Well..........it's a go, and Nicholas Cage is supposed to play Jhonny Blaze

disscuss away....I guess...

I only have like 5 issues of Ghost Rider, and I bought them in 1996 I think. Well it's not enough, I wanted more but I had to go back home. I like him, but I'm interested in how r they gonna portray his flaming head. Yeah CGi, but sometimes that don't work too well. I hope it's gonna be rated R.

its got a lot of potential things to make a good movie
but they can so sqreuw it up

There are so many comic book movie adaptations now.

Theat makes it more likely that a crap one will make its way onto the big screen, but it means that the people behind the scenes will have more experience, so big screen adaptations only get better.

yeah it better be rated R, and perhap's Cage can pull it off if the use a LOT of CGI for the action seen's((i know hes a good actor, but he seems a little old))

Yeah u're actually right he is old. The character he is playing is like 25 or 26 years old I think.

First Make up test for the movie Ghost-Rider.

This really looks extreamly bad

Dear God.

He looks like one of those hard rock music guys from the 80's

That mask is not even in consideration, that mask was from a previous attempt to make Ghostie. They will never use something like that on Nicholas Cage. U have to forget about Ghostie for a couple of years, cuz u won't see any previews sooner. Same thing goes for Iron Man and Captain America.

I heard that Nicolas Cage is playing Ghost Rider. IMO, this sucks. He doesn't like like Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch. I just don't think he should be the actor for this.

What do you all think about Cage playing Ghost Rider? Who do you think would fit the shoes for this part better?

Johnny Depp's a better choice as GR. I even heard that he was the choice way back.

i dont think he would play a good superhero

Cage would be a great blaze. Cage has that acting ability to coast on the darksides of characters,but also shed humanity on them. Cage ican be quite badass, just give him some hair plugs and bulk him up a bit and you got pretty much a great god damn blaze, the only person who may have fit the part better would have been edward norton, but then again norton has that hero auro around him, he would also have made a great daredevil and constantine, but Cage will give the performance dont worry about that, worry about the story.

I mean when i first heard cage was playin blaze i was happy, it's a better choice than when he was going to play superman

i think hes an awesome choice as well.

Oh yeah, u said it! i DONT' HAVE ANYTHING MORE TO SAY CUZ AGAIN rEMORSE SAID IT ALL.

I think Cage would play the role well

I think he's the best choice that i've heard so far for the role.

I think he's a good choice, he's commented on comic books before, he's a big fan and follows them, he even took the stage name Cage after Luke Cage. He would defnatly have passion for the role, and we've seen him put on some serious muscle for roles before, so he could probably get the omni-present superb superhero physique down. Although his hairline isn't too strong, but he'll have a flaming skull, so it doesn't matter lol.

does daniel and johny have the same powers has ghost rider?

No.

Johnny had superior strength and could project hellfire from his hands. While Dan's bike can scale walls, fly, etc. this is hardly an advantage over Johnny seeing as he was the worlds best daredevil save perhaps the stuntmaster (i think that was his name.) Johnny was more resilient while aparently Dan regeneratees faster. Dan has control over his chain and can do very different things with it, it is magically enchanted and can hurt very resilient things. Dan also has the penance stare which no doubt you are familiar with.

Johnny was still stronger.

thanks

No prob.

Pic of the bike:

Is that straight from a movie shot? No fanboy shitting around on his computer. It looks pretty cool, I was kind of worried as to how they would do the bike

I want Ghost Rider to be a very, very good movie. It should be dark, brutal, bloody and incendiery. And unforgiving for those traits.

I don't know if it is directly from movie footage, but it is directly from the creators of the movie made to at least give a preview of what it will look like. I got it from comingsoon.net.

Ok

The CGI fire around the eyes of the skull thing looks like crap.

that bike pic is ace

From USA Today:

Is Cage really the rigfht selection to play J-Blaze, (ghost rider)?

God help us...

It's pretty much guaranteed he's Blaze.

I'm a bit wary, he just doesn't seem to fit the part, but he's a good actor, and he has an affinity for the character and comics in general. He took his screen name, "Cage" from Luke Cage: Hero for Hire.

I just think, cage may have the "ccolness" to play blaze, but come on, aint he a little too old?

He kinda looks like Nomad who is Johnny Blaze. He needs to BULK UP. He's a twig compared to comic book Johnny.

This is super-old news. Try using the search button. http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31456&highlight=ghost+rider

Old enough to the point where Cage is nearly more than half way done filming Ghost Rider.

I tink ghost rider will be a great movie & i tink nicholas cage wil play a good Ghost Rider.

Is there anyword on what villians will be in the moive?

