*Wesley Snipes, who starred in the Blade franchise consisting of three movies, won’t be attached to the lead role of “Blade 4.”
Instead, he announced recently a big-screen action-film project that he is spearheading titled, “Indigo.” He described “Indigo” as “Foxy Brown meets Mission Impossible.”
“Foxy Brown” is a 1974 movie that featured Pam Grier. In the action-packed film, Grier, as Foxy Brown, was the kick-ass, one-woman wrecking crew that couldn’t be stopped by the bad guys. Grier is considered to be the first and greatest female action film star of all time. Grier, who combined beauty with physicality in “Foxy Brown” and numerous other movies, won’t be easy to duplicate. Yet, Snipes is on the hunt.
“We are looking for new talent and want to discover a new female action star, a woman of color, and a bunch of her girlfriends who do their La Femme Nikita thing,” Snipes said recently on the podcast broadcast, “Life is…with Damien King Lee.

According to Snipes, he is looking for the perfect female action star wherever she is.
“We are doing a global virtual casting,” said Snipes. “We have a body movement specialist, where we would take them through a training program, bringing a grand masters from various disciplines like martial arts, dance, cinematography, directing; all of the things that go into the qualities that you need to become an action star. We will have all of that Blade-esque mixed, hybrid type of action content.
As far as Blade 4 is concerned, Snipes, who won’t be in it, supports the casting of Mahershala Ali as vampire vigilante Blade.
“Congratulations and Salaam (peace) to Mahershala Ali, a beautiful and talented artist whose expressions I look forward to experiencing for many years to come,” said Snipes. Inshallah (God willing), we will someday work together.”
