Blade's famous star Wesley Snipes is expected to arrive in Sofia any day now. On Sunday he will start filming his new action "Nine Lives", where he plays an ex -soldier, suffering post-traumatic stress after the war in Kosovo.

The setting for the film - a psychiatric hospital and a prison - will be the railway factory in Sofia and the studios of the company New Image.

It's not known yet which Bulgarian actors will partner the Hollywood star.

Snipes' most legendary role is that of the half-human half-vampire in "Blade I" and "Blade II". However, his performances in "Passenger 57", "Demolition Man", "The Fan", "Money Train", and many others have also captured the imagination of his numerous fans in and outside of Bulgaria.

Snipes lives with his partner, the Korean painter Nikki Pak, in his luxury home in New Jersey.

About 10 days ago Snipes married the mother of 2 of his children in a secret civil ceremony, despite previous proclamations that they had no plans to tie the knot, according to the tabloids.
