The wind is in his hair, his skull is aflame, he’s dressed in black – everyone’s favorite homeless wizard is back to make sure your movie-going experience will be saved from the mundane.
We’re talking about Nicholas Cage, providing lines in the barely conscious drawl he always manages to deliver them in. We’re talking about him riding a flaming motorcycle constructed lovingly by CGI and dozens of animators, riding it up walls, into the rectums of henchmen, while swinging a giant chain. Do you even remember what the first Ghost Rider was about? Neither do I – but it was apparently a worldwide hit, proving that Nicholas Cage’s hair can carry a movie. The next installment promises to be more in your face, more explosions, more villain punching, more Nicholas Cage doing weird voices and confused expressions – everything that you could want in a movie.
Fun facts? Method Man once wanted to play the character, as one of his rap alter egos is Johnny Blaze, Ghostrider’s non-ghosty form.
Imagine how much of a different movie that would be. Than Nicholas Cage collecting money so he can buy more dinosaur skulls and stop owing the IRS millions of dollars.
Enjoy the trailer.
