10 Film Sequels And Spin-Offs That Should Never Have Happened
7. Blade: Trinity
David S Goyer is a screenwriting legend whose credits (Batman Begins, Dark City) speak for themselves, but every so often his reach will extend his grasp and he'll churn out a movie like Blade: Trinity.
In case you don't remember, this is the one where Dracula is discovered in Iraq and, because it seemed like a good idea at the time, played by Prison Break's Dominic Purcell. Blade gets two new sidekicks in the form of Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds but, disappointingly for the writer who brought Batman and Superman into the Twenty-first century, Goyer makes little attempt made to extend the Blade universe. The behind the scenes stories, however, are fascinating.
According to Patton Oswalt, who plays tech guy Hedges, relations between Goyer and Wesley Snipes were so strained that the star attempted to strangle him on set, prompting the filmmaker to hire a biker gang hed met in a strip club as bodyguards. Director and star communicated through post-it notes for the rest of the shoot (Wesley signed his from Blade), with a stand-in fulfilling the actors duties while Snipes smoked weed in his trailer.
