Nicolas Cage will play as Ghost Rider
Do you remember the 'creepo' Ricky Fitts from American
Beauty, the one who liked to video tape 'stuff?' You know, mister death-is-awesome.
Ricky Fitts was played by Wes Bentley, a young actor who was supposedly
gonna have a 'huge' career ahead of him. However, besides his later role
in Four Feathers, the kid kind of fell off of the map. Well, this
will probably change with Bentley's come back to large blockbusters in Ghost
Rider.
Wes Joins Cage in Ghost Rider
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.
Whoo! That's a lot to take in! Bentley should fit into the Blackheart role
pretty easily considering he has the boyish looks and the dark charm.
Ghost Rider will be released some time during 2006. The film will
begin shooting sometime Spring of this year.
