Indie fave Parker Posey will take her first shot at comic book action as the actress joins the cast of New Line Cinema's Blade: Trinity. Posey will play a vampire in the film, which also stars Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds. The third installment of the Marvel Comics-based franchise is being written and directed by David Goyer. Trinity is being produced by Goyer, Snipes, Lynn Harris and Peter Frankfurt. New Line production president Toby Emmerich and exec Cale Boyter are overseeing the project, with production scheduled to start this month in Vancouver, British Columbia. Posey, who was nominated for a Golden Globe last year for her work in Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay, last appeared on the big screen in the comedy A Mighty Wind. She can next be seen in the upcoming New Line romantic comedy The Laws of Attraction. Posey is repped by Endeavor and manager Frank Frattaroli.
