Tijdens een persevenement voor zijn nieuwe film Season of the Witch werd Nicolas Cage ook gevraagd naar Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Tegenover io9 zei hij er het volgende over:
It is a completely different film. The first one, which I wont denigrate I liked the first one, but it was almost like a fairy tale. Almost like a Disney fairy tale interpretation of Faust. This one is completely re-conceived, its not even connected to the first one, its a different origin sequence. But I think it will be a brand new experience. It has more adrenaline involved in the film making process itself, and in the movie when you see it. Again, I think the stuff were able to get into with Ghost Rider is going to be a lot more abstract and not like anything youve seen before.
Im really enjoying my experience with Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Theyre not like anybody Ive worked with before. Theyre total originals. Mark Neveldine is doing things with the camera that are just brand new. Hes on rollerblades. Hes hanging off of wires at 300 feet. Hes just doing things that are combination stuntman and camera operator/director that are quite shocking and quite risky. And Brian Taylor is just a philosopher when it comes to movies. You can talk to him about Michael Powells Peeping Tom, and you can go into Ishiro Hondas The War of the Gargantuas, in the same sentence.
De film zal een stuk maffer gaan worden dan het origineel uit 2007, aldus Cage.
Johnny Blaze has become a lot more sarcastic, now that his head has been ignited. Unlike the first one where he was trying to keep it at bay. Now hes been living with the Ghost Rider for some time, theres a lot more irony with the character. His outlook isnt as quite naive as it once was.
Cage keer terug als Johnny Blaze, ook wel Ghost Rider. Hij verschuilt zich in Oost Europa en slaagt er niet in van zijn vloek af te komen. Hij wordt vervolgens door een sekte aangesteld om het tegen de duivel op te nemen. Deze wil namelijk het lichaam van Blaze's zoontje ten tijde van zijn verjaardag overnemen.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance zal vanaf 17 februari 2012 in de Amerikaanse bioscopen draaien (in 2D en in 3D). Een Nederlandse releasedatum is nog niet bekend.
