TV-MA is da equivalent of a R rating, I thought.
TV-MA is like smoking CBD weed.
Damn good casting.
They better get to filming this. We get like a 1 update a year.
quoting myself for the proof of statement:
I said it two years ago...looks like their finally coming around. I like Delroy Lindo for that...
oh and Lindo is NOT the new whistler..kris kristopherson was the DIVERSITY HIRE in the first movie...
now if they just bring in Wesley snipes as blades ORIGINAL MENTOR Jamal Afari
the wiki:
Afari grew up a daring adventurer on the mean streets of Harlem, fighting vampire foes such as Dracula as a youth with only his amazing combatant abilities. This gained him honorable respect from many other street dwellers. Over time, Jamal began to give up his young life as a dark adventurer and learned to play the jazz horn with exceptional skill. This happiness was proved short-lived due to Afari's later drug abuse, and he was soon sent to a hospital to get over his addiction. After Jamal's recovery, the former vampire slayer was ready to give up on his life completely, when one night a ruthless band of vampires attacked his home. During the battle, a nine year old Blade arrived on the scene to help Afari battle the villains. Together the vampires were defeated. Jamal thought that this was a sign he should continue his adventuring life, and he became the mentor of Blade and taught the hero everything he knew about fighting. Over time, Blade became very skilled in this practice. Afari would always test his skills for training, hunting, and patrolling, and he taught the young man.

Mahershala Ali on ‘Blade’ Co-Sign From Wesley Snipes, Onl...
Mahershala Ali discussed his role as Blade in the MCU on ...
Sounds like the Director was in over his head (one doc and one movie to his credit) and Feige pulled the plug before production starts in a few weeks..
I would like Feige to bring in Wesley as a Producer
It past time for Snipes to move behind the scenes with his 30 years of Martial Arts expertise and Action Flims...

Undervalued, Underestimated, and Marginalized.
Sounds like most of Disney series since the snap.. lackluster action scenes.. this will fit right in where the mediocre- c-u.. prob throw in some cheap comedy and the director of Blair witch project.. a vampire movie featuring no vampires and in the end blades partner will be in the corner staring at the wall while blade panics and you here a thump over his head
I don't think Ali's going to stick around for long.
Brother probably has quite a few other projects He's had to put on hold for this.
Ali's only stuck around this far because He knows BLADE's impact on MCU culture.
But why waste his time for the last three years with practically no script?

Get David S. Goyer and Steve Norrington to write and direct this movie. They did it right the first and can do it again. Marvel only gets one shot with Blade and if this movie is not as raw as the first two were then DC will slaughter them and Marvel knows it.
Marvel has to get dark and go rated R on this one to compete bc DC is ready and been ready to take it there.

And he DID Christopher Nolan’s Batman’s series, Blade 1 & 2, and Dark City so what’s your point?
You are also forgetting that Kevin Feige produced Blade 3 also
im say bring back the original director Norrington and the original writer Goyer
My point is like I said I like Goyer as a writer and I think its a good idea
but I don't know what his relationship to the property is after he had pretty much total control and tried to write out Snipes and did a bad job overall
Feige was a damn junior co producer on there bro.
That's because Wesley was showing up high off his ass in meetings and on set and being totally unprofessional. That nigga lost his way. Do you think they are gonna tolerate that shit with money on the line? And you black??? Fuck no. Especially after what Marlon Brando did what he did back in the day. I'd write Wesley's ass out the movie too.
I don't know if you every worked in production before but when they say co-producer, that means that fool has his hands knees deep in the trenches and could green light shit that is not up to par without taking the backlash. Blade 3 had so much shit working against it, that it made no sense. Why the fuck is Patton Oswalt and HHH in this movie. WHAT????? AND DID THIS FOOL JUST DO A PEDIGREE???
Every movie Kevin Feige that has been produced I always fall asleep on, except Black Panther. And that was because Ryan Coogler is a maniac when it comes to his projects. He won't let anyone fuck up his vision.
But I can't stand Kevin Feige superhero movies bc they always have Tarantino witty dialogue that serve no real purpose but filler. If I want Tarantino then I watch Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. Now does Kevin deliver production value hell yea, but I can't tell you one rememberable moment from his movies of the top of my head, not one.
Like I said 2 post ago. Let Goyer write it and Norrington direct it. Shoot I'd even settled for Len Wiseman (Underworld series ) or Zack Snyder to direct it. It's shown that if people just leave them fools alone and let them get their vison out (not the producers and execs, the directors), then we (the audience) get a good product.
Just so you know this is coming from a person who had to watch THE BATMAN movie at least 6 times before I actually liked it, so yeah.....
Ok I stopped after the Wesley wilding part.
See I didn't finish reading your whole post
I promise I will
but I need CONFIRMATION that Wesley was REALLY wilding like that
cause when Patton Oswald talked all that sh*t
Wesley called him out and he bitched up immediately and NEVER said that stuff publicly again.
I always wanted to know the TRUTH about that.

I understand. You don't need to read a whole rant from a menatlly acute individual.
Trust me, I want a good Blade movie, and I'm excited for the next Batman movie after finally liking it. I just don't want my time waisted watch bullshit storytelling.
How Jonah Hill critiques sums up my attitude to movies
I hope Spike gets it.....
