There was a time when you could count on Wesley Snipes shooting and kicking and slapping all kinds of muhfukkas. Or to put that another way, you could always bet on black.

After a tiny matter with the IRS, Snipes is prepared to stomp more ass in the action flick GAME OF DEATH. While not a remake of Bruce Lee's final unfinished work, the movie features Snipes as "a politician's bodyguard who must fend off five of the world's top assassins."

The movie is being directed by Abel Ferrara (BAD LIEUTENANT), reuniting with the actor almost two decades after working together on the Christopher Walken gangster flick KING OF NEW YORK. Stuntgal Zoe Bell and perennial C-list baddie Robert Davi are also in the cast.

Snipes still has the cop drama BROOKLYN'S FINEST and the horror-western GALLOWWALKER also awaiting release.

Extra Tidbit: Ferrara's early exploitation flick Ms. 45 is a personal fave -- surprised that one hasn't been remade yet. Whoops...

Snipes Strikes Back
As long as Snipes gets out of the direct to DVD work, I am excited for a return.

Sounds like a formulaic action thriller, but then we get Abel Ferrara's take on it, and it'll be hard-core I'm guessing.

Wesley is still...
a great actor. I was watching "White Men Can't Jump" the other day and realized how good he is as an actor. Glad to have him back making more movies. I would love to see a fourth "Blade" movie.

I'M BETTING ON BLACK!
I dig Ferrara and I still like Snipes, even though I hear he's a jerkoff in real life. Hopefully the movie kicks arse!

Is he really a jerkoff in real life? I watched New Jack City yesterday and then it will fit in with his character well.

This better not be another straight-to-DVD flick. Though with Ferrara directing I doubt it could be.
