I really hope they don't turn this shit into some PG, playful garbage like thor and Doctor Strange.

This movie is meant to be Visceral, Dark, edge of seat. I ain't in the business, but that's my take as a fan. That's why the first Blade is so loved, IMO.

Iger is back, the fact of the matter is that I think Feige may have been spreading himself too thin and he's going to be more attentive moving forward. I think they get this right

He probably already see some problems smh.

But good if he did. Nothing from a regular office to a billion dollar organization is perfect day one.

Especially something like a movie?

The greatest scripts in Hollywood history go through LITERALLY dozens of revisions.

They are supposed to.

And as a potential franchise lead he should demand the best constantly.

So this ain't really news. News would be everything is perfect we need no rewrites and no rehoots.

This is all just noise to keep the film interest buzzing.

All that isn't to say this will be a masterpiece

But this news here doesn't have me worried at all. I actually want them to take all the time they need if I'm marvel Disney...

They need the supernatural era to open STRONG.

Sidebar... bring back Snipes

keep in mind first script had 1 action scene... and kills Blade to replace with a female blade

shit - I wouldn't bat an eye if they report that this new script was inspired by Twilight x Too Wong Foo


:yes:

Bro stop it you know how many drafts a movie goes through. That's standard operating procedures.

You dealt with writers bro. I've mostly dealt with books novels some scripts but once the actors get involved then the studio / publisher? Damn.

And like you said the first one was apparently sh*t. I don't know if I believe that leak but it don't mean nothing if true. Script gonna change until that thing is locked.

I got hope. I think Iger got Feige focused which he NEEDED to be.

But to be fair this is not an easy script

They gotta bring the supernatural to the MCU and make sure this vampire thing doesn't drive "certain" families into a moral tizzy.

They ain't sign up Ali to kill him before the 3rd Act.

Again I got hope.

not when the writer gets fired and the release date gets pushed back
:lol:

they aren't working the screenplay - they scrapped the entire story and started over from scratch

screenplays are tweaked all the way until the final cut - but Marshala rolling up his sleeves means major plot /story problems

You realize we agree?

Why is it BAD Ali getting involved?

If it works?

He gets all the credit.

If it fails?

Marvel gets all the blame.

And entire plot lines get crossed put all the time and I know you know that.

Sidebar...

Rock had a decade to fix that script. Look what happened?

Russo still editing and filming WEEKS before release crafted a classic.

It's all in the game fam.

Let's wait and see how it develops.

Corny!!????

That was one of the greatest lines of ALL TIMES!!!!
Of all time in a superhero film or of all time in all of film?

Shit, IMO it wasn't even the best line in that film.

Blade: "There are worse things out tonight than vampires."
Karen: "Like what?"
Blade: "Like me."

Simple, to the point, and timelessly bad ass. BTW, it also came from the comic Nightstalkers.

To be fair, That thing in the first Blade about motherfuckers ice skating uphill was corny but we ignore that because the film was bad ass overall. Jokes don't make or break a film. It's either good or bad based on other variables.

Y'all too funny. Motherfuckers always trying to ice skate up hill was a badass line bro. It's memorable as fuck.

So is "there's worse things out tonight than vampires"

The problem I've always had with comedic lines is they are either misplaced or given to the wrong motherfuckers. Ant-Man quantumania is probably the best example. There is nothing to like about ant-man's daughter. She's not cool, she's not cute she's not funny. She's not even smart. And when she throws out bad funny lines...

I've never written on the big scale (yet), but shit both of you two sound like Connected Men hiding in plain sight on BGOL

If dude is serious about the first script being that bad - 1 action scene? Female Blade? I do not good feelings about this movie

I'm flattered fam. I truly am. @playahaitian is definitely a Connected Man. I'm not. I'm just a normal brother who likes books, film, music, and writing.

I should have pursued a career in the arts but, alas, it was not to be. That said, I'm still somewhat young so it can happen.

As for this new Blade, I have hope. Mahershala Ali seems to be taking this project seriously and I trust he won't let it get fugazi. Now, if Ali leaves the project, then it will be time to worry.

Here's where that line came from in Nightstalkers #1:

Bro, as a writer I'm gonna say this: I steal cool shit all the time.

I'm writing The Naughty Nurse Chronicles Volume I, an erotic fiction story. I'm reading it to my ex-wife on the phone, who is helping me edit/word choice/situational accuracy and I said (while standing next to a 6'1" ex-Marine):

"She put up her tiny ineffectual fists"

And we BOTH busted out laughing. When we were married we used to watch Grey's Anatomy together and that was one of the lines that Derek said in either season one or two.

It was real small, real quick. I don't know who else would know where that was from if they were to read it, but right then, right there we both knew, and it was so funny.

It's an erotic fiction story, so I steal lines from porn all through it. There would be a porn scene where a chick was getting fucked real good for real, no acting...

I was watching some homegrown with a sexy Black chick riding her dude. She climbed up off the D and said, "Whew, I need 38 seconds" and flopped down on the bed

That shit is random as fuck, but funny as shit and 100% natural and real.

Why 38 seconds? Only She knew, or maybe she didn't lol.

I write all of my dialogue, but sometimes it's just as Jay Z use some lines from Biggie in his rhymes, I borrow

Yo if Ali leaves? And this next phase stumbles out the blocks

Don't quote me.

Feige gonna move on.

I hope beyond hope they can pull this Nightstalkers / Spirits of Vengence phase off.

So damn much.

Sidebar: I'm seeing a WHOLE lot of retro revisionist Eternals love lately...

Very interesting. I know Marvel still pissed that movie ain't do what they wanted. But it a way it did. It broke even and the streaming is ridiculously high.

Maybe the public IS ready for more MAGIC after Dr. Strange?

And vampires never go out if style. But Iger is so family friendly. I just don't know.
