Coolest bike I think I have ever seen.

I know next to nothing about Ghost Rider so I can't say how accurate it is, but this looks a bit overdone, doesn't it? Snakes as handles? I think the flames and the skull were enough to get the point across.

Doesn't look too bad though.

Im not sure if its Ghost Rider's bike or someone elses.

There's countless other people in the Ghost Rider comics that ride bikes.


And not Huffy's.

It looks like vengeances bike.

Let's go for the monst obvious thing there is. How many Ghost Rider characters ride bikes with flaming wheels ("Wheels on fire..." Pats and Eddie come to mind :D ) are there? Not too many.

From what I've experienced, a lot of people tend to get lost in details while discussing such things, and sometimes they miss the most obvious points.

EDIT: Here are some official sketches and other stuff related to the movie.

For once Nic Cage looks pretty badass. He looks good with hair.

Ha.

I grew up with the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider, but it won't really matter. I always liked GHost RIder because, visually, he was very very cool-looking. They went a little overboard with Vengeance (a mohawk?), and he just went and became a good guy for a while so there really wasn't much use for him.

I'm optimistic for this movie, though I'm looking forward to Garth Ennis' Ghost Rider miniseries coming this fall even more. Ennis is freaken insane, so this should be good.

New info, new pictures, new news!

Superherohype has released pictures of a stuntman with a green hood riding the bike.

Here's the article along with the pictures.

I say that this bike still rocks and that I really have to see that movie.

holy ****! that is an amazing bike. i mean it does look like vengeances bike, but it is still hot as hell!

Newest news! Apparently there's a poster for the movie.

F*cking. Awesome.

That is pretty cool looking. :)

I don't know, I have to see some more stuff before i decide to see it, I never really followed Ghost Rider.

But the Bike does look Bad ass

Well they had to go for what ever looked more modern but that's okay. As long as it doesnt suck horribly like the Spawn movie <_< I always kinda looked at Ghost Rider as Marvels dark character like Spawn.

What was it that made Spawn a bad movie. I never liekd it either, it was just srt of "Meh", but I could never put my finger on it.

Well, I'm a big fan of the comics and the cartoon, so from that perspective I ahted Spawn the Movie because it f*cked up just about everything.

But looking at it from the POV of someone who's never read a Spawn comic in their life, the movie is still awful. The most glaring problem people tend to bring up when discussing the movie is the CGI. Very early primative CGI. Most PS1 games have better graphics. His cape, the Violater, Malbolgia, Hell, all of it just looked painfully fake.

Then there's John Leguizamo and his attempt to steal the show as The Clown. As a clown he just isn't funny, he's just...stupid. Talking about the skidmarks on his underwear, dressing up like a cheerleader...none of it was funny. It just hurt to watch.

Then there's hackneyed dialogue like "I'm too old for this sh1t". Yep. Never heard THAT one before. Real clever.

And a problem maybe only I ever noticed. Malbolgia was voiced by Frank Welker, and he was doing a specific voice from one of his previous cartoons for the character. Yep, Malbolgia: Lord of Hell sounded identical to Dr. Claw. "I'll get you next time, Spawn! Neeeeeext tiiiiiiime!".

Ugh.

God, that Spawn movie was so awful. It still gives me nightmares.

CGI, right, I remember the effects being pretty bad. But there is one kickass scene: The part where Spawn jumps through the window and his cpae flattering in that awesome way. That was a sort of "Whoa..."-scene.

The bike is at a comic con

Been reading up on it. Apparantly there's gonna be a scene where Ghost Rider faces a tidal wave but keeps burning under water. Apparantly, he's also going to use a shotgun. They didn't *say* it was going to shoot Hellfire, but I have a feeling that it will (as a reference to his days as Blaze in the second Ghost Rider volume).

