Blade remake?

Full Story: http://joblo.com/blade-remake
This little 'news' piece sounds like fairly spectacular and almost completely unsubstantiated rumor, but reading about it, raises what I feel is an interesting debate. The latest word on the rumor-mill is that BLADE is going to go the way of HULK and BATMAN and undergo a reboot of the franchise. The story comes by way of Bloody-Disgusting. Now, I hate this idea, I think that the first BLADE film was by far the best of the trilogy, and probably one of my favourite films to watch on a quiet Saturday night. After that, I felt that the films got progressively worse and I just don't want to see anyone other than Wesley Snipes play the guy. But from what I can tell, a lot of people seem to think that not only is a reboot a horrible idea, but some kind of cop-out. Personally, I think that the reboot (as a concept) is a potentially great idea. Sure it could swing and miss spectacularly, but if we look at, for example, BATMAN BEGINS, that film was neither lazy nor a failure. It was completely new. As is Norton's version of HULK, it's a reboot, but he's not retreading the film that Ang Lee made, in fact it's not even an origin story! I don't think that choosing to reboot a franchise signals that a studio just wants to pump more money out of a concept that has already run its course, I think that it means someone has identified that there is a new (possibly better) direction to go with a character and wants to explore it. And in this case, the source of this story claims that it is the comic property and not the studio which wants this to happen, anyway.

    no question, it is a shitty idea, blade was prob the best action film ever made, along with the first matrix. remaking it would ruin its repuatation and spoil it

    Remake Blade? The first film was pretty much solely responsible for making ok to do comic book films again, so why touch it?

    I'd rather see Snipes play Luke Cage: Power Man.

    Why remake a film triology that isn't even a decade old. It's like hollywood is done with the sequels, now they're looking for do-overs. What's next a do-over for "the Matrix"(the sequels yes, the 1st no). LEAVE THE BLADE TRILOGY ALONE!!!!

    I love the Blade trilogy! Snipes is what made the series good and anyone in that role would probably just make it a joke! I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! lol

    It's also funny that I noticed that you and pete and everyone else that downrates other peoples stories are from england, and pete has (at this time) only has 2 friends, and you sir, have (at this time) no friends. SexiVixxen does not need to take over anything on flixster, she only puts up news stories for everyones enjoyment, not to be the top of everything. So, whatever your quest is here on flixster, maybe you should just hang it up and try another website to be the king of. And for the Admins of this site, I am waiting for the flags as usual because I defended my wife, and other people can obviously talk trash and get away with it.

    Well, Malcolm. I have notice that you have been only a member for only 20 days, so I guess you haven't realized that SexiVixxen has been around for quite some time posting news stories for awhile as well. Also, if you haven't also noticed that Petes1 has been trying to take over the whole news section himself with all his news stories, and sometimes copying off other peoples news stories to claim as his own, rating the stories himself, and down rating everyone elses to stay at the top. But of course, you probably already know that, because you probably are pete (or whoever). I say that because of the several accounts that this particular person has made. The thing is, SexiVixxen doesn't need to make several accounts to vote herself to the top unlike you do, Other users do vote for her stuff. SexiVixxen does actually put alot of work that she does here on flixster, I know this because she is my wife and I dont appreciate the things that you have said.
