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.

January 8, 2010: 'Ghost Rider 2' is happening and we've got the details!:
The first GHOST RIDER film by Mark Steven Johnson is a piece of cinema I would critically describe as being "retarded". That's not a commonly used enough term when critiquing films, but here I think it's apt. Anyway, for the proposed sequel/reboot, scribe...
November 5, 2009: Goyer on Ghost Rider 2:
Prepare your eyes for rolling. David Goyer is talking about the GHOST RIDER sequel/reboot he's writing, which exists solely because the first one miraculously made $228M worldwide. Yes, it's PG-13, yes Nic Cage is coming back, but don't worry, it’s...

May 11, 2007: Cage does Capone:
Nicolas Cage isn't one to make the "safe" career choice. Truth be told, he isn't one to make any choice at all - his agent throws a contract in front of him, he ensures there's a suitable number attached to his salary, signs it and sometime before the end of...

October 16, 2006: Ghost Rider needs SPF:
Whether GHOST RIDER is a batter you gotta lick or the movie conjures up an image of a poop-smeared mouth that you just can't get out of your head (try now ), you must admit that THIS CLIP of Johnny Blaze's transformation into the G Man, which recently went...

May 23, 2006: New Rider trailer!:
The new trailer for GHOST RIDER is out and expectedly, a significant downside
