Ghost Rider 2 Not Reboot Says Goyer
Written by Ian Cullen on November 6, 2009 – 11:30 am -
Following up on his initial announcement that he was supervising on the second Ghost Rider movie, writer and producer David S. Goyer confirmed that the second film would not be a reboot, but in fact would continue from where the first movie left off.
In a recent interview for MTV Goyer revealed that the second movie will take place eight years after the first one, and that Nicolas Cage would reprise his role for the film.
“It’s not exactly a reboot,” Goyer said. “I hate to say it’s more realistic, because he’s got a flaming skull for a head, but it’s a bit more stripped down and darker. It’s definitely changing tone. What Casino Royale was to the Bond movies, hopefully this will be to Ghost Rider.”
The story for the new movie is adapted from a treatment that Goyer did for a Ghost Rider movie a number of years back.
“You don’t have to have seen the first film,” he added. “It doesn’t contradict anything that happened in the first film, but we’re pretending that our audience hasn’t seen the first film. It’s as if you took that same character where things ended in the first film and then picked it up eight years later – he’s just in a much darker, existential place.”

much like the 2nd Incredible Hulk movie. GH2 with Cage will stink as bad as GH1. Cage is too OLD for thr role. If I had a wild card choice maybe David Tennant as Johnny Blaze.
