It has but was a while ago and this was still speculation at that point. Glad it was him. I don't see any other actors fitting that role. Wonder if they will keep the same bike from the commics or change it to something more popular...

Mind my utter ignorance, but what is it?

The fact that Nic Cage will be Ghost Rider.

One can only hope the movie's SFX artists can do better...

Hey thanks for that, now I feel more knowledgable. Not too sure if that is even a word, so more knowledge is needed.

Oh yes that's all we need. A major production movie that shows non riding boy racers that it's cool to ride like a total fuckwit.

EDIT: Oh wait that was Torque. My mistake sorry.

Hopefully they dont sit him on a harley or some other ugly creation, but alas i used to have a ghostrider comic and as tragic as it is i dont think he ever rode a sports bike. :dodge:

I hope the script calls for plenty of somber pouting - cause thats all he can do - I saw 20 minutes of 'the rock' with connery this week and cage was just plain shite. So bad I still remember it now.

Nicolas Cage is a big comics fan (his real surname is Coppola... yes, he is related to Francis Ford Coppola - Cage is the surname of one of the first black cartoon character or something). Especially 'Superman'.

Which is how his new son has come to be called... Kal-El... which was Clark Kent's name when he was a baby on the planet Krypton!

How much stick is that kid going to get at school in a few years time?

Ya reckon he'll be as good as Reno Raines "the renegade" ??

Fire that fricken Cage fella, and hire the REAL Ghostrider, care of Stockholm, Sweden.

Chopper + Ohnoestotalevilguy! = cliche/boring

Sprotsbike + GR = Arsekickery

found this site from Sony. Shows a 'teaser' too. Isn't too DU friendly, so I wouldn't really bother. But if it's someone else's internet, or you've got fast stuff, then it's worth the peek of what's to come.

SFX look pretty awesome.
Oh, and it's also not to be confused with the Ghost Rider that lane splits at 300kph on his 499hp busa on the back wheel. This is the comic book version.

Mmmmmmm... Nicolas Cage.... :drool: :drool: :drool:

We might be safe on this - GhostRider's the Marvel superhero who rides around on a motorbike. With his head on fire. His special superhero superpowers appear to be

a) riding a bike

and

b) having his head on fire

So maybe Mr Cage can pull this off :)


Anyway, The Rock wasn't up to much but I liked Adaptation. Maybe less in the way of guns, explosions and nerve gas suited him better.

Tall tales, he is alive and well and rides for a Sweedish stunt team.

[Grantasaurus]

Dammit I thought you were talking about the crazy swede, not the silly comic book character :(

I got all excited about the idea of someone making a movie about the worlds foremost outlaw motorcyclist...

[MyGSXF]

Mmmmmmm... Nicolas Cage.... :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Guitana]

As an actor nicholas Cage sucks!!! Have you seen his movies??My missus made me go to that twin towers movie I was so overcome with Nausea I had to leave!!! Shame he didnt accidently shoot himself filming The Lord of War!!
A dead bodie could act better than him and have more personality!!
Give it up Nic you suck harder than a thai lady boy!
You just killed the Ghost Rider!!

Enjoy the freefall while it lasts the next bits gonna hurt!!!
