Goyer on BLADE 2 and 3

"I had read the TOMB OF DRACULA comics when I was a kid and I was familiar with Blade and really liked Blade when I was young," BLADE 2 screenwriter David Goyer recently revealed. "When I heard New Line was initially interested in doing a BLADE movie I called my agent and said, 'You gotta get me in there.'"

Goyer made the comments to Comics 2 Film, and he has his eye not just on BLADE 2, but on the next one coming down the line. Unlike the original Wesley Snipes vampire actioner, BLADE 2 tells the story of a truce between Blade and the vampire world, as both go after an even more dangerous super-vampire which preys on the ordinary vampires Blade makes a living killing. Goyer is looking for an even more radical story for BLADE 3.

"What I really want to do for the third one is set it about 20 years in the future and the vampires have actually completely taken over the world, so they are the status quo," Goyer said. "Because Blade is actually half-vampire, he ages at a slower rate, so Wesley can still play himself. In all these different stories the vampires are trying to take over the world. For the third film I just want to say, 'fuck it' they've won. Now what is the world like?"
