He always sounded like a cool character. I just never got into him. Is anyone looking forward to the movie being made? Can I get some cliff's notes on what the story of the character is? blush.gif

    i'm a bit ambivalent tbh, i'm not sure cage is the right guy for playing a super hero. on the other hand, it's GR and i like most marvel characters...

    short version is that this guy johnny blaze is a motorbike stunt rider who sells his soul to mephistophiles to save his GF's life and winds up becoming ghost rider, the spirit of vengeance.

    they also did a second version of the character in the 90s, which i read some of, which was a normal joe kinda bloke who's sister was shot and he had her blood on his hands and when he touched this motorbike it transformed, and changed him, so he became GR...

    Yeah, Im pretty pumped for it. Nicolas Cage is a talented actor. I have hopes for it. They just have to make ghost rider freaky as hell, like his skin all melting off when he changes and whatnot. Did you find any links to production photos?

    FYI: The 70's ghost rider was a demon.

    The 90's one was really a Spirit of vengence.

    They both had a stare where they looked at criminals, and all the criminals past offenses where played back right then in the victims perspective in their mind. So they all huddled on the ground afterwords MOST then becoming straight, or insane.

    Quite an effective judicial system he had smile.gif

    I can probably post some photos - my dad's desk in his office overlooks the set in Melbourne so he's been watching it progress from the very beginning. I don't know if the FBI will throw me in the slammer if I post them online though...