Blackheart. I'm pretty sure it's Blackheart.

have any of you heard of this guy hes a guy with a skull on fire for a head and he rides a moter cycle well if any of you have heard of him his movie is due for next year

Oh yes, I've heard of him. I hope the movie's good, Avi Arad seems pretty pumped about it, and usually he seems pretty reliable, and Cage is a great actor.

I've heard of Ghost rider and I knew they were writing a flik about him

Promopic

Here is an picture of his motorcycle:

That bike is ****ing super sick!

Who is gonna play ghostrider?

The bike sure is great.

Nicolas Gage plays GR.

That bike looks to practical for ghost riders bike. Cage will ruin the movie anyway, so the bike may as well be card board.

This movie is going to suck so much ass. I understand Nickyboy is a big comic fan and all, but christ's sake, you can't be Superman and you can't be Ghost Rider, dammit.

Going to suck soooooo hard.

I dunno, i dont mind Cage in it. Its Ghost Rider we want to see not so much Ketch ( is it Ketch or Blaze ) and so far it looks good.

Are you from my brain?

Anyway, Someone should have shot the guy after Water World so honest hardworking people like us don't have to suffer things like this.

Cage was in Water World?
I think that was Kevin Kosner. Why do people think that movie was so bad? I kinda liked it, he purified his pee!

yeah and he couldn't purify the sea water?

I think you're thinkin escape from L.A..

It's Kevin costner in waterworld, escape from LA is kurt russel.

Hulk didn't suck.

It only sucked for idiots who went to the movies to see him fighting things and destroying things.

I personally went for the story and the movie.

-AC

You are not idiot if you want to see that...that is basically what Hulk is about.

As for myself, I wanted to see Hulk destroy things.

And the story and the movie sucked. Didn't catch the essence of Hulk at all.

Why do people have to call other people idiots because they have a different opinion? It is silly to do this.

And this is a Ghost Rider thread which looks like it is going to suck, also.

I didn't go to see "Hulk Smash! Hulk Bash!".

No, that's not what Hulk is about. It's what people mostly know, but it's not what his character is about. It's one, famous facet of his character.

If it was all fighting and shit, people would have moaned about lack of story. The story is great and they complain about lack of action.

I think they did it brilliantly. Not having Hulk turn up every 5 minutes just made his arrivals all the better.

It totally caught the essence of Hulk. From the scenery to the way he acted.

So ummm, I guess somehow you got lost, wandered into an interdimensional portal on your way to the theatre and saw a totally different movie than everyone else in the world.

Isnt Hulk basically oriented around destroying stuff?

Isn't this a Ghost Rider forum. Does any one know when the movie comes out

i didn't know they had even decided to definitely make a GR movie until i came into this thread

Summer 2006

No. The story surrounding the Hulk is an update of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with Frankenstein elements thrown in. It should be as much about Banner as it is about Hulk.

Finally someone other then me who likes the hulk movie .... does anyone like the daredevil movie cause i did , X-men sucked though it was just fanboyism on a screen.

Yes, I liked Daredevil. As did a couple others on this board. (That's it though. Check the daredevil thread--where this discussion belongs-- if you don't believe. )

Lets stay on topic and talk about that Ghost Rider movie. 'kay.

You know, keep that Hulk and Daredevil discussion where it belongs so it doesn't clog up this thread.

Avi Arad commented that Ghost Rider would be PG-13. Which sucks, because it should be a badass demon gore fest.

^
I agree completely with that. But who knows, they may surprise us.

Oh, who am I kidding? Right?

I saw some pics from set on entertainment tonight accouple of months ago of the hell cycle wheels on fire and the bike was moving. They showed the teaser at comic con and you can read about it at superherohype.com. I think nic cage will prove in end he was right for the role.

blackheart

That's Blackheart?

I agree. The Hulk comic has always been heavy on the psychology of Bruce Banner, and that's what I wanted to see. If I want nothing but two hours of juggernaut destruction and nothing else, I'll watch Godzilla.

Yeah thats exactly what i thought, Looks more like a member of greenday.

I am hoping that my love of gr will triumph over the suckiness of this movie.

But hey it could be ok... Ghost rider looks cool.

Im still hanging out for the teaser.

gr

No offence, but come on! Wait until you see the film before judging it. I mean you haven't even seen it and already you've decided you hate it? Give it a chance!

Personally I think Nic Cage will do a great job.

so do I... I think it could be great.

It could be a good film emphasis on the word could , although currently I'm holding out for V for Vendetta

That's the spirit.

Cool poster by the way.

Written by David S. Goyer.

There is hope people.

what are some of his films?

How about the camera, a few inches off the grounds, following someone in biker boots as they stomp slowly and deliberately down some dark alley. Then, you hear someone whimpering. The alley comes to a dead end. A thug scurries petrified against the wall. A chain drops in front of the camera which then rises slowly up the back of the stalker. Thugs eyes widen as you glimpse a burning head, a glimpse of skull within.

