Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance Will NOT Be A Sequel?

Nicolas Cage has revealed that his upcoming return to comic book movies in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will actually not be considered a sequel to his effort in 2007's Ghost Rider. (Wait...wha?) A junket interview with Collider to promote this weekend's release of Drive Angry 3D concluded with Cage fielding a question about what audiences should expect from the (also 3D powered) 2012 Ghost Rider follow-up. Besides the typical hype about amped-up action and new shooting styles, Cage actually went out of his way to make it perfectly clear that Spirit of Vengeance is not direct sequel to the 2007 film, even revealing that an all-new origin sequence will be featured in the film about stunt biker Johnny Blaze, whose Faustian bargain turns him into a flame-skulled demon hog rider whenever evil is afoot by night. So, just to reiterate, according to Nicolas Cage, he will essentially be starring in a reboot of his own film?

 

As Cage tells Collider:

 

"A completely original interpretation of Ghost Rider. It's not a sequel at all. It's 'Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance,' everything about it is different including the origin sequence. They'll see new camera movies, high adrenaline, it's like extreme sports. I think the movies going to be an incredibly wild ride."

 

Taking the director's chair from previous helmer Mark Steven Johnson, will be the team of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, whose previous directorial stints include recent high-speed action dramas like Gamer and both Crank films. That fact, taken with Cage's comments, is a clear indicator that the intensity and visuals will be in full focus, rather than any particular storyline. So, any adherence to the previous film, which prominently devoted time to a romance with Eva Mendes' character may have been viewed as an unwanted constraint.

 

Yet, this strategy of releasing nebulous, "technical" franchise reboots is hardly restricted to Ghost Rider. In fact, the same thing is being done with fellow Marvel property, The Wolverine, Hugh Jackman's next turn as the titular adamantium-infused wildman of the X-Men film series. That film, in the same manner, has essentially scrapped the notion of having any connection to the previous X-films, or, for that matter, even the character's solo film debut in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

 

It's an odd thing to ask your audience to come and see a movie with the same character and the same star and expect them to take some magical narrative leap that this is suddenly "a different universe" than the last movie they saw. However, this practice nevertheless seems to be on the upswing. It certainly will be interesting to see if the strategy pays off for Spirit of Vengeance when it hits theaters on February 17, 2012. (Just under a year away.)

 

What say you? Not that the first movie changed the world or anything, but will you be up for this rebooted/retconned Ghost Rider?

The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal… Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Lee Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) — with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard — are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time — six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that’s nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way…

Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever ... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities
