Father Geek here with this bit Blaize sent in from UK's Empire on Line...
You may have seen this story already, but EmpireOnline is currently running it: Nicolas Cage has signed up for the lead role in Ghost Rider according to Empire Online's impeccable source - Jon Voight.
Interviewed for Empire magazine's regular Public Access section, Voight - who's one of the film's producers - confirmed Cage's involvement as follows: 'It's very exciting - we've got the script and Nic Cage is going to do it. It's going to be quite terrific.'
Voight goes on to suggest he may appear in as well as produce Ghost Rider. 'I may be acting in it,' Voight tells Empire. 'I grew up with comics. I'm a fan of things of the imagination. Science fiction gives you a achance to use your imagination and lets you paint with a larger brush, so I like that.'