Nothing was better then the dialog between The Clown and Spawn in the HBO series
Spawn: "Get away from me before I introduce your face to your colon, permanently"
The Clown: "I love it when you talk dirty"

hear is some info of the teaser trailer and on the characters

full linkhere

It starts out showing Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze preparing to jump a line of trucks on a motorcycle at a football field. Intercut with it are scenes of Mendes interviewing Blaze before the stunt for TV. Then, of course, things turn dark. We see various shots of Peter Fonda as Mephisto, Wes Bentley as Blackheart, and a variety of other bad guys with sharp teeth. Sam Elliot is also shown mentoring Johnny Blaze. In one amusing scene, Elliot asks Blaze if he's alright. Blaze responds, "I'm fine but I feel like my skull's on fire." That line got laughs from the audience. Other memorable scenes include a shot of Johnny stumbling along as fire seems form on his feet. The teaser concludes with a shot of a motorcycle cop clocking with a radar gun at the Texas state line. As Ghost Rider approaches, the radar clocks him at 999 mph, then the cop is blown away as the Spirit of Vengeance passes. Ghost Rider himself was never really shown and a brief glimpse given amid a bunch of quick shots was just test footage used for this temporary teaser.

Johnson followed the teaser with a Q&A with Mendes and Arad. He mentioned that they wrapped shooting a few weeks ago. Talking about the Ghost Rider's abilities, he said he will fight with a chain, a hellfire gun, his Penance Stare, and more. He also mentioned that Ghost Rider's flames change with his emotions. When he's enraged, it blazes white hot like a "mane" on him. When he's sad, it is toned down and turns blue. The fire certainly sounds like it reflects the character. As the talk progressed, a young fan asked where they got their cool Ghost Rider hats. Mendes responded by giving the kid her own hat. (Johnson then joked that the rest of the fans would be admiring the rest of her wardrobe hoping to get her to take it off and give it to them.)

Johnson mentioned that Blackheart is the main villain and he's a rebel angel that was thrown out of heaven along with the Devil. For this story, the lore is that rebel angels fell all over the earth when cast out of heaven, now they are 'elemental demons'. It is Ghost Rider, as the bounty hunter for the Devil, who rounds up these rogue demons. Another young fan admired Eva Mendes and asked about her character's name. Mendes said she nicknamed the character 'Roxy' to which the kid responded that Roxy was 'foxy'. Mendes laughed and told him to come back in 10 years. Johnson, when asked what Ghost Rider's wheels would be like, responded that they would be solid wheels covered in fire rather than pure flames like in the comic. The solid wheels gave the bike more weight while the purely flame wheels made it look like the bike was floating.

Sounds promising. Like the Hellfire shotgun; nice reference to Blaze during the Danny Ketch era.

Damn. :ohwell:

Heyhey kids, news on Johnny and the gang. Well, not exactly news, but more a video.

The teaser is here! Get it now!

I even downloaded it and the video doesnt work at all only sound....

Oh yeah, it apparently only works with Quicktime 7.0 or higher.

Yeah, I only got sound, too.

Man, I can't wait for this movie. I've been reading dozens of Ghost Rider back issues and I'm so freaken hyped.

Never said I didn't read your post, buddy. Just that I only got sound.

As for the tidal wave thing, that could very well be a reference to "The All-New Ghost Rider" back in the 70's (after he teamed up with the Champions) when he fought the Water Wizard.

Ghost Rider: the Road to Damnation #1 by Garth Ennis came out today.

God DAMN is this book beautiful! Holy crap!

It's mostly just a set-up for the arc and a retelling of Johnny's origin, but at least it's freakin gorgeous. Johnny's currently trapped in Hell, being tortured for all eternity. A couple angels plan on freeing him so that he can prevent an end-of-the-world crisis and they won't wind up in Hell, themselves, as they're the ones who accidentilly triggered this problem (or one of them is, anyway).

Doesn't look like Ennis has any plans to fix Ghost Rider's shattered continuity. Let's just hope that if he gets an on-going after this someone will come by and do fans that favor.

I enjoyed the first issue as well. but i was seriously bugged by the devil not being danny. like he was at the end of his own series.. oh well.

Well, that was already thrown out the window a few years ago.

Danny Ketch died in the last issue of Volume 2 (which was supposed to be the second-to-last issue but Marvel got cheap). Nobel Kale became the new King of Hell at the end of the issue once he defeated Black Heart witht he help of Vengeance.

Then some moron writing for Peter Parker: Spider-Man had to go and ruin it all. In PP #93 Noble Kale shows up and is apparantly having a mental breakdown. He goes nuts and starts setting New York on fire until Danny Ketch shows up (alive...somehow) and they recombine. That's the last time we ever see Danny/Noble Kale again. Hell got a new ruler after that, too.

Hammer Lane then came along and royally screwed up Johnny's continuity to further the problems.

Ghost Rider is just one big ole headache.
