Nicolas Cage will soon be dafting it up playing a sorcerer in Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, but what the world really doesn’t want to see him in is Ghost Rider 2. But that isn’t going to stop the adopted son of Bath from making another hash of his career!

The original made a modest sum even though it received a thousand critical lashes from journalists around the world. Columbia Pictures are proving only fools rush in and are currently at work on a sequel known as…wait for it…wait for it…wait for it…Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Heat Vision Blog report that Crank 1 and 2 directors, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, are currently discussing the prospect of taking the helm.

The one interesting facet remains the involvement of David Goyer. He’s written the script. Good or bad? Remember David Goyer wrote (and directed) Blade Trinity a while back. But he also wrote Batman Begins. So it’s a mixed bag.

Cage, by all accounts, is very eager on returning to the role that made his name. Given Crank 1 and 2 were ludicrously enjoyable the duo could provide a vast improvement on the original if – and it’s a big if – this project gets off the ground. Will Ghost Rider soon be revving his chopper (careful) for another cinematic outing? Stay tuned.
