Negative, Ghost Rider



Director Mark Steven Johnson did such a bang out job adapting Daredevil from a Marvel comic-book series to a feature film, Sony Pictures decided to give him another shot behind the camera. This time, instead of a blind motorcycle-riding hero like the one Ben Affleck played in Daredevil, we get the titular Ghost Rider, a flaming (as in on fire, not homosexual) motorcycle-riding zombie by night and a daredevil motorcycle-riding stuntman called Johnny Blaze by day, all played by Nicolas Cage. Eva Mendes, Sam Elliot and Peter Fonda also appear on screen to say things like, "Johnny, No!" And: "By night, in the presence of evil, the Rider takes over."


Years ago, Johnny cut a deal with Mephisto (Fonda, as the Devil) and is cursed to ride his blazing hog through the night. I can only assume the movie follows Blaze's attempts to free himself from the curse's clutches and probably save the world too. Along the way, it seems he'll have to contend with some, er, fallen angels. I'd better let Mark Steven Johnson explain:




Well said, Mark.
