Why is Ghost Rider 2 still happening? Will we ever find out the method behind the decision to continue on with the film series? David Goyer recently spoke about the follow up to the surprise 2007 hit that starred Nicolas Cage, amongst speculation that the film might be a reboot as opposed to a sequel, a fact Goyer adamantly denies. So, what’s the real deal behind the new movie?
Last week it was announced that Sony would be moving forward with a sequel to 2007′s Ghost Rider, and the story would be based on a script that David S. Goyer wrote 2 years ago. With that in mind, the people over at Collider spoke to both Goyer and Brannon Braga and discussed the status of the upcoming film.
Where are Sony’s priorities? Even though, their 2007 live action take on Ghost Rider made a decent amount of money at the box office, critically it was mediocre. Whatever the reason, the studio has decided to bring back Nicolas Cage and his flaming motorcycle. According to Variety, David S. Goyer is in early talks to pen the screenplay for the sequel, which will have Cage reprising his role as the Marvel anti-hero.
