Wesley Snipes - Snipes 'Threatened To Kill' Director

Actor WESLEY SNIPES threatened to kill BLADE TRINITY director DAVID GOYER because he felt his all action character had been sidelined to make room for two new ones.

The 42-year-old's co-stars, RYAN REYNOLDS and JESSICA BIEL, recently complained he had alienated himself from everyone working on the third installment of the vampire-fest, by remaining in character for the entire duration of the shoot.

And movie insiders tell British magazine OK! that Snipes was so furious about his marginalised role, he made physical threats against Goyer.

An insider confides, "Wesley made death threats against David. David was scared for his life."

But a spokesperson for Goyer counters, "Wesley is a method actor. There's always a lot of tension on set."
