Deacon Frost Takes the Spolight in New ‘Blade’ Trilogy?
Because there already isn’t enough news today, The Sunday Mail is reporting that Blade director Stephen Norrington and Stephen Dorff – who played Deacon Frost in the first film – are teaming up for a potential prequel! Dorff tells the mag, “It will be a prequel to the Blade movies, Deacon’s story. It’s a new trilogy the director has created. It will be cool,” he continues, “We hope to shoot the first film next year. Frost is a character I have never been able to shake.” The site spelled Dorff’s name wrong and has plenty of other errors, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be bunk.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
