The one thing I have to admit I hated about 'Blade 2' was the useless character named Scud, played by Norman Reedus. Reedus, however, may not be such a bad guy based on the latest news concerning his next project.
Reedus recently started a production company, and is hoping to have 'Blade 2' assistant director/storyboard artist David Barto direct the first movie for the company, which he of course wrote. He's a bit all over the place in the following, so try to keep up....
"It's like you get two kids together, have a pint of Guinness and say, 'What's the ultimate movie you want to write and make?' And we came up with a zombie western! I like horror. I like suspense. The zombies in this movie aren't so much 'Arghh.' It's not that type of thing. It's about going underground in an imaginary city that you find out is not imaginary. There's a sense of claustrophobia. It's a little different. We've got some of the guys who did some of the bullet stuff in The Matrix working on our zombies. One of them had worked on Blade II. So this zombie western is basically a lot of our friends who just want to make a movie. Hopefully, Mickey Rourke will be in it. I've been trying to wine and dine him to do this part he'd be so great for. Kris Kristofferson and Ron Perlman will be in it, and maybe Leonor Varela. We're basically stealing from [Blade II director] Guillermo del Toro in trying to make this movie."
I've said it before: Ron Perlman can do no wrong. Even if it wasn't a zombie western, which makes it all the more appealing, I'd be there opening night anyway. I just hope he can get it made before 'Hellboy' begins, or Reedus may be one 'Blade 2' alum short.
