Rider, Nicolas Cage steps up to the task and discusses
what it takes to step into the role of Johnny Blaze.
Nicolas Ghost Rider Cage
The good people over at IESB
have recently got Nicolas Cage to answer a few simple questions about his
role in Ghost Rider and what type of transformation he had to take
in order to adapt into the character Johnny Blaze. Luckily for Cage, there
was not too much adapting required.
Q: Did you find it challenging
or intimidating to step into a character that people already know and has
a set story and were you a fan of that character or have you read the comic
book to research it?
NC: Well, it was simple, it may sound strange but I am
Ghost Rider. (laughing) So it wasn’t that challenging to do that, I had
all the honest, you know, ways of expressing that character and it will
be interesting to see how the audience responds to that character.
Q: Why are you Ghost Rider?
NC: Well he’s a man who’s just trying to take a negative
and turn it into a positive like we all do, we have been talking about that
here today together with the Weatherman, trying to take movies
and do something positive with any negative feelings that I have. Johnny
Blaze is a superhero who had a very horrible thing happen to him and he’s
taking that negative and he’s trying to make something positive out of it
no matter what and um, that’s, in that way I guess you can say I am like
Ghost Rider.
Well, we do know that Nicolas Cage's Lord
of War isn't doing too hot at the box office, so maybe
that is the negative he is talking about. However, I am still trying to
catch Lord before the impressive slew we have coming our way next
weekend. For the entire interview on Ghost Rider, head over to
IESB.
Ghost Rider has recently had its release date pushed forward to
July 14th, 2006.
