I was one of the few people to like Ghost Rider (read my review). I think Nic Cage is hilarious when he's in "over-acting" mode, and the whole feel of the movie -- a really hokey mix of Western gothic folk legend nonsense, with Sam Elliot reading lines like "He outran the devil himself" and "The thing about legends is, sometimes...they're true" -- is awesome. Awesomely cheesy. Point is, I had a great time.
Anyway, apparently Nicolas Cage did too, because he's talking to MTV about the possibilities:
"There have been talks and good ones with where to go with the character," explained Cage. "It looks like it will take place in Europe and the character will work with the [Catholic] Church. It’ll be a completely new experience. It’s exciting."
While the film is still in its very early stages — no major "official" announcements have been made — Cage was happy to share with MTV everything he knew so far about the next adventures of Johnny Blaze — a former stuntman who, after a deal with Mephistopheles, becomes the vengeance-seeking Ghost Rider. "It hasn’t progressed to [who the next villain will be] yet to be able to say, but I do know it will be shot in Europe and there will be some sort of connection working with different religious figures," he hinted.
Cool. But Europe? Keep it in the American West, man. ❏
