To say that the past few years have not been kind to Wesley Snipes is a dramatic understatement. His star has fallen hard due to a mix of legal trouble, ego, and questionable decision making but Snipes still has the goods to produce good work if only he can get into the right projects. And maybe this is it. Word is out that Snipes is reuniting with King of New York director Abel Ferrara for already in-production action picture Game Of Death. Snipes plays a political bodyguard trying to protect his boss from assassination and while that plot line is certainly nothing unusual and Ferrara - if we're being honest - also seems to be past his best days, this is still at least a sign that Snipes is trying to get back to his roots and work with quality people.
LOL - pretty funny for a guy whose highest profile activity of late has been throwing hissy fits over an in-name-only sequel to a movie he did 17 years ago to make a movie called GAME OF DEATH.
I think he needs to go back to his comedy days for a bit; get people to like him again and then start doing these types of movies. He was so cool back in the day...it's sad really.
I don't know if he'll ever be able to escape his reputation...evading taxes is one thing, but evading taxes and then playing the victim is ridiculous. And then being granted special permission to travel around the world while on bail awaiting his appeal.... I really used to like the guy, but it's hard to respect him these days.
What I want to know is: When can I watch GallowWalker?
