Cinema Junkie by Beth Accomando

Blade

Blade
Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff  in Blade.

Dracula turned a 100 years old last year but the vampire genre is as vigorous as ever with this month's Blade (written by David Goyer) and John Carpenter's soon to be released Vampires . KPBS film critic Beth Accomando spoke with writer David Goyer at San Diego Comic-Con and has this review of Blade .

Vampires have been a popular subject for film ever since Max Schreck donned fangs for the 1923 classic Nosferatu . When New Line Cinema decided to bring Marvel Comics vampire killing Blade to the screen, writer David Goyer, a self-confessed comic book geek, insisted that he was the only man for the job.
