Snipes said of making the original “Blade” trilogy, “We were white belts then, wait until you see now what we do as black belts,” alluding to a new action movie that “is going to smoke all of the ‘Blade’ stuff.” What is the project? “It’s what we call our ‘Blade’-killer, our ‘Blade’ on steroids,” Snipes said. “And we set our character in the world of shape-shifters and a little bit of time travel. But the action is going to be…Well, we did white belt action in ‘Blade.’ Now we’re going to do black belt action.” “It’s wonderful what we did [on ‘Blade’], but, brother, we’re so much better than we were then. So much better now than we were then,” Snipes continued. “Yes, indeed. And we’ve got more tools. Some of the things that were innovated in the ‘Blade’ franchise in the first film are now standard in the Marvel universe and all of these other action movies. And the technology allows them to do a lot of things we couldn’t do then. Now give us the technology, and we’ve already got the skills and the flavor. It’s popping, baby!” Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news! Sign up for our Email Newsletters here.
