The upcoming sequel to the less than impressive Ghost Rider movie has added two more to its roster. Ciaran Hinds, who played a deliciously drunk on power Caesar in TV’s Rome will be playing the Devil, and the beautiful Violante Placido has signed on as well.
Ciaran Hinds (Rome, Life During Wartime) and Italian actress-singer Violante Placido (The American) are in talks to join Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) are directing.
The new film sees Johnny Blaze, aka Ghost Rider (Cage), hiding out in remote Eastern Europe and struggling to repress his curse. Blaze is recruited by a sect to take on the devil (Hinds), who wants to take over his mortal son’s body on the boy’s birthday.
I am not all that excited about another Ghost Rider movie, and the idea that it might be in a remote Eastern European setting kind of removes that image of seeing the Ghost Rider on a demonic urban styled motorcycle.
Maybe if I gave a rats ass about the one dimensional character and wasn’t already let down by the first Ghost Rider movie…
