That movie spawned three sequels I can only hope “Bloodshot”’s bloodline ends here.Īdding insult to injury, the screenwriters do that self-defensive meta thing that drives me up the damn wall, where they have characters acknowledge “hey, we’re ripping this particular movie off” and “hee-hee-hee! Aren’t these genre tropes that we’re using really dumb and tired?” There’s such insincerity and passive-aggressive cowardice in this approach it either invites the audience to feel superior to the material or worse, it acknowledges that the filmmakers know they are peddling an inferior product to the consumer and they think you’re a sucker for buying it. The most noticeable influence is “Universal Soldier,” a film that shares so many plot elements that “Bloodshot” can be classified as a blatant rip-off. Films like “ Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” “Robocop” and “Total Recall” are thrown into a blender and the diluted, flavorless results leave you hankering for the original ingredients. It’s got a great cast and the director, Dave Wilson, is superb.Even though “Bloodshot” is an adaptation of a comic book (unread by me), screenwriters Jeff Wadlow and Eric Heisserer take their cues and their plot details from a slew of far better movies in this genre. We’re off to South Africa to start shooting next month.
It’s within that world, my character - I can’t give away too much, but I’m really excited. I can tell you that it’s based on the Valiant Comics, which are the Bloodshot series. In addition to confirming the Bloodshot filming start and location, he also praised the cast, director and project: Sam Heughan joined the cast of Bloodshot earlier this year and while speaking to Screen Rant about his latest project, Lionsgate's spy comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me, the actor teased what he could about the upcoming adaptation.

It was previously reported Bloodshot would start filming this summer and one of the film's stars has confirmed as much. Vin Diesel is set to star as Bloodshot, the former soldier turned superhero with powers of regeneration and shapeshifting.
For its part, Bloodshot started gaining serious momentum in 2017 when director Dave Wilson signed on to helm the film written by Jeff Wadlow and Eric Heisserer. Though not one of the big two, Valiant Comics has its own catalogue of beloved characters, and in 2015 the publisher struck a deal with Sony Pictures to adapt the Bloodshot and Harbinger comics.
