Sony Take On 'Ghost Rider'
[Thursday, May 23rd, 2002]Sony Pictures, riding high with its adaptation of Marvel Comics' "Spider-Man", is in negotiations to take all rights to Marvel's "Ghost Rider" from Dimension Films, reports Variety.
"Ghost Rider" is a story about Johnny Blaze, who makes a "Devil and Daniel Webster"-like pact in an effort to save someone he loves. The devil tricks Blaze into a deal that's not exactly what it's said to be. However, part of the pact bestows supernatural qualities on Johnny, who transforms into a ghost rider on a journey to reclaim his life, his love and his soul.
Sony also is negotiating with scribe Shane Salerno, one of the scribes with a writing credit on the "Shaft" remake, to pen a screenplay based on the property.
