It has long been the word online that Wesley Snipes wasn't the easiest to work with on the set of "Blade: Trinity." The actor supposedly remained in his trailer for most of the shoot, emerging only to film close-ups, thus leaving his stand-ins to do the bulk of the work. Over the years, other stories like him only communicating with director David S. Goyer solely through Post-It notes, attempting to choke him out at one point, and refusing to open his eyes for one scene (resulting in some pretty uncanny CGI eyes) have gained a lot of traction on the Internet. His interactions with Ryan Reynolds have also made the rounds, somewhat explaining Reynolds' disinterest in working with Snipes again.
After stating that many of the claims regarding the tension between himself and Snipes are "overblown," Reynolds recalled to IGN, "My personality is the polar opposite of Wesley. I never met Wesley, I only met Blade, and he is a method actor." He added that he respects Snipes for his method approach to the character and his commitment to the craft, but he could tell that his co-star couldn't stand him. "There's a moment in the movie where I look up at [Jessica Biel] and I swear to God, I didn't even know the cameras were rolling anymore, and I say, 'He hates me, doesn't he?' And she's like, 'Yeah,'" he said, noting that his ad-libbing seemed to get on Snipes' nerves.
