As a long-time fan of Blade, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgic excitement when I think about Wesley Snipes reprising his iconic role. The behind-the-scenes stories from the original film, like the Blood Rave scene, only make me appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into making those movies.
Earlier mentioned, the original character Blade, portrayed by Wesley Snipes, left everyone stunned in an amazing manner when he repeated his iconic performance in the blockbuster movie Deadpool & Wolverine. Given Snipes’ popularity, it makes sense that fans are ecstatic about him reprising the role. Moreover, there have been rumors – following his cameo – that he might appear again in a last standalone film. Yet, this hasn’t been officially announced.
As a die-hard gamer, I’m buzzing with excitement over Blade! The internet’s abuzz with fans ecstatic about Wesley Snipes stepping back into one of his iconic roles. They can’t seem to let go of the topic, and who can blame them? Diving deeper, I stumbled upon an old interview hinting that this movie might not have seen the light of day. Quite a twist, right?
During an extensive conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Peter Frankfurt (producer), David S. Goyer (writer), Wesley Snipes (actor) along with other cast and team members unveiled a wealth of intriguing behind-the-scenes facts about the original Blade film and its subsequent sequels.
You might recall that the opening scene of the movie, often referred to as the “Blood Rave“, is a memorable moment and one of the most impactful scenes across the entire trilogy. Intrigued by this, EW spoke with the film’s crew about how they created this scene, and here are some insights we uncovered:
GREG (PRODUCTION DESIGNER): We spent an eternity searching for the ideal location, but eventually discovered an old, dilapidated meatpacking factory – a place where they’d brutally process animals. It had extensive white tiles that we weathered slightly and added some stylish lighting. Essentially, we set up the entire set much like a contemporary sprinkler system would work.
LATHAN: When the blood comes down, woooh! I mean who would have thought of that?
THEO VAN DE SANDE (CINEMATOGRAPHER): That particular scene has gained quite a following. We filmed for three days, and let me tell you, it wasn’t exactly pleasant. We were wearing these bright yellow, inexpensive raincoats. After just two minutes of shooting, the sleeves would come off! [Laughs]
In a different version: The extras had to endure waiting around in the blood-soaked scenes. If you were one of those eager ones who volunteered to be up front, “Pick me! I’m ready!” it wasn’t easy. [Laughs] They couldn’t switch costumes during lunch or clean themselves up, for continuity purposes. I have nothing but admiration for them. Thank you so much. I appreciate them then and I appreciate them now.
Some are still deeply affected by the incident, as they had a sense that something unpleasant would happen to them, but they didn’t anticipate the extent of it. And some individuals reacted strongly when the unexpected substance was unveiled! It wasn’t real blood, it wasn’t like the movie “Carrie,” correct? Yet, they panicked and departed, choosing not to continue. Essentially, their response was, “I’m done.”
VAN DE SANDE: Prior to the movie’s release, one of the background actors filed a lawsuit against New Line Cinema due to him contracting a skin disease, they claimed. But rest assured, it’s not accurate because if that were true, I would have passed away long ago. [Laughs]
FRANKFURT: A multitude of entertaining, exciting add-ons surrounded us. Notably, Traci Lords graced our presence. She was remarkably cooperative, lively, and enjoyable.
As a fan, I can tell you firsthand that the filming experience was far from ideal. It was a real chaos. The entire set seemed sticky, and the crew too. Not to mention the unpleasant odor! Oh, the heat was unbearable. That corn syrup, it wasn’t exactly pleasant either.
LOGUE: I argued to not be in the blood itself. I was just kind of off to the side. [Laughs]
