@NeverForget1776 Жыл бұрын

I assume you mean teh 2006 BLADE: The Series. That was made by SPppi9ke TV and clearly on a low budget which was part of its problem, not b/c it didn't feature Snipes. If a Netflix made BLADE live action series got the budget they gave Resident Evil and it was handled by quality showrunner/writers it wouldn't require Snipes to be successful. Snipes is also getting too old to pull of that role. Blade is a vampire who ages very slowly and Snipes is just too old to pull that off. I imagine he probably is interested into teh training he'd have to do to perform teh role. It has been 20 years since he played Blade.

Wesley could easily be a horror movie narrator, or a horror story teller. He has such a unique talent and it’s no surprise that the actor who plays the role Blade has INSANELY HUGE boots to fill. Wesley one of the greatest actors of all time in my opinion. This man came from a cloth of actors who all had a unique flavour unlike today.

11:17 Um what kind of question is that with context to the dialog preceding: Obviously for a black person to not see themselves represented in Hollywood would be an immediate and involuntary thing "to give thought to". For someone to be so unfortunately brainwashed to think that it's normal for people to almost never see their own likeness up on a big screen illustrates how horrible the effects of lack of diversity is on ALL audiences - hence someone being so normalized to seeing only white characters- that the wherewithal to deduce that someone "non-white" would not be affected by the absence of their own image - is a weird affliction that needs to be attended to in many of us. it's the reason so many "white people" loved and cheered for John Travolta in the 70's b/c he was a nice dancer among a department where black people held that dominance.
