Blade: Trinity David S. Goyer (who also wrote the screenplays for all three Blade films) gave a career-spanning interview to The Hollywood Reporter and naturally, the infamous story that Patton Oswalt told about Blade star Wesley Snipes choking Goyer during the filming of Blade: Trinity came up.

Goyer gave an oblique reply that has only added even more intrigue to a story that has built on a whole life of its own since Oswalt revealed it almost a decade ago.

The whole thing started in a Random Roles interview Oswalt did with Nathan Rabin in 2012, where he told the following story, "[H]e tried to strangle the director, David Goyer. So later that night, Ron Perlman was in the city. Everyone who makes movies in Vancouver stays in the same hotel. It’s like an episode of The Love Boat. Every time the elevator stops, you’ve got a different celebrity getting on. Like, [announcer voice] 'Hey, now we’ve got Danny Glover!' So we went out that night to some strip club, and we were all drinking. And there were a bunch of bikers there, so David says to them, 'I’ll pay for all your drinks if you show up to set tomorrow and pretend to be my security.' Wesley freaked out and went back to his trailer. [Laughs.] And the next day, Wesley sat down with David and was like, 'I think you need to quit. You’re detrimental to this movie.' And David was like, 'Why don’t you quit? We’ve got all your close-ups, and we could shoot the rest with your stand-in.' And that freaked Wesley out so much that, for the rest of the production, he would only communicate with the director through Post-it notes. And he would sign each Post-it note 'From Blade.'”

Last year, Blade denied the story, stating, "Why do people believe this guy's version of this story? Answer me that. The presumption that one white guy can make a statement and that statement stands as true! Why would people believe his version is true? Because they are predisposed to believing the Black guy is always the problem."

Now, The Hollywood Reporter asked Goyer, "Speaking of fights, I must ask this because the internet needs to know: Is Patton Oswalt’s story true that Wesley Snipes tried to strangle you on the set of Blade: Trinity (which Snipes has denied). If so, what prompted that?"

Goyer replied, "Let’s just say I have tremendous respect for Wesley as an actor. He used to be a friend. We’re not friends anymore. I am friends with Patton, and I worked with Patton since, so … I don’t think anyone involved in that film had a good experience on that film. Certainly, I didn’t. I don’t think anybody involved with that film is happy with the results. It was a very tortured production."

This story looks like it is far from being resolved.
