Columbia Moves Forward With GHOSTRIDER Sequel...

Merrick here...
Columbia is igniting a GHOSTRIDER sequel. Nic Cage is expected to return.

David Goyer is in early talks to create the story and supervise writers for a film expected to once again star Nicolas Cage, who played the highly flammable cyclist in the 2007 original. Through a spokesperson, Goyer said he hadn’t signed on yet. But plans are already under way to base the sequel on a “Ghost Rider” script written years ago by Goyer, whose superhero work includes hit screen transfers of DC’s “Batman Begins” and Marvel’s “Blade” franchise. The original “Ghost Rider” was scripted by director Mark Steven Johnson.

...reveals Variety HERE. Mark Steven Johnson wrote and directed the first GHOSTRIDER movie back in 2007, which was every bit as ugly and awkward as his 2003 adaptation of DAREDEVIL. I never saw the Director's Cut of DAREDEVIL - I hear is an improvement over the theatrical version. Is it? No word on who'll direct this new GR project...
