Who’d a thunk it? The cool little diggers over at USA Today have scored the first look at Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze in GHOST RIDER. Here’s a taste of what director Mark Steven Johnson (DAREDEVIL) had to share about Cage’s participation:
“Most of these guys are comic-book geeks like me,” Johnson says from Melbourne, Australia, where he is shooting the story of Johnny Blaze (Cage), a biker who sells his soul to the devil to save his girlfriend and then struggles with his demonic side, aka Ghost Rider. “Nic is one of the biggest fans of the comic book out there.”
So big, in fact, that the actor sports a tattoo of the Ghost Rider’s flaming skull on his arm. Makeup artists had to cover it for the film. Says Johnson: “The irony is we had to remove Nic’s Ghost Rider so he could play Ghost Rider.”
I too have a tattoo on my arm that has to be covered up during all of my big action roles. It’s of Amy Weber’s glorious be-hind. You can check that out below, or just click here to see the Cage pic.
