MOVIES: Del Toro Vamps For Blade 2
|
Blade 2 director Guillermo del Toro told the
Popcorn U.K. Web site that he finished shooting the vampire sequel four weeks ago and is busy editing it. "I really, really, really love the thing," he told the site. "I'm enjoying myself like crazy."
Del Toro said that he had tried to make Blade 2 a "fun martial-arts horror combo." The vampires won't resemble the "Tom Cruise-in-dreadlocks, languishing-by-the-side-of-Brad-Pitt" image they have acquired, he added. "I wanted a really nasty, animalistic vampire that's like a human leech and that would again make you repulsed by the possibility of being drained," he said. "It's only in modern times that we've come to glorify vampirism. I wanted to make it scary again, to make it almost icky. Hopefully people will go, 'Oh my God, I don't want to be sucked by that f--ing thing!'"

GAMES: Buffy Kicks Onto Xbox
|
Electronic Arts' video-game version of UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer series will come to the Xbox gaming platform, not the PC, the IGN Xbox Web site reported. The game's story will take place between the third and fourth seasons of the show, when the Scooby Gang is still at Sunnydale High.
Buffy will be the only playable character in the game, but all of the other major characters will pop up, with the exception of Oz, the site reported. Buffy cast members, except for lead Sarah Michelle Gellar, will provide voices. Angel will also make an appearance. The villians will include the Master.
The Buffy game is slated for release sometime in early 2002, IGN reported.

Goyer To Script Blade 3
|
David Goyer—who wrote the scripts for the first
two Blade movies—will write and produce Blade 3 for New Line, Variety reported. The studio has struck a deal with Goyer to go ahead with the third installment of the vampire franchise, which is based on the Marvel Comics series Blade the Vampire Hunter, the trade paper reported.
"After Blade 3, I'm done writing for other directors," Goyer told the trade paper. "I've had enough frustrations over 10 years that I've realized I can do it myself." Stephen Norrington directed the first Blade film.
Blade 2, directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Wesley Snipes and Kris Kristofferson, premieres in March 2002. Goyer has previously written screenplays for Dark City and The Crow and directed Zig Zag, a coming-of-age story of a young boy with a learning disability and an abusive father.
