Norrington hasn't had huge success since Blade and back in December I reported that he was planning on re-doing a movie based on James O'Barr's The Crow. Now eleven years later, it appears that a Blade spin-off is in the work. Is the time right to return to the Blade universe?
Norrington and Dorff think so. The idea is to steer clear of Blade and focus on Stephen Dorff's character, Deacon Frost. But wait, didn't he die in Blade? Yes he did. Dorff told the UK's Sunday Mail that the spin-off would be a prequel to the Blade movies. It seems that Norrington also plans on making this a trilogy. Norrington also credits Dorff in coming up with the idea.
As badass as Dorff was as Deacon Frost, could a movie based on his story work? Also, it'd have to be a big sell in order to make a trilogy out of it. I have to wonder about when this would get started. Dorff is currently working on a Sofia Coppola movie while Norrington is working on The Crow. I don't think Dorff ages the same way that Vampires do so they need to get moving on this. I suppose make-up and/or CG could be used to make Dorff appear as he did eleven years ago.
Are you interested in a movie based on the Deacon Frost character? Would a movie about this douchey vampire work? Will anyone even remember his character after all these years?
