GHOST RIDER sees new life at Sony

Sony Pictures, the parent studio behind the release of the record crushing SPIDER-MAN, has bought out Dimension Film's rights to the long-languishing GHOST RIDER comic book series.

As Marvel Studios head Avi Arad, who executive produced SPIDER-MAN and will produce RIDER, told VARIETY, ""Once again, I am very happy to be in business with Sony. And I hope they are just as happy to be in business with me. This is a big, exciting story that has some spectacular visual effects. It's one of the most stunningly visual comic books in our collection."

Shane Salerno is in talks with the studio to write a new script. It is not known at this point what involvement Nicolas Cage will have in the new set-up.

For those of you behind on your comic book reading, RIDER tells the story of a motorcycle rider who makes a twisted pact with the devil and finds himself with a flaming skull head and a supernatural powers, and an angry Satan menacing him.
