The Producers of the series "Blade," should have contacted and consulted with Cartoonist,Writer Producer,Ken Willis. Just like Actor, Wesley Snipes,did before he stole the project right from under Mr. Willis in 1993 at a party thrown by Actress, & BET Producer, Sheila Frazier in Marina delRey California.
An since, it was initially Mr. Willis, who originated the idea to make the comic "Blade" by Marv Wolfeman and Colan, into a motion picture way back during the year of 1977 (with actor, Jim Kelly and Jim Brown in mind for the leading role as "Blade")and also, due to the true fact that Mr. Ken Willis personally hand-picked Actor, Wesley Snipes, to play the leading role of "Blade," before, Mr. Snipes stole the "Blade" project right from under Mr. Willis, and at that point Mr. Snipes then bee lined it to New Line Cinema to produce Mr. Willis "Blade," movie project through his production company Armen Ra' circumventing Mr. Willis, out of "Blade" movie deal and claiming it as his own.
It was Cartoonist, Ken Willis, dream of one day moving to Hollywood and making a movie about his childhood superhero "Blade," way before others who claiming credit for the motion picture even knew the comic book "Blade" name.
Mr. Wesley Snipes, can take away Mr. Willis, fame,fortune, and movie credits. However, there are two things Actor, Wesley Snipes, cannot take away from Mr. Ken Willis, and that is true fact that Actor, Wesley Snipes, was personally hand picked by Mr. Willis and the fact that Mr. Willis was there at the very beginning way before Marvel Inc, had a cue that the African American comic book "Blade" was such a great movie idea that movie goers of all ages around world would truly enjoy. This is not a message to hurt Mr. Wesley Snipes, acting career. But, to tell the absolute truth for Ken Willis, Marv Wolfman,Stan Lee,Colan, New Line Cinema, and the "Blade" comic book many adoring fans who really want to know on how "Blade" truly became a motion picture for the sake of motion picture and comic book history.
It was Marv Wolfman,idea to made "Blade" the comic book, but it was Cartoonist,Writer, Producer, Ken Willis childhood dream that made it a motion picture through actor, Wesley Snipes, greed and desire to become a movie star.
