Blade Babe Bagged

By all accounts Blade 3 is shaping up nicely with several cast members now in place but, up till now, something has been missing. That elusive element is of course a suitably stunning female lead to help take Blade's fight to the vampires. Jessica Biel is the lovely lady enlisted by David Goyer for Blade: Trinity. Fresh from roles on The Rules of Attraction and the upcoming remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Biel will play the role of vampire huntress Abigail, the daughter of Kris Kristofferson's Whistler. While Blade: Trinity once more pits Wesley Snipes and his allies against the armies of the undead, the vampires have caught up with the times in this instalment and launch a smear campaign against our hero, painting him as a sociopath and putting the police on his tail. Finding his slaying capacity somewhat hampered by Johnny law, Blade enlists the help of Abigail and Ryan Reynold's Hannibal King (harking back to the Nightstalkers comic spin-off, for the geeks among you) to even the odds. Throw in even more gore-streaked carnage, an uber-vamp called Drake (a modernised moniker for one Count Dracula) and this should keep Blade, Buffy and bloodshed fans happy in equal measure.
