Tracey,
Good call on Idris Elba. He'd be a good choice.
Chiwetel Ejiofor showed some good action hero cred in Serenity and he
definitely has the acting chops.
As far as Michael Jai White. I was thinking of his performances in
Thick As Thieves, Undisputed 2 and the stuff from Kill Bill that
I like Chiwetel too. Not that it is related, but I think he is
extremely versatile and plays a conflicted part well. I saw him in a
movie in which he was a straight transvestite and in Children of men.
He was excellent in both. I also like Djimon Hounsou for the part. He
does conflicted

Dirty Pretty Things made me a Chiwetel fan. He does conflicted very
well. He and Idris Elba are on in their early 30s and that's about the
age Wesley Snipes was when the first Blade was filmed.
Tyrese comes off way too lightweight(acting wise) to pull off these
kinds of roles. The keep mentioning
That is the first thing I saw Chiwetel in. He was great. I've been
hooked ever since. He dominates every role he is in. I don't wasn't
Tyrese. UGH!!!
I mentioned him and Biel, because that sounds like a casting choice the
studio heads might make.

Why
Blade 2 is cheesy? More cheese please.
I know Snipes legal troubles and onset behavior are the main reasons
he won't get to play the role again but I hate the Hollywood trend of
casting for young and hot.
If it was a perfect world I'd cast Michael Jai White. I imagine he's
too old for
Holy Highlander!
Why is it necessary to reboot this series? It¹s an ongoing story. We¹ve all
seen the first one. If ³Superman² has taught us nothing else...there¹s no
need to retell a story we already know. Just pick up where you left off
and keep it movin¹.

I was thinking the same. However the third movie, in which Blade was a
supporting character was cheesy. Besides Blade III, which was only a
couple of years ago. However, if they did it, my vote would be for the
Brother who was in Ultra Violet

A reboot. No. despite that it's looking more and more likey that Snipes
wont return to the role. So IMO what they should do is to recast a new Blade
in
the same form as the old one. Then continue on after the first two blade
movies which really defined the character. Bring back the

I was thinking that. He's ok as a supporting actor, but he can't carry
a picture and I'm definitely not feeling Blade from him

that crap that was Blade 3 was obviously an attempt to see if the young white
kids could take over the franchise. I thought they were silly. Jessica Biel as
usual was trying to hard (still in that I'm more than the girl from 'Seventh
Heaven' mode), and the dude was funny, but not a replacement
yeah, he's a bit too bulky for the look, and doesn't smolder in the way I see
Blade doing. Like i said, if it must be recast, let's get an unknown.

I was thinking that. He's
agreed. i don't see Jai White for the role. Man, here's a a concept: how about
casting the net wide for the *best* actor, not the actors with some kind of
name recognition? One of my greatest joys in going to the movies is seeing a
completely unknown actor in a role. Usually, we're so used to
