Do NOT call this a sequel! That’s what film-makes Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor say anyway. Despite still having Nicolas Cage onboard as the hapless ,motorcycle daredevil cursed to become a soul collecting demon from hell, with a really cool bike, the film is a restart. Think The Incredible Hulk, except they didn’t replace Eric Bana with Edward Norton.

Te film is due out in February 2012 and to be fair the directors of Crank & Gamer do seem to have improved the look of the Rider itself. Also, just as Chris Evan s and Joe Johnston  avoided head replacement effects and shrank Evans down for his puny Steve Rogers scenes, the directors were keen for the Rider to be 100% Cage performance (flaming skull enhanced of course).  So they booted the stuntman idea (in Ghost Rider The Rider was played by a “burly stuntman” and had age come up with some freaky, otherworldly movements; this will also be enhanced (according to Empire Magazine) by playing some of his movements backwards.
Thankfully the bad hair from movie 1 is gone.

Anyway here’s a little bit from the directors and stars Nicolas Cage and Idris Elba...
