In a recent social media post, DeMeo shared his assertion, as well as his own reflections on why the studio is having such a hard time rebooting the franchise:
“Make a ‘John Wick’ movie. Put fangs on the gangsters. Change Keanu to Ali and give him a sword instead of giving him a daughter who has to worry about changing the hero’s name.” Wick 》The production cost is 20 mil.
“I don’t understand why it’s so hard. The studio was shattered. I wrote three drafts and a dozen outlines in an impossible three months, and what I loved most was the ‘raid’ style approach that Blade found itself in. A group of vampires are defending a dilapidated human apartment in Vani until dawn.
It happened one night when Blade learned from tenant Jericho Drum that Varney was attacking because the female tenant Blade liked had been miraculously pregnant with Lilith by a tenant who was secretly a member of the Dark Cult. Think 30 Days of Night meets Rosemary’s Baby.
