Ghost Rider
 

FilmJerk.com reports that writer/director Mark Steven Johnson's Ghost Rider, starring Nicolas Cage, has been moved up three weeks from August 4th to July 14th, 2006.

Wes Bentley, Eva Mendes, Matt Long, Sam Elliott, Peter Fonda and Donal Logue also star in the anticipated comic book adaptation.

TV Guide caught up with Peter Fonda, who plays Mephistopheles in writer/director Mark Steven Johnson's Ghost Rider opposite Nicolas Cage. He talked about the film and here's a clip:

TVGuide.com: Did you go back and look at the comic to inform how you should play the Mephisto character?
Fonda: I had read a few of them before, but I thought regardless of what the guy who wrote the comics had designed here, it was up to me to put it on the screen. As it was, they let me play totally against part. Let me tell you, nobody has played the Devil quite like I do. Oh, man, I loved it. It was really cool.

IESB.net talked to Nicolas Cage about the Ghost Rider movie and here's a clip:

Well, he's a man who's just trying to take a negative and turn it into a positive like we all do, we have been talking about that here today together with The Weather Man, trying to take movies and do something positive with any negative feelings that I have. Johnny Blaze is a superhero who had a very horrible thing happen to him and he's taking that negative and he's trying to make something positive out of it no matter what and that's, in that way I guess you can say I am like Ghost Rider.

This could be good. Ghost Rider always was one my favorite comic book heroes, so hopefully the movie can do him justice. I'm not a big fan of Nicholas Cage, but I think he could pull it off.

Pardon me while I skip Hollywood's latest marketing plan.

Well the thing about Cage is that he actually read Ghost Rider, he was quoted inan interview I read back when I first heard about this movie was that he used to have a huge comic collection and then he was robbed which really sucks b/c I recall he had some preety valuble issues of various series. Now I know that actors will say that just to make the public believe that their going to do the charicter justice, i.e. Ben Afflack Daredevil, but I can't explain it but I think that Cage will slid into the character kinda like Tobey in Spider-Man. Atleast Tobey addmitted that he had never read Spider-Man before.

My only problem with the cast is that Medez is playing Cage's love interest, in teh comic she's a blond chick but oh well, Medez is really hot so its ok.

Never read the comics myself, but it looks kickass. Not a big fan of Cage in geeral, but alot of fans of the book are saying he'll be good, so I cant imagine he'd be that bad.

its got nic cage in it. it cant be that good.

Agreed, Cage as a superhero? No thanks.

I was freaked out when I heard he was gonna be Superman, I guess he decided he wanted a more obscure role.

He wanted to be Superman so much, he named his kid Kal-El. Now that's scary

...with or without his hair-piece ?

Looks like a bit of a pansy, but his backstory sounds pretty cool.

That trailer left me confused. On the one hand, some cool imagery, but shouldn't they have hired a few more people who could actually act? Some of the dialogue reminded me of STEEL.

I kinda think this film gonna suck. I'm a GR nut but cage is so wrong for this. This movie needs lots of violense and rated R. not pg13 because any superhero that has a nasty attiude must be R rated. I wonder there doing JohnyBlaze deal if so cage better not fuck this up. Or are they doing the 3rdseries I hope they show the flames burning the flesh off the face when he turn into GR. for me makeup would be 100% better than graphics. if the makeup artist is good a.k.a Tom Savini.

Next week, Sony Pictures will reveal the new teaser trailer for Mark Steven Johnson's Ghost Rider which will play in theaters with many prints of X-Men: The Last Stand. The official website for the British Board of Film Classification has listed the teaser with a running time of one minute and 23 seconds.

Written and directed by Johnson, the film stars Nicolas Cage, Wes Bentley, Eva Mendes, Matt Long, Sam Elliott, Peter Fonda, Donal Logue, Mathew Wilkinson and Daniel Frederiksen. It is scheduled for a February 16, 2007 release.

I think that Nic Cage will do a good job in this role. I think he is a good actor. Here's a pic of the cycle from the movie.

The international trailer looks wicked, especially the secene where Cage says "Let's ride", hits the throttle and immediately turns into the Rider... looks fun if nothing else.

Nicolas Cage on Ghost Rider!

ComingSoon.net got a chance to chat with Nicolas Cage on the set of his new film "Next" about the anticipated Ghost Rider adaptation. Here's a clip:

"They were just tweaking certain things towards the end," he explained. "The reason the movie was delayed, I know that's been on people's minds. There were some effects that finally got authorized by the studio which [writer-director] Mark [Steven Johnson] really wanted and they're pretty big and it took time to put them together and design them. So we had to delay it and I think it's good because it's something we really wanted to fight for with Ghost Rider going into battle with a helicopter."

ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com talked to Ghost Rider writer-director Mark Steven Johnson and stars Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes at the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday. You can listen to the audio interview here!

In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny's path crosses again with Roxanne, now a gogetting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny's soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery Ghost Rider, a supernatural agent of vengeance and justice. Mephistopheles charges Johnny with defeating the despicable Blackheart, Mephistopheles's nemesis and son, who plans to displace his father and create a new hell even more terrible than the old one.

Ghost Rider rides into theaters on February 16.

New Trailer

http://movies.aol.com/movie-trailer-...00050000000009

I've been following this for awhile. Cage actually called the writer, director, etc...personally...they were talking to Johnny Depp, Cage begged them for this role. He actually has/had a GR tatoo...long before any of this came about. Looks good to me,just hope the computer effects don't get out of control and we get Shrek on a chopper.

:D lolol shrek on a chopper...

TV Spot up.

New Ghost Rider TV Spot Airs
Source: CAH January 16, 2007

As Ghost Rider writer/director Mark Steven Johnson announced last week, a new TV spot for the film aired during the premiere of "American Idol" on Fox Tuesday evening. 'CAH' has a rundown of the spot for us:

I'll describe it as best I can remember...

-It starts with the famous GR riding off the building scene
-Columbia/Marvel Logos (I think it had Marvel's logo)
-V.O.: "What if you could sell your soul?"
-Shots of Johnny and Roxanne together, Roxxy asking if something is "burning" with Johnny just giving her a sort of "shut up" look
-V.O.: "To save someone you loved"
-Mephisto: "You will be the Rider for as long as you live..."
-Roxanne: "So, tonight you'll..." (she makes a gesture with her hand, I think touching her head signifying the flaming skull part)
Johnny: "Yes, I believe so..."
-REALLY REALLY cool shot of GR riding over a guy (I didn't see who) in slow motion
-On February 16th
-Mack: "Cool..."
-The Adventure Begins
-Now, there were a whole bunch of shots including GR and BH and his demon buddies, the goth girl being interviewed by Roxxy, and GR riding up the side of the building
-Now, as the screen says "GHOST RIDER" you can hear Johnny say "I'm Ghost Rider."
-Last shot is of GR riding through the water, it looked like he was surfing on the Hellcycle.

Become Ghost Rider

WOW

Thank you for the trailer I think it looks great.
Wanna read the comic now.
I like Cage looking forward to seeing this film.

Cage was awesome i got #1 the cover is in metallic ink

Is this movie finally going to come out? I know a lot of people who worked on the costumes and sets when they filmed it. They shot some of it in a park just down from my house one night in Richmond.

Coooooool.

My buddy has every single Ghost Rider Comic except for like 3 or 5 issues. He's also got most of GR's guest appearences in other Marvel titles. Most of all he has Marvel Spotlight #5, which is GR's 1st appearance, and no its not a reprint, its actually in preety decent condition for its age.

Coooooool im working on getting myself a copy of the comic.
