Films are usually completed more quickly than video games. This is why the term 'development hell' is not as common in the film industry. It is unusual for a film to be in production for many years, but there are exceptions. For example, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis has been in the works for 40 years. Another potential candidate is the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Blade.
The movie, featuring a half-vampire fighting demons from hell and other vampires, is facing a difficult production process. Various individuals have been connected to the project, such as the writer, director, and producer. However, many have left due to conflicts in schedules or differences in vision. Despite plans to start filming soon, another director has stepped away from the project.
Yann Demage has resigned from the director position, leading to questions about the film's future and whether it will face further delays.
This peculiar situation has prompted Wesley Snipes, the original Blade, to humorously address the issue on social media. In his post, Snipes mentioned the ongoing quest for the perfect formula and the obstacles faced, comparing it to riding snowmobiles in heavy traffic and emphasizing how Daywalkers (Blade's character) make it look easy.
Considering these recent developments, do you still have high hopes for the Blade film starring Mahershala Ali?
