David Goyer sat down and chatted with SciFi Wire recently about the BLADE TV series he’s developing for Spike TV and also dropped info on a number of other projects he’s got in development. One thing’s for sure, the guy is busy!
Here are some excerpts:
Batman Begins screenwriter David S. Goyer told SCI FI Wire that he’s producing an hour-long television series based on his Blade movies for Spike TV, to begin airing next June. “We’re doing a Blade TV show,” Goyer said in an interview at CBS’ fall press preview in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was promoting his upcoming SF series Threshold. “I’m co-writing the pilot with [comic writer] Geoff Johns, and it’s going to be Spike’s first dramatic show, and it’s going to air next June.”
“It’ll be Blade, but it’s different than the movies, that’s all I can say,” Goyer said, adding that a new actor will be hired to portray the iconic character, who was played by Wesley Snipes in the movies.
In addition to THRESHOLD and BLADE, Goyer is also working THE FLASH and starting to take meetings about the pre-ordained sequel to BATMAN BEGINS. Whew!
