Del Toro Gushes BLADE 2

BLADE 2 helmer Guillermo del Toro is talking about how he approached directing the coming Wesley Snipes starring sequel based on the Marvel Comics character.

While talking to SCREEN INTERNATIONAL, del Toro revealed, "I was attracted to the idea of making vampires scary again. They have become almost gothic romance heroes a la Anne Rice. I wanted to find the animal component again: something that just wants to drink your blood and kill you.

"The style I like is a more contemplative and atmospheric approach. But in BLADE 2 I am doing action and horror, so it's a good combination. I'm making the camera much freer."