Scream. Blackness.

GR logo bursts into flames on the screen.

Thats what the trailer should be like...

Hoping Nicolas Cage at least got some hair transplants during his deal with the devil......

Seriously though, I'll wait until I see the movie before I pass judgement. I'm just glad that this is finally getting made into a movie.

Isn't there already a teaser trailer out? I started to watch it several months back but it was glitchy so I stopped it and decided to wait for a good quality one.

Yeah, here it is: http://www.efavata.com/CBM/GhostRider.htm

It apparently has been out since July but this version still doesn't want to work properly on my computer.

Nevermind, it does work. I just had to let it play through once with all of its glitches but second time through it was smooth. Although it doesn't really show Nick Cage AS Ghost Rider.

Yeah that is not fully finished, The fully rendered trailer is yet to come. It will probly be much the same but with a few cgi effects added...

Guys, if you go to the ghost rider website and enter the site, you get your first look at Nicolas Cage as Ghost Rider, and he looks awesome. Here is the link.

http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/ghostrider/site/rider.html

Now the film has been pushed back all the way to February 2007 - Sony/Columbia claims they have so many films to release next year, they couldn't really give this the weekend slot they wanted.
So - what's the REAL story? aka What's Wrong?
Have Mark Steven Johnson done another hack directing job?

MSJ is awesome, Daredevil ruled...

juggernaut66666, who is that in ur sig with the flaming eyes or watever?

What ? i couldn't find the actual trailer but the images look ok .

looked kind of corny

ugh, this movie is destined to suck.

The director also did Daredevil and we all know how well that turned out

Also, he even said that he is going to make up a Ghost Rider story rather than follow one from the comics!

Erg, why does Avi Arid allow this crap to be made!

I usually quite sceptical of these movies. I did not like X-men 1 or spidey 2, but this doesn't look half bad IMO. I was a bit annoyed that we don't see the actual flaming skull head for almost all of the trailer but it had some funny lines in it and looked quite enjoyable even if it was Nicholas Cage doing the role.............................

Yep, X-Men 1 wasnt that good and I hated Spidey 2.

Of course nothing comes close to how bad Daredevil and Elektra were.

If there's no flaming skull, I don't want to hear about it!furious

you dont see it in the previews oh no.....it's there guys it's on the cover and the goth chick describes it......I dont see why everyone is so worried all of the stories in comics have been changed for instance X-men: Rogue is a little kid who is with wolverine and neither angel or beast two of the originals are in it same with some other films so dont dare ***** about that next this has sam elliot Im sure alot of you dont watch country movies but he is one of the best actors I can think of and this groundkeeper role is great for him. Personally I wanna go see it even if it is made by the person who did DD

I want a flaming skull, that girl said it was a flaming skull in the trailer when she was being interviewed but since when has Nicolas Cage's head looked like a flaming skull?

Originally posted by Takion

Actually Spawn SOLD well. It was the number 1 movie the year it came out.

SPAWN may have been No. 1 the weekend it opened, but finished far behind films like Men In Black, Jurassic Park 2, and Titanic.

So.

Most comic book movies TODAY have not done better then those movies.

I'm just saying compared to a few other comic book movies Spawn sold pretty well.

There was a lot of chest thumping by Todd McFarlane and his filmmakers; talking about how they got his character into the theatres, while Spider-Man was still in legal squabbling between movie companies, as to who had the rights. Well, nine years later, the Spider-Man franchise is huge worldwide, with no. 3 coming next year; while Spawn 2 has yet to get off the rails. They missed their opening, I think.

Well he was doing really good with the show on HBO at the time. It had GREAT ratings and went on for 3 years to have 3 or so seasons so he pretty much focused on that instead of another movie.

Check It out. Listen

The HBO show was good.

man i finaly got the tralirs to work and iv got to say im happy with the way it looks iv been waiting so long for this movie now i dont know if i can wait till it comes out

i saw the premiere of X3 and they played the Ghost Rider domestic trailer. it was COOL! the chain is, wow.

here's the link:

yea the trailer looked good, special effects are good. Im just not sure about Nick Cage.

me neither.

Im still iffy on this

I mean GR looks decent, not as cool as he could look though

I just hope that GR is a different personality than Johnny Blaze.

he's not. but he does use the Hellfire shotgun if you notice.

I saw the trailer, it does look pretty good. Especially the 'Riding up the Skyscraper' scene.

Ive just seen the trailer for GR in Xmen 3 and damn it looks awsome, it may suuck but if it is like the trailer it is gonna be awsome.

yup

Marvel does have a history to have amazing trailers for crap movies (ex: Daredevil, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man 2).

So it could just be a trick

don't open up side discussions like that.
you could've just said," the trailer could be good but the movie may be bad".
