Arcane was in production hell for like 6 years and according to the documentary on its making the story got scraped and rewritten at least once. Sometimes it works. Arcane is so good.
And The Hobbit (respect to Del Toro for giving up before it was too late).
And Justice League (even if, after Dawn of the Dead and 300, Snyder never did a good one again).
the last I heard of Blade was that it was going to be a cut-rate production and that “the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons, with Blade relegated to the fourth lead” but that was apparently dropped? I don’t follow Disney/MCU like at all, but I came across this story and it stuck with me because it was kinda bizarre.
I think I’m referring more to his face shape. Like Wesley Snipes’ face shape changed as he got older. But I also didn’t realise the new guy was 50, Hollywood is a crazy place.
Between this and Borderlands, movies being in production hell forever seems to usually be a bad sign. Now I’m getting worried about Blade…
Some productions are always trying to ice skate uphill.

I mean yeah, they’ve already gone through 2 directors and it’s in limbo again. Not a good sign

Blade? Did they bring Wesley Snipes back? Haven’t seen that guy since Expendables 2 and they did him dirty with the CGI Parkour.
No it’s someone called Mahershala Ali. With the sunglasses on he does actually look quite a lot like a young Wesley Snipes.

I heard that, too, but it’s changed writers like 3-4 times so it’s probably different now lol.
That’s incredibly generous. The guy’s already 50 years old. 15 years older than Snipes was in the original Blade!
