I thought the plot was lame, the characters were pretty much miscast and mishandled across the board (thinking of you, Blackheart), while Cage's take on the Johnny Blaze character totally missed the mark (jelly bean addict? Really?). It's no secret that I was NOT a fan of the first Ghost Rider movie. Now on to the images that were snapped of Cage on the Ghost Rider 2 set: The film is being helmed by Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, and while I can't be certain, I believe you may spot quick glimpses of the pair in the video below: Moreau seeks a protector for a mother and son who are being pursued by a figure named Roarke, a villain who has detailed knowledge of the Ghost Rider's history. Blaze is soon approached by Moreau, a member of the monastic order of Michael, the warrior angel. Blaze has become a tortured soul who is convinced that his powers are a curse. Oh, there's also one important thing to note: the images also give us a first look at Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider's new motorcycle!įor those who don't yet know, Ghost Rider 2 is supposedly set several years after the first film and finds Johnny Blaze in self-imposed exile (hence, Romania). The videos show star Nic Cage on set, while the video shows a driving sequence (or test sequence) being filmed. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance has started production over in Romania, and today the first set images and an accompanying video have made their way online, landing over on the Marvel Movies Facebook page.
