Dorff and Norrington returning for a BLADE prequel trilogy?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like BLADE is coming back... but without Blade. Somehow.

Listen, I like Stephen Dorff... I have since I was a kid and watched THE GATE, like, 700 times. I liked him in the original Blade, but I don't know if I really NEED to see a Blade prequel starring his character let alone a three movie telling of Deacon Frost's rise through the vampire ranks.

The Sunday Mail has a chat with a guy named "Stehpen" Dorff, whom I am going to assume is closely related to Stephen, where he confirms this series of films are in the works.

However, the most interesting bit of information in the story is that The Sunday Mail is under the impression that BLADE director Stephen Norrington is handling this new series of films. I always thought the dude got the shit end of the stick with the stillborn mess that was THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN and would love to see him come back to filmmaking, prove that wasn't all his fault.

So, I guess I'm mixed on this news. I hope it's fun if it happens at all. What do you folks think?
