David Goyer, executive producer and co-writer of the Blade televison movie for Spike TV, told The Continuum there's a week left of shooting in Vancouver, British Columbia.

"It's going very well," Goyer said of the film, which is serving as a pilot for Blade series.

Kirk "Sticky" Jones, former front man of Onyx, takes over from Wesley Snipes as Blade.

"Sticky is awesome as Blade," Goyer said. "Very charismatic. Different than Wes, but cool."

Goyer wrote all three Blade films and directed Blade: Trinity. He wrote the TV movie with former JSA comics partner Geoff Johns.

Goyer confirmed that the story is set in Detroit; he Johns are both originally from Southeastern Michigan.

"Although locals will not recognize any landmarks," he said.

Blade won't be on the air until June, but Spike TV is already promoting the show -- both as part of its 2006 lineup and in a spot on its own.

Looks good!

I'll need to see the trailer for myself to decide. After seeing Blade I lost my trust in David Goyer's writting ability. Either way I don't watch much TV -_-

A Blade show without Wesley Snipes just can't be good.

So.... this tv show.. is it an continuation of the movies? More specifically, is it going to be a prequel or sequel to the movie trilogy?

Like Benny I'll give it a try. I liked the movies ok and watched Buffy anmd Angel...but I have to agree that Blade sans Snipes just doesn't feel the same...

Hmmmm, interesting, very interesting, well, I'll give it a shot, can't expect that much though....I guess.
