ryan Coogler and More
Joe and Anthony Russo may be getting the directors credit for Marvel's 'Avengers: Infinity War', but the MCU at large is built in part on their collaboration with other filmmakers like James Gunn, Ryan Coogler, Scott Derrickson, and Peyton Reed.

I wouldn't be against a totally new director - other than the usual suspects. I trust KF to read the room because I think Marvel needs to pivot somewhat. Call it superhero fatigue or just post-COVID attitude change, but folks just don't look at comic book movies the way they once did.
You can keep serving chicken but you'd better season and cook it differently.
^^^^
agreed
Honestly? People don't look at going to the movie theatre the sane PERIOD regardless of genre.
I want a completely fresh take
Let Jordan Poole try it
Spike Lee or Ernest Dickerson or team them back up
emmanuel osei-kuffour
Eggers would be ill
or bring back del Toro.
But looking at Sinners? Damn I wish Coogler had got it.
I think the easiest slam dunk is to get the Wick or Gang of London guys.
Swords and guns
Get Blade to London New Orleans and Haiti or Jamaica.
A new updated killer opening club scene
A one shot hallway fight but through a cemetery or abandoned church.
Some marvel cameos especially Snipes
A few cool tag lines
Everybody happy
I'm sure they're doing focus group testing to see where folks' heads is at.
When I think about it, we, and I take liberties here, were okay with all the suspension of reality before COVID hit us all with a big-ass dose of reality.
So Marvel will have to pivot so things are not so totally fantasy. CA:BNW tried with real-world allusions but whoever thought Anthony Mackie could carry a picture, let alone a franchise is crazy.
So basically I see with BNW that Fiege is aware of the changed landscape and is trying to find that power niche.
I don't disagree with any of your thoughts but whoever it involved will have to vibe with KF. After that we'll see what we see.
Sensei Almondz the prequel
I mentioned him more for the fighting scenes tho. Wouldnt be mad at it tho. He had a lot of input in blade
Agree but this is not the project for a first time inexperienced director with a huge amount of pressure surrounding it.
Why not? Last few movies have been shit anyways lol
And thats the problem in Hollywood too many of the same faces
He has no experience with a project this big yall gonna be the same ones to kill him if it flops. Why you want to set him up to fail? Snipes reputation is finally getting good again. Let that man win.
It's like the NFL hiring the black coach to fail build everything up and then give it a white one.
Let them get this right with the best talent available. I don't want recycled losers but experience is not a bad thing.
And you can't be critical of Marvel for that, they have always given new directors and writers a chance from Russos to Coogler etc.
This is a very important high profile project. I would want Chad to at least executive producer to make sure this gets done right
and I still think the gangs of london crew should be the final choice.
IF they really want to do it.

Shameful,they can't get their act together when it comes to Blade...

I really would pay good money to be in just ONE meeting to hear WTF is the issue.
I will say this in defense.
I been in rooms where everyone is so DESPERATE to get it done RIGHT?
It never gets done at ALL.
I would like to be in those meetings too.
All they have to do is have the director,Wesley(especially,I do think he should have some say),Ali and the writers in a room bounce ideas around. Hell,maybe they could save them for a sequel.
I understand wanting to get something done right but it shouldn't take this long.
I think it's more of the business folks than the writers and director...imo...Disney is known to squash anything they feel isn't connected to the universe.
We will never know. But we can't say they aint tried and they aint spent REAL MONEY. You not doing all that this long for something you don't want to do. Especially with all the public scrutiny.
And its NEVER that simple as to just get a bunch of people in that room (especially Wesley who REPORTLY can be difficult by his own admission)
Especially a bunch of people who think they ALREADY have the answer, Cause then you aint EXCHANGING ideas you telling folks what to do.
That aint collaborative.
And the crazy thing is that collaboration style is what Feige INVENTED for the MCU people forget Coogler Gunn and Russo Brothers helped each throughout that run. (even for Sinners Coogler reached out to a lot of fellow directors)
I don't UNDERSTAND the Blade thing but I trust Feige a lot. PERSONALLY I think it was TOO MANY IDEAS.
EVERYONE THINKS IT SOOOO EASY.
IT aint.
*sidebar: dudes on here claim they know how to write the whole story? But couldn't type 4 script pages. And won't watch a 4 minute video without time stamps but think developing a $100 million + highly sought after blockbuster is EASY?
to be clear... Marvel fumbled this completely and seriously embarrassed themselves in the process.
But I would rather NO BLADE than a BAD BLADE.
