Ghost Rider Returns

I actually LIKED the original "Ghost Rider." Yes, Cage was too old to play the part as it was written (it looks like they're playing him "same age" this time) and it was silly as hell, but it had kind of a retro-schlock vibe in it's best moments that I wished permeated the whole piece; and it MUST be said: The "on fire" form of Ghost Rider himself is one of the best translations of a supernatural-superhero to live action ever.

NONE of that, however, is a reason to anticipate a sequel. No, the reason to anticipate a sequel is that "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" has been placed in the hands of filmmaking duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the insane geniuses behind "Crank."



Yes, I do believe he's supposed to be pissing flames in that last shot. Normally you'd have to assume it was anything BUT that, but consider who's directing...
