Sony Revs Up Ghost Rider 2


Columbia Pictures is working on a second installment of "Ghost Rider," with David Goyer in early talks to create the story and supervise writers for a film expected to once again star Nicolas Cage.

Former Marvel topper Avi Arad, Michael De Luca and Steven Paul are producing, with Gary Foster as exec producer.

Through a spokesman, Goyer said he hadn't signed on to a second "Ghost Rider" yet. But plans are already under way to base the sequel on a "Ghost Rider" script written years ago by Goyer, whose superhero work includes hit screen transfers of DC's "Batman Begins" and Marvel's "Blade" franchise. The original "Ghost Rider" was scripted by director Mark Steven Johnson.

Thoughts:
Oh please god make it stop. The first one was horrible and had some of the worst reviews ever for a Marvel property. Doing a sequel with the same cast members and production team is a very dumb idea and goes to show you that Sony doesn't give a damn about what people think of the Ghost Rider movies. My idea would have been to either reboot Ghost Rider or do a sequel in the form of The Incredible Hulk, where it was a different cast and explaining the origin story in the introduction credits.

Sweet! More fuel for my fire. I can't wait (not that I'll see it, of course).

I dunno, Sony Pictures has been churning some good stuff out.

I think it needs to be more violent.. and I am talking at least '16' here.

Cage is receiving praise for his new movie... I think this could be good as long as they don't gear it towards kids like the first film.

Also, I would love to see Sony do a Spider-man/ Ghost Rider film: that would be sweet!

Cage was simply not good enough to do the lead. Well, that's what we will get if we let studios like Sony made super heroes movies instead of just leaving it to Marvel. Alas, now that Disney bought Marvel, I hope they won't get soft.
