Blackheart in Ghost Rider
It has been some time since we had posted what we
first thought was an 'internet trailer' for the upcoming film Ghost
Rider and were later disappointed to hear that it was
only an unfinished promotional real. According to Columbia Pictures, the
look of the blazing skull had not yet been finished and we would therefore
have to wait for something official.
Well, we have waited for quite some time and, though it is not a teaser
trailer, Columbia Pictures has released a high-res picture of Wes Bentley
as Blackheart.
Ghost Rider Pics
I don't know what it is about Wes Bentley playing
the role of Blackheart, but the few pics I have seen of him just
haven't done it for me. Bentley has that frail structure that makes his
character somewhat hard to be intimidated by. However, I am talking way
too early on the character and Columbia Pictures may have me placing my
foot in my mouth on the release of the film [or trailer].
Ghost Rider is about stunt cyclist Johnny
Blaze [Nicolas Cage] who sells his sole to Mephistopheles in order to save
his dying father. By doing so, Blaze is forced to leave the love of his
life, Roxanne Simpson. Blaze is later given a second chance when Mephistopheles
offers Johnny Blaze an exchange. If Blaze becomes the fabled Ghost Rider,
doing service and providing vengeance for Mephistopheles, he will be allowed
the return of his soul. With the ability to recover his lost love, Johnny
Blaze quickly takes this option. However, Blaze gets more than he bargains
for when he must match up to Blackheart [Wes Bentley], Mephistopheles' enemy
and son. Mephistopheles is the devil, and his son is attempting to outcast
him and create a hell worst than what already exists.
