Despite a largely negative reaction to 2007’s GHOST RIDER, Johnny Blaze is coming back in a sequel titled GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE. The Columbia Pictures film is currently in production, and a new sales synopsis has been released. Here it is:
It has been several years since making a deal with the Devil and Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage), living in self-imposed isolation, finds himself as the only person who can help save 10-year-old Danny – and ultimately the world – thanks to his unwanted and uncontrollable power – his ability to transform into the hell-on-wheels monster known as The Ghost Rider.
Nicolas Cage once again returns to star. He perfers to call the film “an entirely new experience” rather than a sequel or a reboot. The cast also includes Ciaran Hinds, Violante Placido (below), Idris Elba, and Johnny Whitworth.
The movie is directed by the team of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (CRANK) and written by Scott Gimple and Seth Hoffman (“Prison Break”). It is scheduled to hit theaters in 3D on February 17, 2012.
