10 Comic Book Movie Performances ONLY Made Possible By Intense Method Acting
9. Wesley Snipes Never Broke Character...Ever (Blade: Trinity)
One of the few good things to come out of Blade: Trinity was the outrageous stories about Wesley Snipes' on-set behaviour, especially those relayed in recent years by Patton Oswalt, who had a small part in the movie.
According to Oswalt, Snipes clashed with writer-director David S. Goyer to the point that Goyer ended up paying a gang of bikers to pretend to be his security, which reportedly only heightened Snipes' erratic behaviour.
For the rest of the shoot, Snipes would only communicate with Goyer through post-it notes, but here's the kicker: he signed them "from Blade."
Snipes' eccentricity had graduated to slinking deep into the character, to the point that even when tensions got heated on-set, he kept in the Daywalker's headspace.
It was mostly for nothing, though, as the film was pretty terrible and Snipes largely phoned his performance in. Daywalker? Sleepwalker, more like.
