Ghost Rider Poster
When we saw the new trailer for Ghost
Rider on Wednesday it was easy to say that it looked way better
than expected. It turns out, however, that there was enough criticism for
the trailer floating around online that director Mark Steven Johnson has
responded to clear some things up.
Mark Steven Johnson Talks Ghost Rider Trailer
It turns out that there were a few things that
the Ghost Rider fans didn't like about the trailer. Some
of the issues included Ghost Rider's voice, his transformation sequence
and lack of action shots. Johnson responded to these complaints over at
SHH
by reporting that it was all the MPAA's fault. Well, kinda.
First, the TRANSFORMATION. Ghost Rider is a
PG-13 movie, albeit, a very intense PG-13 movie. The MPAA governs the movie
trailers as well. And one of the rules is that you can't show people on
fire in a PG-13 trailer. Obviously, this presents a problem for us. So for
the fans who have wondered if that's all there is for the transformation
-- God no. Not by a long shot. But that's all we can show.
Second, the VOICE. The voice of Ghost Rider
can't be judged on an internet trailer. There are multiple tracks of animal
growls, fire, rusty chains, etc. mixed into Ghost Rider's voice. But all
of those tracks have to be terribly condensed into a trailer like this and
so all you can really hear is a deep, raspy voice. Trust me, GR's voice
will rock the movie house.
Check out Mark Steven Johnson's entire response on the Ghost Rider
trailer over at SHH.
Ghost Rider opens to theatres on February 16th,
2007.
