Nick Cage has a bad muther of a set of wheels for GHOST RIDER! I'm talking all them Harleys'll look limp by compare!
Hey folks, Harry here... SuperheroHype.Com got handed the exclusive first shot of Ghost Rider's Hellcycle - and Peter Fonda's cycle and the T-800's motorcycle look like wet noodles in compare. Now - the big difference is, those were real and this Luau Hog on an open flame is pixel magic. Doesn't adhere to the laws of physics... notice how the tires are baring no weight - or how the flames apparently don't cast light on the other side of the cycle on the pavement. Ok ok ok, that's nitpicking geek shit. It rocks hard core. Now - show me Nick Cage with all his flesh burning way to a screaming burning skull of vengeance - and Peter Fonda as a mean as fuck Mephisto and I'm there.
Now - I know - that image isn't really big enough for a desktop. Don't worry, just head over to SuperheroHype's Story Page and they've got a big glorious high res shot of this baby. This looks hot!

It looks like Jesse James got hold of a Captain America's chopper from Easy Rider, glued charcoal briquets on it and set it ablaze. The rubber still burns, but the charcoal is ready for those ribs! Yum Yum!

Uh, I didn't say it wasn't cool. I just said it looked burnt .
by harrisonsdad
. . . . and uh, since it belongs to Ghost Rider, shouldn't it? That was the first thing that came to mind, other than making sure I didn't use the "F" word on that initial post. But after I took a closer look at it, I do like the chain-link fork.

cause nu metal is TUFF
-
...and, for that, it's cooler than I thought it would look. I can only imagine how cranky old skullface is going to be in that hotseat, though. "Hey Ghostie... I've got a match for you... your face and your ass! Because they're both on fire... and matches burn... get it?"
-
I love the design. It's like the original GR's bike, but with some greater detail. It's got me excited to know more about this flick. Now let's see some shots of Ghost Rider himself!!

Nice work, seriously. Now I want Xhibit to pimp out the Spider Buggy in Spider-Man 3.

I have to see it on film. The picture is pretty cool, but then again it is VERY CGIish.
I personally prefer practical effects, though I do understand some of the difficulties surrounding having an actual flaming motorcycle about (though it was done for one of the Nightmare On Elm Street film, I assume it was NES 4: The Dream Child) though it is possible. -
Senior would be furious and Jr would get the blame even if Mikey was the real one to blame.
-
this could be good. I love Ghost Rider, and shuttered at the thought of a movie, but that bike looks badass. Color me impressed.
-
I buy the supernatural flames springing up on the bike, but im bothered about how the lighting works...
-
there's no way a bike like that would work with a transmission that size! eh, fuck it, it looks fine, as long as they have a real prop in the movie. this is screaming to be made by one of those custom chopper shows.

I've never been a motorcycle fan, but damn that is a SWEET bike.
by screenplaywriter
Damn, what a beaut! Mark Steve Johnson I think is going to deliver on this one. The only problem is he needs to start showing pictures of Nick as Johnny and Peter Fonda as Mephisto.
If he can leak those pics than damn I'll be convinced this movie is going to rule. And I still stay Mark did a good job on "DAREDEVIL." Not as great as SPIDER-MAN 1 & 2" and "X-MEN" but just as good. -
Seriously, it's not what I expected but still not that bad. I'm looking at it & hearing Fu Manchu's "Hell On Wheels" in my head. Fu Manchu should do the whole soundtrack.

Huh?

I'm another a$$hole who had very little hope for this movie, but the bike looks excellent, and gives me a faint spark of hope that the movie will be good, despite the inclusion of at least one shot of an explosion while Nic walks in slow mo.
-
is because the bike is mystically floating on air. This ain't no earthly bike. This here's a demon bike straight from Hell!

...are not compare. Make explode the wheel both. Hah, hah! I think Harry needs to hire a new Ghost Writer to do the next preview article on this film.

Johnny Blaze will become a spaztic, whiny fool instead of the cool as s#!t Evel Knievel-wannabe stunt bike rider he's supposed to be! I don't care HOW cool the bike looks, with Nic Cage in it the movie'll be sub-par! Oh, and Daredevil was awful too so don't get your hopes up. For someone who supposedly loves his source material he really tends to miscast his lead characters (Affleck, Cage). Shoulda been Johnny Depp as Blaze...

by admiral nelson
...but he's freaking out over an upcoming comic book movie about a dead guy with a fucking FLAMING SKULL who rides around on a heavy-metal album cover motorcycle?! Good God, if there's a more asinine concept for a comic book lead character, please let us know. What the hell was Nic Cage thinking? "Gee, I can't do Superman, so I'll just do the next best thing -- a FUCKING FLAMING SKULL on a MOTORCYCLE!"
-
I'm still pissed that we aren't going to get to see Nicolas Cage as Superman. Oh my god, I desperately wanted to piss myself laughing at him wearing a Superman wig and making doe-eyed Frodo faces while wearing a black rubber, capeless, "re-imagined" Superman suit. I guess we'll have to settle for his CGI flaming skull making doe-eyed Frodo faces.
-
Translation: That ain't nu-metal enough.
/has a copy in the car. -
Awfully flashy design for Ghost Rider. Johnny Had that sweet chopper for years in the comics that was essentially gray metal and little detailing beyond the flamin wheels. That said, I love the chain link forks!
For my money, the closest thing to Johhny's old bike is the BMC Hooligan --->www.bmcchoppers.com -
That's the chessiest thing i've ever seen. But not for long. Once Ghost Rider is on it with his flaming skull head, THAT will be the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. This movie will do Catwoman numbers at the B.O.

by mr brownstone
I will be very happy. That being said this movie needs some Priest in it, I agree.
-
it should be Lamb Of God, Mastodon and God Forbid. They know how to bring it.
-
No really, it is. Looks cool though.
-
that's why I called them "new" metal since they're technically new metal bands. get it? But hopefully you'll get your wish too, and there'll be a brand new Nickelback track in the movie.
-
I mean seriously...why change it at all if it's just going to be minor? It was fine the way it was.

