Did Scott Speedman have a falling out with Len Wiseman? spoilers

SPOILER

The way they resolve Michaels fate just seemed like a huge slap to the face of the fanbase, which I'm not even apart of. They did such a *beep* job building up to the reveal of his death, even worse because "Awakening" kept teasing a possible return. I'm wondering, why didn't Speedman ever come back? He can't be that busy or expensive, as these movies were probably the zenith of his career (so far; nobody remembers "The Strangers", his only other major hit).

It would've made more sense to bring him back, only to kill him off in the climax or something, if the filmmakers really want to move on from him. But I have to imagine that there was a falling out with Wiseman or Beckinsale, because there's no other reason for them to kill him off in such a stupid manner.

I always assumed they made a decision to kick Speedman out and focus the films on Kate, story be damned, cause Hollywood politics and stuff.

Me too. The start of the movie series was built around Selene+Michael, and then out of the blue he is scratched off, only to be replaced by what I can only call a kiddy girl version of the same Michael character. Craziest thing of all, they scratch off her as well for the sequel and pull the same stunt they did with Michael.

They seem to have lost touch with the fanbase.

Yes! That's the very reason I'm done with this damn franchise.
