Neveldine/Taylor In Talks To Direct Ghost Rider 2



Sony is fast tracking Ghost Rider 2 to make sure the studio keeps the rights. HeatVision reports an offer has gone out to Neveldine/Taylor (Crank) to direct the sequel. David Goyer (Batman Begins, Blade) is responsible for the film's story so it should solid this time around. Nicolas Cage is set to return but he can't be blamed for how bad the original film turned out. Cage gave of some of his best performances recently in Kick-Ass and Bad Lieutenant.


I'm a massive fan of Neveldine/Taylor, their last two films Gamer and Crank 2 have proved the pair can do amazing stuff technically (shooting, editing, practical/CGI special effects). I expect we'll see the RED camera system used again which looks stunning in their hands. Don't get your hopes up just yet though. The directing duo had written Jonah Hex with the promise of helming it but they eventually left. Yet it would very interesting to see them finally direct a comic book film. Considering their history with only making R-rated films I'm expect this film will be darker than the first one.
