Star Trek: Wesley Snipes on Losing Geordi La Forge Role

New DVD release, , , ,
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away – wait, sorry, nope, wrong franchise. Let’s start again. Long, long ago in an era called ‘the late 80s’, Wesley Snipes was almost cast as Geordi La Forge, the helmsman of the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation who would go on to become its chief engineer. After the audition process for the Next Generation character wrapped, Snipes would end up losing the part of Geordi to Roots actor LeVar Burton, which he has now admitted he was pretty disappointed about. “Not as disappointed as I was not…

Wesley Snipes Suggests Patton Oswalt Lied About His Violent Blade: Trinity Conduct

New DVD release, , , , , ,
David S. Goyer’s Blade: Trinity marked the end of Wesley Snipes’ big screen tenure as Marvel’s iconic vampire hunter. The 2004 superhero horror movie was allegedly plagued with issues during its production, and some of those reports were fuelled years ago by comedian Patton Oswalt, who starred alongside Snipes in the middling threequel. Oswalt told AV Club back in 2012 that Snipes acted strangely throughout filming on Blade: Trinity and even “tried to strangle” its director at one point. The Guardian has raised these claims in a new interview with the 58-year-old actor, who denies them. “Let me tell you…
