Goyer talks GHOST RIDER

With BLADE 2 just a few weeks away from release, writer/executive producer David Goyer is eager to move onto his next comic book-inspired project: GHOST RIDER.

"GHOST RIDER's in play," Goyer recently told COMICS2FILM. "It may end up at Sony, but there are three or four different people interested in it."

People in this case meaning studios, because Nicolas Cage and director Stephen Norrington are still attached and ready to go.

"I'm hearing now [Sony] wants a kinder, gentler GHOST RIDER," Goyer said. "The film that Norrington and Cage and I would have made was a very tough film. It would have been fantastic, but it was a dark movie. I'm hearing now that they want something with humor in it too. I don't know, man... It's kind of an oxymoron to me. The guy's got a flaming skull. I guess you can do happy meals with that... Norrington and I both said we didn't want to be involved with a PG GHOST RIDER."

Thank you Goyer.
