Principal photography for Blade II began, marking the start of the production phase of the movie.
Wesley Snipes was confirmed to reprise his role as Blade. Other key cast members, including Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman, and Norman Reedus, were also cast during this period.
New Line Cinema officially announced the development of Blade II as a sequel to the successful 1998 vampire action film Blade.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
