13 Awesome Movie Sequel Pitches That Were Stupidly Scrapped

6. Blade Goes Mad Max - Blade: Trinity

The Pitch: Though unlike most of these movies a third Blade film was actually released back in 2004, it deviated significantly from writer-director David S. Goyer's original vision, which attempted to thrust the Daywalker into a post-apocalyptic, Mad Max-esque hellscape.

50 years in the future, the vampires have won the war against humanity and the small pockets of survivors that remain fight a resistance against the vampire horde. Throw Blade in there and you've got one hell of a way to shake the franchise up, no?

What Happened?: Goyer actually killed this one himself, and in his own words, "it might as well have been Planet of the Apes or something. So I decided to pull back the reins a little.”

It's a damn shame considering how awful the actual Blade: Trinity was, and is apparently part of the reason why Wesley Snipes was so infamously hostile to Goyer on set. It suddenly doesn't seem quite so unreasonable...
