Blade Trinity – a whole new Game
December 6, 2004
By Anthony Cali
Triple
H sat down with WWE.com this past Tuesday to discuss his role in the upcoming action/
adventure movie Blade Trinity
"The whole experience was great,” the Evolution leader said.
“To work with people like Snipes, Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel,
David S. Goyer (Blade: Trinity’s writer/director), was
phenomenal. If you had to pick a first experience in Hollywood, you
couldn’t pick a better way to do it, because they were all great.
Everyone was really helpful, we had a lot of fun on the set, and Goyer
was just awesome to work for.”
In the third-installment of the comic-based production, Triple H plays
an evil vampire assassin named Grimwood, who goes toe-to-toe with the
vampire hunter, Blade (played by Snipes). And while fans may think
“The Game” has some maniacal tendencies, nothing compares
to how evil his blood-sucking alter-ego can be.
"You know it’s funny, it’s playing a character, but the
same intensity is still there,” the Greenwich, CT resident said
while sitting back in a black leather couch located inside the
Evolution locker room. “That’s really what I brought to the
table, so I think that if you have that, then you’re good to
go.”
Last week, Triple H went to the film’s premiere in Toronto, and
this week, he will be traveling to Los Angeles to attend another
premiere. And when you factor in book signings across the US, as well
as his already hectic WWE schedule, the “Cerebral Assassin”
has been kept pretty busy.
"Going to the premiere in Toronto was pretty cool,” Triple H
admitted. “I was actually just keeping my fingers crossed that
the movie was good when I watched it. But it was a pretty cool
experience overall, and so far the reviews of the movie have been good,
and the reviews of my part have been good, so who knows, there might be
more.”
Now that he’s had his first taste of action movies, some fans
have begun to wonder if Triple H, like fellow Raw Superstar, The Rock,
may be considering a fill-time jump into the silver screen. Ironically,
at the Mr. Olympia contest in late October, Triple H even served as a
guest host with legendary action movie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Sylvester Stallone, but despite all of the accusations, the 9-1/2 year
WWE veteran claims that he isn’t going anywhere.
"Again, as I’ve said in the past,” he continued,
“I’m not looking to leave this business at all, and
wrestling is still my top priority. My resume is always going to say
WWE Superstar at the top – it’s not going to say Hollywood
actor, or anything else. Sure, all the other things are great, and
it’s a natural extension to use these big-time movies to elevate
the status of wrestling – which is what I intend to do –
but no, I don’t intend to leave wrestling any time soon.
‘The Game’ is here to stay.”
