Kaos for Snipes

Wesley Snipes' (New Jack City, Undisputed, White Men Can't Jump) affection for a spot of vampire bashing appears undaunted, with news that his latest project will see him tooling up with the obligatory garlic, stakes, silver bullets and assorted other paraphernalia in another battle with the undead.

The action star, whose distaste for creatures of the night became evident over the course of three Blade films, has signed up for Andrew Goth's Gallowwalker.

Gallowwalker will see Snipes take on the role of Kaos, a mysterious gunman whose mother is a nun.

It all gets a bit chaotic for Kaos however, when, to save her errant son, his mother breaks her covenant with god- a smart move that results in Kaos becoming the recipient of a curse in which all the people he's killed come back to life.

Obviously upon returning to the land of the living, the formerly dead victims of Kaos are slightly miffed and intent on exacting their retribution.

Joanne Reay, who also worked with Goth on Cold And Dead, will write the action, which will begin shooting next month in Namibia.