I heard MTV, a couple years back, actually held a mock funeral declaring nu-metal dead, I wish people had of taken it seriously.
Please dear lord let there be no Evanesamenesensence in it, or however the hell you spell it. Amy Lee, whilst attractive, really is just a glamour goth. If any bands were to be used for this, I'd love to see them take a leaf from the crow soundtrack. Rage Against the Machine could be fine, tho overused I admit in movies as of the last few years, Stone Temple Pilots, lets get some good old rock in there like ACDC... basically just a heavy rock soundtrack with a splash of metal.
The bike I think looks fantastic, but remember, a good bike does not a great movie make. I have no opinion on this sucking or being great, I've been burned that way before by films and I'll make judgement when I sit my ass in a theater seat when it comes out. I like Nic Cage, I love ConAir, enjoy The Rock and really dig Leaving Las Vegas. The guy can act, even if he is a bit one-noteish. I think he'll make a fine Blaze, or whichever character it is. I just hope it's not toned down for the kiddie market... 'Yeah yeah so Ghost rider he um walks through this prison, and stops at every cell and kills everyone...' 'Why does he have to KILL... cant he tell them they've done something wrong and should make ammends?' 'Ok ok so lets have him hand out pink fluffy bunnies!' That kind of shit. -
... thinks that looks cool!

by frankdrebin
You know, there have been countless movies where everybody did a great job (props, production design, set design, CGI, sound, music, editing, etc.) except the writer. Yes, it's a cool ride, but WHAT ABOUT THE SCRIPT?
-
but then again, wait, what? Oh yeah, cool looking motorcycle, notwithstanding, this'll most likely suck.
-
While I tend to agree with you on the original score superiority, I won't hear a word against the Crow soundtrack, if only for the truly awesome 'Burn', may favourite Cure song.
-
I understand that Ghost Rider isn't much besides for an album cover in concept, but serious, and especially "dark," movies shoot themselves in the foot whenever they slap songs on top of the rest of the proceedings. A Danny Elfman, Howard Shore or Phillip Glass could do the movie (such as it is) a much more valuable service than AC/DC can.
-
I can't complain about the Crow soundtrack at all. That said, every soundtrack since with any trace of metal has basically sucked for me. Honestly, the Crow has so many elements in common with Ghost Rider in terms of theme and vengeance that Ghost Rider really doesn't have a chance of topping the original Crow film. I do think this hell cycle is a step in the wrong direction. An old beater with matte gray coloring and flaming wheels would have been far more intimidating to me than this cartoon, cool as it is.

by george newman
The symbol presents a slight, irritating optical illusion. Or at least a goofy 3-d design.
-
Honestly, I kind of agree with ya as far as bikes go. The skull on the bike seems a little over-the-top for something Mephistophelean (and don't start, fanboys, I know the argument: "It's Ghost Rider!"). I didn't bother saying anything since it seems kind of pointless now and since it's really a unique design model as far as comic book adaptations go, but since I was glad to hear somebody had something similar to my reaction upon looking at the motorcycle, I figured I'd chime in. Gray beater with flaming wheels I think would have done the trick better. Even just a chopper with flaming wheels. Oh well, whattaya gonna do, right?

This movie is going to kick ass.

this should only have a composed score. Don't get me wrong, I still like metal but not since The Crow has music been picked right. Speaking of The Crow soundtrack, what about Rollin's Band song 'Ghost Rider'? THAT would be cool to have for the closing credits.

And in other news, when the fuck did Peter Fonda sign on to play Mephistopheles? That's pretty cool.
-

The idea of a Michael Franks score was brilliant! But lets not forget Stephen Bishop-- he'd be good, too.
-
I was a big fan of Ghostie during various Vengeance storylines. The ones with Lilith and her kin. Looking forward to a balls to the wall version of the character. Penance star the audience mofos....
Yes, that's the fanboy in me. Now, I know this is going to be crap because of the director. The same director who lurrrvvvvedd DD and gave us a turd of a portrayal. Yes, gritty, DD kills a man....and oooohhh commitment he kisses some bird instead of saving a life, how ambiguous. Meh. -

I was hoping they were going to use the more modern, 90's look.
by darksider
Damn. It's probably going to use the John Blaze stuntman, tight as shit outfit and look totally out of date. Nic Cage I'm not too happy with either. I think it would have been cooler to have a new, younger Ghost Rider as Dan Ketch and then have him run into or seek out the previous GR John Blaze (Nic Cage). Oh well, at least it's getting made and someone appears to be spending money on it.
