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.

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

Been a fan of the rider for a few years now. It just can't get any better than burning souls. Well....maybe, but in an case, i love it.
