Wesley Snipes is suing New Line cinema over Blade: Trinity. Apparently this law suit is for over 5 million dollars. The suit claims that his contract was violated when the script, director and cast were forced upon him. Snipes says that he didn't know that David Goyer (who had wrote the other two instalments of the Blade trilogy) would be directing Blade: Trinity until 6 weeks before photography. He goes on to say that Goyer was a "disastrous choice" and that he didn't have time to object to the "juvenile humour" in the screenplay before shooting started. Snipes also complains that the real purpose of the film was to create spin off characters for New Line.
Wesley Snipes also states racism as he says that unlike the first two Blades, which had multi-racial crews, this one was a whites-only affair which left Snipes feeling isolated. He also claims that Goyer made racially motivated statements about Snipes being unprofessional and difficult to work with, and that Goyer refused to discipline a crew member who wore a racially discriminatory T-shirt on the set!
Is it me or is Wesley Snipes just totally mad?
