Script Report: BLADE 3
May 12th, 2004
In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, DAvid Goyer has revealed a few unused scenes he wrote for "Blade" 1 and 2 that made it into "Blade 3." Quoted from the Source:
David Goyer, who steps behind the camera to direct "Blade: Trinity" after writing the scripts for the first two Blade movies, told SCI FI Wire that he is putting things in this sequel that were left out of the previous two installments. "One of the things I did was I put scenes in this movie that were ... cut out from the first two films," Goyer said in an interview while editing the movie at Henson Studios in Hollywood.
"I decided to do that scene, but like a hundred times bigger," Goyer said. "There were only four bodies or something like that [the first time around], and so we kind of did that version of the movie, but there's literally thousands and thousands of bodies. It's just really big.">
There's also a car chase originally scripted for Blade II that will start this film off with a bang. "We never really used [Blade's 1968 Dodge] Charger in any real kind of action sequences, and I always loved that sequence. So I literally took that nine-, 10-page sequence and made it the beginning of this movie. It was its own thing, and so it would work in either [film]. ...This whole long extended car chase scene, where Blade is in the Charger, there are vampires in cars and on motorcycles with machine guns, it's just mayhem, and the cars are rolling over and exploding, and he's running vampires down. ... I'm a big fan of the car chases in The French Connection and Bullitt, so it was done very old-school. I like it. It's got this kind of seventies feel to it. It's decidedly not Michael Bay."
