EXCLUSIVE! STEPHEN DORFF TALKS ABOUT POSSIBLE “BLADE” SPIN-OFF

Actor Stephen Dorff, currently receiving plaudits for his role in the Sofia Coppola film Somewhere, recently updated The DLB on rumours that he and his Blade director Steve Norrington were thinking of revisiting the character in a prequel:

“Yeah, well, that was something we were talking about. Me and Steve Norrington had a cool treatment for that, and when vampires got all this trending again, we thought we should do the adult version, more of like a Scarface Deacon Frost movie. And it sounded cool, this treatment, but then there was so many legal things. Like New Line owned Blade and Marvel’s got… all this hype into “The Avengers” and this group movie which sounds like such a mistake. And Blade was such a ‘90s thing. I didn’t want to do a Blade movie, I just really wanted to take Deacon and do then do a whole other thing which was much more today. So the idea me and Steve had, we might just end up fictionalizing it and just making a new character which might even be better for us. And he’s someone I really like and would love to work with again. So hopefully whenever we get a chance we’ll get into that.”
