A big worry for me in regards to the comic book adaptation of Ghost Rider was how the CGI would look when Nicolas Cage turns into “the spirit of vengeance”. These worries were deepend when the release date of the movie was pushed back from a mid 2006 release date to an early 2007 one because of production problems.
Well I’m no longer dreading the release of this flick, I can now sit back and relax in the knowledge that Ghost Rider looks awesome.
AICN have got the scoop of a behind the scenes clip posted on the film’s blog which shows director Mark Steven Johnson talking through the visual transformation of Cage into Ghost Rider. And it looks really sweet.
I kinda liked the Daredevil Director’s cut that Johnson put out on DVD and felt it was a bit hard done by from 20th Century Fox who cut his running time by about 30 minutes. It’s still riddled with problems don’t get me wrong but it ain’t as bad as people say. It’s no Spider-Man granted but it’s no Fantastic Four or Elektra either.

Ghost Rider is set to be released in February, and let’s hope the whole movie looks as cool as this footage!

I have been looking forward to this film, while ghost rider is far from being one of my favourate characters I have always found him visually enticing so seeing the ghost rider on the big screen will be a treat indeed. I just hope that they strike a right balance with the so called “love story” angle and the mission of Jonny Blaze/Ghost rider.
Agreed.
The last thing we need is a will they/won’t they love story in yet another comic book movie.
It’s simply not needed.
