Deacon Deal

Last October,"Blade" director Stephen Norrington and actor Stephen Dorff revealed that they were working on a new "Blade" prequel trilogy focusing on Deacon Frost, the villain played by Dorff in the original film--as seen in The Sunday Mail ...



Comics2Film now reports that project has become a "Blade" prequel trilogy.

Norrington confirmed the news but added that it is "not exactly how the ['08] article describes but close."

The original concept has since "evolved into a very interesting story...the linkage to 'Blade' is still big in the equation".

While Dorff is a very charismatic guy on screen---Is there really a trilogy's worth of Deacon's story to tell? Unless you somehow work in stars Wesley Snipes and Kris Kristofferson into the mix--I wonder about this idea working all that well...

After finishing his work of "The Crow" remake, Norrington expects this "Blade" follow-up to get going once that's complete.
