Hotheaded motorcyclist GHOST RIDER is coming back to theaters so fast, he'll blast right through the screen in... 3D!!!

The Sony sequel GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE (which, like other Marvel characters at various studios, is being made partially out of necessity or they risk the rights reverting back to Marvel) is scheduled to film with the additional dimension in cost-saving Romania this Fall.

CRANK guys Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are cranking the throttle on the follow-up, and (after some supposed schedule shuffling) Nic Cage comes back as stuntman-turned-fiery-vigilante Johnny Blaze.

No surprise Cage is interested in shooting in 3D, after he raved about the process and results working on Patrick Lussier's shot-in-3D supernatural thriller DRIVE ANGRY.

While details on the GHOST RIDER sequel are unknown, Cage has implied that the hellbiker might be facing vampire supreme Dracula. Or at least checking out his castle.

Extra Tidbit: After witnessing what we ended up with, I'd love to see what Neveldine/Taylor would've come up with on JONAH HEX...

3D hasn't just jumped the shark
Its got 24 of them in a row and flew over them before crashing into the 5th and getting devoured.



I'm over 3D and it hasn't really begun.

Nic's hair is the only reason why I'm looking forward to this movie.

The first movie was horrible. It barely made any money, the acting was crap, and the script felt like an angst filled teenager wrote it. The movie wasn't going to be any good before Nick Cage got back onboard, and it will be worse now that he's back. Even 3D can't keep his acting from being flat.

The first film was very, very average. Can't say I am looking forward to this. I wish Cage went back the type of flicks he starred in the late 90s: Face Off, Con Air, 8MM...

The line in the article that says they are making this movie partly to keep the rights from reverting back to Marvel says it all. This is nothing more than a greedy cash grab, story be damned. This will be total SHIT

As hokey as the concept sounds when you describe it, there is definitely a good film somewhere in Ghost Rider, they just need to be less afraid of focusing on the people Ghost Rider is out to punish. Give the villains some depth instead of making them look like walking special effects and you've got some validity to Ghost Rider's mission.

As it stands, making this movie in 3D won't save...

As it stands, making this movie in 3D won't save the franchise, because ironically that's not how you add depth to a movie.

STOP WITH 3-D
Direct quote from my babysitter:







"Took the kids to see (insert movie here that I won't trash) in 3-D, but it gave us all headaches"



So they paid an extra $3.50 each for the opportunity to be un-wowed by the effect, and given a headache.







STUPID STUPID STUPID Hollywood!

cage was...
mis-cast as blaze, but we have to live with that. i also agree with the suggestion that blackheart (the real one) make an appearance, and maybe forget all that romance cheese and up the action and then they might have a hit, might.

well I really hope this is better than the first one. I didn't hate the first one, it was just kinda blah! It would be interesting to see him fight Dracula.

I'm fine with everything but the Dracula rumor. Another vampire? Really? Haven't we seen enough dracula/vampire movies in the last few years?

Let it die....please!
The first GR wasn't well done, and Nic Cage can find better rolls to occupy his time. He didn't fit into the roll as GR....his acting was over the top, and his facial expressions were comical at best. Now that Avatar was a monster at the box office with it's 3D feature, every production company is jumping on the 3D bandwagon, hoping for a hit. Give it a rest all ready!

A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION OF CRAP
So a rushed sequel to desperately hold on to the rights for a movie that should be rebooted and starring a guy trying to pay off his debt with every shitty movie he can get his hands on in gimmicky 3D. I think I hear Oscar buzz, stop it Oscar nobody wants to hear your bee impression. Oh and it has Dracula in it just like Blade Trinity, so is he gonna suck in this too?

Still doesn't change the fact the first one was horrible and a waste a money. 3D will just make the new one a bigger waste of money. Bet it will be converted to 3D as well so it will be shitty quality

I'm optimistic about this one because the Crank guys I think could deliver a bad ass, fun flick and this is one of the few comic book movies, other than Batman, that still has the original cast back.

It has the original cast back? And that's cause for celebration? In what mindset? Nic Cage and Eva Mendes were entertaining? Wow, man.

Except the original cast sucked, I like Nic Cage (sometimes) but his jelly bean eatin' Carpenters lovin' goofy Johnny Blaze was awful.

no offense, but you can bake a cake with some kick-ass ingredients, but if you over cook it, you've got a smoking piece of shit.

So Ghost Rider, which needs a reboot, get a sequel; whereas Spiderman gets a reboot when almost everyone would prefer a sequel. Looks like my interest in comic book movies is getting weaker by the day. Oh well, I've still got Batman 3 to look forward to.
