This is literally perfect casting. I can't fuging wait. As amazing as Snipes was this franchise needed a reboot and now we have a 2 time academy award winner taking on the role. Also it was Ali who approached Marvel about playing Blade.

Brilliant Choice but Blade will always be Snipes to me.

Absolutely, he'll have to play a different kind of Blade. This doesn't rule out a Wesley Snipes cameo, a role as Whistler or Snipes as blade in a different universe now that the Multiverse has been introduced.

Snipes as Whistler was my thinking as well, although seeing someone like Sam Elliott or Stephen Lang in that role would be cool as well.

Not familiar with his work, but I loved the first Blade, and Snipes in that role. 

Snipes proficiency in martial arts brought something special to the character IMO. 

We'll see I'm always hoping for the best :eyeroll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From what I read Snipes was hard to work with and besides the close ups everything else was a stand-in or stun double.

Blade Trinity was just on tv as I sit here. Snipes is awful. He's a detriment to any movie. His entire "acting" is no facial expression. Hard pass on him having anything to do with any movie in the future. My 2 cents anyways.

As for K and Blunt in FF4...that's fine by me but the whole movie hinges on doing Dr Doom right. Nail that and everything else will be fine. Miss it and it won't transcend.

Daniel Day Lewis couldn't of saved that abomination that was Blade Trinity.

Agreed.

 

I enjoyed the heck out of Blade 1.

 

Blade 2 was a fun action flick but nothing more. The fight choreography was amazing and Nomak was a well written & acted villain.

The animus between Snipes and Goyer was well documented.  It was to the point that Snipes wouldn't even speak to the director, but simply communicate in short post-it notes.  All the other actors were very uncomfortable when Snipes was on set because of the tension.  When Snipes was working with Del Toro, there didn't seem to be any issues.... at least nothing that surfaced in the years since those films.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
