Blade TV Series coming Next June

This week, writer/director/producer David Goyer told the SciFiWire that he's producing an hour-long action series based on the Blade movie trilogy (for which he wrote all three screenplays, and directed the final installment) for Spike TV, set to debut in June 2006.

He said the that the series will be "different" than the movies and not star Wesley Snipes. Goyer is co-writing the pilot with fellow comics writer Geoff Johns (the two teamed on the JSA comic series).13 episodes have been ordered.

Goyer, who wrote the screenplay for Batman Begins, is also executive producer on a new SF series debuting in the fall for CBS called Threshold. In addition, Goyer is curently developing The Flash as a movie for Warner Bros. He is set to write and direct this latest DC superhero to hit the big screen.

Finally, Goyer recently "had a meeting" with Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan about a sequel to this summer's supehero hit. He would say no more on that subject.

Its a nice time to be David Goyer.
