#Hell rider film complet series

The fact that it was rated PG-13 has emerged as the main excuse for people involved with Spirit of Vengeance to explain its failure.įor the record, an R-rating, meaning potentially more profanity, violence, sexuality or drug use, does not automatically make a film better. But that film would have been R-rated and Sony Pictures, the studio behind both Ghost Rider films, was not willing to make an R-rated superhero film.

Back in 2000, Goyer wrote a Ghost Rider script that everyone seems to agree was fantastic.

Goyer, who had previously worked on the Blade trilogy for Marvel before moving over to the Dark Knight trilogy for Warner Bros., to write the first version of the script. Cage was, indeed, willing to return, but he requested the tone be darker than the bland first film. The best thing that I can say about this sequel is that the filmmakers tried something different, stylistically. And so, although it took a longer-than-usual five years, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (Neveldine/Taylor, 2012) was produced. Nicholas Cage was still a huge star, and was willing to return to the series. Ultimately, I think the reason is that comic book films had become the biggest genre in Hollywood, and the Ghost Rider property had some name recognition. The producers could have walked back that claim in light of a seeming lack of interest for another film. Sure, shortly before the release of Ghost Rider, producer Avi Arad had announced that they were making plans for a sequel, but that’s standard for superhero films.

Since its release, the fifth ongoing Ghost Rider series was cancelled with Ghost Rider Vol.

The first film, starring Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, was moderately successful, but was not particularly well-liked by critics or audiences. Why make a sequel to Ghost Rider (Johnston, 2007)? The property had only been fitfully popular over its nearly 40-year history, and never had same the staying power as most of Marvel’s stable of characters.
