David Goyer on "Ghost Rider 2" Story

Posted: November 4th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
David Goyer on Ghost Rider 2 StorySubmit Comment
MTV News caught up with screenwriter David Goyer (Batman Begins), whose old "Ghost Rider" script will be used for the upcoming sequel, to find out how the new film will be different from the first.

"It's not exactly a reboot," said Goyer. "I hate to say it's more realistic, because he's got a flaming skull for a head, but it's a bit more stripped down and darker. It's definitely changing tone. What 'Casino Royale' was to the Bond movies, hopefully this will be to 'Ghost Rider.'"

He added that the sequel will go in front of the cameras next year and that Nicolas Cage is still currently attached to return as Johnny Blaze.

"This story picks up eight years after the first film," said Goyer. "You don't have to have seen the first film. It doesn't contradict anything that happened in the first film, but we're pretending that our audience hasn't seen the first film. It's as if you took that same character where things ended in the first film and then picked it up eight years later — he's just in a much darker, existential place."

It amazes me that there is going to be two Ghost Rider flicks before one Captain America movie.

It's not like it can be any worse than the first...

"but we're pretending that our audience hasn't seen the first film"

That is exactly what happened, which makes me ask why they are making another one!

Save moviegoers the agony of watching TWO Nic Cage films and combine this with the "Drive Angry 3D" flick.
c-prime writes:

They can make more cash that way, especially if they convince people it's a sequel to all of Cage's movies centered on driving. Call it "Angry Ghost Drive 2 3D in 60 Seconds" or some shit.

@ c-prime: man, don't give'em any more ideas, because I can actually see them doing the "Angry Ghost Drive 2 3D in 60 Seconds", or something along those lines!

Please, Mr. Worstpreviews Site Moderator Man, erase these posts fast, before some Hollywood exec, or Cage himself, sees this and starts getting any ideas!

Unless it's a full-on reboot that captures the comic better and goes R-rated, I won't be seeing it.

Having said that, I will, in fact, probably end up seeing it.

"I hate to say it's more realistic, because he's got a flaming skull for a head''

This was a misquote about Cage and he actually said... "I hate to say it's more realistic, because he's got a stupid fucking hairpiece on his head''

Just reboot it, it's the new trend.

Yeah, I wish it would be rated R, but then that wouldnt be too fair to the kids.

I'm glad Nic Cage is still attached. He pretty much is Johnny Blaze in real life.

Ghost Rider is way better than any batman, superman, or spiderfag movie. nic cage is genious and drive angry will be great. if you need more convincing get paid to have sex with ic cage it worked for me.

ps. he's into ball torture

@RickyGabrielBird- THAT FUCKING HAIRPIECE!!! I can't take him seriously with that thing on his head lol.

@TeemSalami- Dude, you scare me lol.
rabid writes:

I thought it was decent. They say it took 3 hours to apply his hairpiece each day. it wasn't one piece. it's lots of tiny plus of hair glued one at a time.
I'd have rather seen him with the Con-Air mullet though. It's more fitting for Johnny Blaze. Hopefully the 8 years that pass in the movie will bring forth the skullet once more.

with Goyer in charge of the script - its gonna be like the difference between the first abd second treatments of the Hulk movies- just looks at his line of work - plus he said this time GR will be riding thru Europe - that says gothic madness all the way - i think fans may have more enthusiasn for Cage after the KickAss movie this summer- i have faith in the GhostRider flick - ride or die!!!
