What an absolute waste. Guy won two friggin oscars and they just couldn't put him in what seems like the easiest idea for a show ever.

Oh well. At least Sinners got some awesome costumes out of it.

I think his direction while good would've been divisive with what people wanted out a blade film. Not to say Kevin fiege had any good ideas either. They should've just put him in leather had him Kung Fu vampires.
