Though Fincher dropped out, his pitch left an impression on Blade writer David S. Goyer.
A little-known fact about 1998's superhero movie Blade movie is that writer David S. Goyer originally developed it with director David Fincher. Fincher is known these days as an award-winning director who, over the course of his 30-year career, has helmed such iconic films as Seven, Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Social Network, and Gone Girl.
Blade and the Marvel Cinematic UniverseBlade, starring Wesley Snipes as the titular vampire hunter, came out during a dark time for Marvel. The company was bankrupt, and outsourcing its characters to studios like New Line Cinema , 20th Century Fox , and Sony Pictures helped keep them afloat. Now, most of those characters are under the Marvel Studios banner, including Blade, with a reboot Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali gestating.
Blade's Cast and CrewStephen Norrington directed Blade from Goyer's script. Wesley Snipes starred as Blade, a.k.a. Eric Brooks, a daywalker vampire hunter created for Marvel comics by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan in the pages of Tomb of Dracula in 1973.
