Blade 3 Casting
Van Wilder and the Huntress join the vampire slaying flick.
August 21, 2003 - According to today's Variety and Hollywood Reporter, two young thespians have joined the cast of the third (and probably final) film in the Blade series, currently titled Blade: Trinity. And there's also word of a potential spin-off...
The trades scoop that actor Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder, The In-Laws) is in talks to portray vampire hunter Hannibal King in the film, and that the lovely Ashley Scott (Birds of Prey, S.W.A.T.) may be joining the cast as Whistler's daughter, a female vampire hunter. Both actors join Wesley Snipes who is reprising his role as the title character.
THR describes Hannibal King as "an acerbic vampire hunter who is in league with" Blade, while Variety reveals that Blade 3 "calls for the Hannibal character to team closely with a female vampire hunter." That would be the role that Scott is up for.
The big news is that these two fresh-faced characters may be spun-off into their own vampire hunting film(s) after Blade has run its course.
David Goyer, who wrote the two previous films in the series, is writing, directing and producing the third installment in the New Line franchise based on the Marvel Comics characters. The film is tentatively targeted at a mid-2004 release.
