Last year,
Sundaymail.uk posted a story about Stephen Dorff wanting to do a spinoff of the Blade series. A prequel if you will featuring his Deacon Frost character:
The actor told us: "It will be a prequel to the Blade movies, Deacon's story. It's a new trilogy the director has created. It will cool.
"We hope to shoot the first film next year. Frost is a character I have never been able to shake."
Things have been quiet on the Blade prequel spinoff whatever it is thingy until recently when Mania caught up with director Stephen Norrington who said he's planning on returning to the Blade franchise as soon as he's done ****ing up remaking The Crow:
Now Norrington told Comics2Film at Mania.com exclusively that he is planning a return to the 'Blade' franchise following his work on the new reinvention of 'The Crow'.
His leading man of choice is Stephen Dorff, who co-starred as the megalomaniacal Deacon Frost in the film. Of course, Frost apparently died at the end of the first movie as Blade cut him down just as he was about to transform into a vampire god.
Dorff told UK's The Sunday Mail that the new movie would be "a prequel to the Blade movies, Deacon's story. It's a new trilogy the director has created. It will [be] cool."
Norrington confirmed the news although said the movie is "not exactly how the article describes but close."
The director credits Dorff with coming up with the idea for the new project, which "has evolved into a very interesting story."
