I cannot wait until GHOSRIDER is released. Good old Nicky cage as the man himself while Wes bentley plays Blackheart.

Plus they are using the latest Maya software also featured in Alias.
With that plus Mark Steven Johnson directing/writing it's a sure hit.

Here's some info on "Ghost Rider" courtesy IMDb:

Here's a stream of the trailer

It's kind of dissapointing if you ask me, oh well, I'll probably give it a chance. But still it doesn't seem to have a dark enough tone. I think Nicholas Cage seems like a poor choice for the role, maybe it's just me, but that's my two cents.

Here is something that I've personally been looking forward to for awhile. Sony Pictures has unleashed the new domestic and international teaser trailers for Ghost Rider in QuickTime formats here

Take a look at both trailers that were released (domestic and international) both have some exclusive footage. Both look great.

I've been looking forward to this movie for ages, and was disapointed when the release date for the film was pushed back. The trailers look brilliant, but my only problem is that I thought Ghost Rider would have looked a bit more gruff and scary. I saw some sketches for the film over at countingdown.com and I thought they were awsome. The Ghost Rider looked very demonic; cool but creepy. So I was a little disapointed when a saw the clean, cooler-looking Ghost Rider in the trailers.

But that aside, the Hellcycle looks mouth-wateringly cool and so does the action! I think Ghost Rider has a good story and has a lot of potential as a future film franchise. I'm revved up for 2007.

I only just knew that the Deadline was pushed back, explains a lot to me now LOL!!

I dunno I still say Nicky Cage is to old to be Ghost Rider. I havea feeling it'll be like Punisher.  El Crappy.

If you read some of the more recent Ghost Rider comics, you'll see that Johnny Blaze is a dead ringer of Nicholas Cage. I think it is just a coincidence, but at least you can say this superhero film stays true to the comic in that respect lol.

Your thread was merged with the pre-existing one.

Nic thinks that it's a cooincidence that he got the part. He has a tatoo of Johnny Blaze... I think on his back, that he got years ago.

My friend Daniel Frederiksen is in this film, he's playing a bad guy called "Wallow". I meet Dan six years ago through film school and he played the lead role in a short film I made. He's a good actor, but I don't think his part in Ghost Rider is a very big one.  

Hey all, For those that are big on Ghost rider the latest Video blog is up at Superherohype.com

I would like to know what you guys and in some cases Girls think of the film. I think Mark Steven Johnson has done a great job. I'm not the big on my Comic book crossovers but there are still a few I would like to see come to live, Ghost Rider being one of them.

MSJ has posted on the boards there stating he has officially finished the film and so forth.

I'm not a big comic book fan, but I really liked MSJ's work on Daredevil. I know a lot of people had big problems with that movie I quite enjoyed it. Anything with Jennifer Garner is aces in my books (especially Alias and es, I think Elektra is tolerable).

Anyway, Ghost Rider certainly looks like a darker movie, which are the best kinds of comic book movies in my books, Batman Begins being my favourite, so I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'm not familiar with the Ghost Rider lore or anything but I'll probably take a look at this when it hits the movies later.


Cheers, Chismeister.

I don't know, the more I see of this film the more I'm disappointed. It just isn't what I was expecting at all. Why the hell (no pun intended!) are the directors of these anti-hero movies trying to make them look and feel brighter, when their subject-matter is dark? I know it's probably to attract kids and all that, but look at the first two Terminator films and Robocop 1 and 2. They were rated 15-18 because they were so dark and bloody, kids couldn't get in to see them and yet the films were still very successful with adult audiences and the kids flocked to buy all the toys and merchandise. So why don't these guys like MSJ just make darker, more violent films that suit the subject-matter? Kids are still going to see them eventually and are going to make up a big proportion of DVD buyers queuing up in stores!

I mean, take The Punisher for example. Jonathan Hensleigh tried to make it like the Welcome Back, Frank series, with brighter visuals and a funnier cast. But the film is ultimately about an ex-FBI agent who's family is massacred, who then vanishes into the underworld to punish those who murdered them in the most vicious ways imaginable. Does that sound bright or funny to anyone?

I think the subject-matter of every film should always be reflected in the visuals, unless the aim of the director is to juxtopose the setting with the characters to provide some sort of dramatic irony. Comedies usually look bright and light-hearted, romantic flicks often look picturesque, horror is always portrayed as dark and bloody, and action films normally look rough and gritty. So why, then, did The Punisher look so bright, and often beautiful? It's an action movie! People are getting their heads blown off and their bodies dismembered! It's not supposed to look in anyway beautiful!

You only have to look at Terminator 2 to see what I'm talking about. This is a very distinctive film visually. The film is ultimately about robots and machines, and the colours are therefore mostly cold blues and steely greys. And when we get to the climax at the end of the film in the steel-mill, everything looks red and orange. It almost makes your temperature rise! This is how it should be done!

So, back to the topic at hand, I think MSJ should have made Ghost Rider much, much darker-looking and less cartoonish. In fact, the studio should have stuck with David Goyer's bloodier version from the very beginning.
