You see the guys over at IGN recently chatted with Snipes from prison and asked him a number of things, including what he’s got going on in there and if he would ever consider a return to the BLADE franchise. We’re here today to talk about the latter. Here’s what Snipes had to say regarding BLADE:
“It would be nice to fulfill some of the really cool plans we had for Blade, but didn’t get the chance to go live with. … Some people forget or overlook my/our contribution to this current trend. The ‘Gaming’ community knows and the streets give us credits, but the movie world frequently plays us like the ‘ugly step child’ or the ‘kitchen help,’ especially when the conversation revolves around the ‘boys in tights’ or ‘the bat’. Getting asked this question all the time, my response is: ‘Under the right circumstances, with the right team, yes, I’d do another one.’ But don’t get me wrong, I’m not waiting around for the opportunity. I’ve got plenty to do, plus an unraveled character in the works who I think will give Blade a helluva run for his money.”
It seems Snipes forgot to mention his price tag as a factor as well. Hey… at least the actor is still down to return, right? Personally I’m not going to hold my breath for this one. For the whole interview IGN tapped with Snipes you can click through right over HERE.
