View Full Version : Discusin' the Villians

what does everyone think of the choice of mephisto as the lead villian for the movie i'm not sure it could end up being a crappy CGI creation like at the end of hellboy.I would have preferd Blackout or deathwatch.I guess there saving Vengeance for the sequel
BIGGUN
10-24-2004, 02:48 PM
Mephisto HAS to be the main villain....he has been since day one of the original series and even the 90s series(or at least he was called Satan back then).
to not include him in the movie would be a big mistake.
now the only thing is i do not want to see him fight GR....Mephisto never engaged in hand to hand combat w/ lesser beings. he was always the dude who controlled things ....had other creatures do his dirty work for him.
if its true on what MSJ told me about Blackheart being in the movie he would be the one who would fight GR. that i can see happening.
really dont want Blackout as the main villain....he wouldnt last more than 3 minutes in a fight w/ GR. unless, of course they give him more powers which would not make him "Blackout" anymore. he would make a good lesser secondary villain though....something like a henchman type of role.
Vengeance might work....but use him for later sequels (if any)

i am just getting into GR at the moment as its hard to get books so i take your more informed point about mephisto who by the way is blackheart.
do you know the budget for GR or if anyone will be cast as mephisto or will he be CGI(hope not)
i wondwer if it is only moderately succesfull like punisher if they might put the 2 together like AVP
BIGGUN
10-24-2004, 03:32 PM
the budget of 70mil has been talked about for a long time but then i heard it was 40 mil. maybe 70mil is the total amount after marketing costs...we will see
since Cage is attached as Blaze and that Sony wants this to be a Summer blockbuster type of film im sure they want this to do better than say Hellboy...maybe they want it to get about 100 mil at least.
im not worried too much about the cgi...from the looks of things the producers want this film to do well. it would be a great embarrassment if they used crappy cgi effects for a film that stars someone like Nic Cage. just wouldnt look good on Marvel's part.
no one has been cast as Mephisto yet....but who knows they may make an announcement this Wed at the Q&A session in Melbourne.
i do hope they dont show Mephisto's true form too much....it always seemed creepier to me when they just hinted at Satan's true form.
Hunter Rider
10-24-2004, 03:56 PM
$70M dosent sound bad but ithink that $100M shouldve been given to MSJ
there will be a lot of visual effects and there is nothing worse than bad CGI to bring you out of a good movie.
Do you think he will get the kind of leway LOTR got with violence?
CaptainStacy
10-24-2004, 04:03 PM
They should go with Lilith as the main villain. That way her Lilin (demonic offspring) can be used as serious challenges to GR....plus, think of all the cool action figures!!!
BIGGUN
10-24-2004, 04:27 PM
Do you think he will get the kind of leway LOTR got with violence?
i think they can....simply make quick cuts right as you see something get killed. and if you noticed in the LOTR films most or all of the dismemberments were orcs and goblins. i think they can get away w/ the gore since the beings that were being killed were not human and did not have normal colored blood.
Lilith would be cool....but again i would save her for if/when Ketch becomes the new GR. you could really make several films around Lilith if need be.
Blackheart can still use underlings....after all he is the son of Mephisto and would be entitled to using cronies like his dad. added to the fact that BH and Mephisto want to kill each other it would add some cool background for BH. he could even be a slightly sympathetic villain if need be.
BH in his own warped view of reality feels that he would be a better ruler of Hell than his father and that mankind would be better off if Mephisto is gone.
sadly he feels that "the ends justify the means" and uses tactics just as bad as his father's to reach his goal. maybe where thousands of innocent people would be killed as a result of BH attempting to destroy Mephisto.

Just read MSJ's melbourne comments.
The abandoned railway chopper Chase sequence sounds potentially awesome but budget stretching.
I hope it dosen't replace the scene where Gr rides up the side of a skyscraper and jumps through a chopper that avi arad mentioned in empire.:ghost:
FlameHead
10-27-2004, 01:35 AM
I can't believe it's taken me so long to post to this thread. I've been passing it by lately as I've only been on these boards at work and I just didn't have the time necessary to make a good post. Now I do. So... here I am, now that the conversation has dried up. Better late, than never I guess.
Mephisto
I'm happy that Mephisto is the baddie, like most other people. After all, without him Johnny Blaze would never have become Ghost Rider. If this is an Origin story (and I suspect it is) then they're gonna need the guy (and I use that term loosely) that created him.
I agree with BIGGUN on him not being shown in true for at this time as well. The longer we think the guy is human, the better. Having said that, I think there should come a time where we do see his true form. Perhaps in a sequal. Why? Because there are some really great panels that I would love to see in motion.
I wonder who's gonna be casted now....
Blackheart
If he is used, he should be a henchmen and probably will be. Mephisto will probably rise him from the pits of hell and send him loose. Ghost Rider will make way with him and move on. I wonder what he'll look like if he is used. Will he be in his true form or be hiding like Mephisto likely will?
BIGGUN, I took some pics of him from the HOD book. I'll post them here when I get a chance to photoshop and upload them.
Blackout
Hunter, you mentioned Blackout in your first post and didn't really talk about him much after that. I think it's because BlackHeart started being discussed. Anyway, I think he'd make a good villian as well but probably can be saved for the Lilith Storyline that I hope happens someday. He is a Grandson of hers...
Lilith
As much as I love her as a villian and as much as I love her entire family I think it's too big, too soon. I mean, the story in the comics span over 5 or 6 titles involving tonnes of issues. I know this can be condensed but it'll still take a lot of time to develope. I picture her story as a trilogy alone... and we'll probably never see that happen.
Vengence
I don't know about having Vengence on screen with Ghost Rider. I think it would be too confusing and would in turn take away from seeing Ghost Rider on screen. Two flaming heads aren't necessarily better. It's sorta like the whole Blade and Hannibal King thing. Having two vampires fighting side by side would take away from Blade being a vampy and fighting other vampies... so they made Hannibal king an ex vampy.
PLUS, Vengence becomes a good guy after a short peried of time and ends up discovering that he has part of the Medallion of Power. He is a Midnight Son. This means, he's not really an enemy.
This is him......

But, Jon Voight is not acting in Ghost Rider anymore.. but he is going to be a producer.. so he is still attached, but in the same position..
I do agree.. he would've made an awesome villian..

First of Great to see GR with his own forum.
Secondly thanks for the cool vengeance pic and all the info.
Read the MSJ Q&A report not a lot of info though,why havent they confirmed Cage is there a problem?
still i liked the modern western analogy.
ive mentioned this before but does anyone know if this qoute from avi arad is about a definate scene in the movie,"when you see Gr ride his flaming motorcycle up a skyscraper and then jump through a helicopter you will beleive" ?
as for story do you think MSJ wiil make it work i have been reading up and its pretty heavy stuff ?
I take your point about Vengeance.
Do you think they will have an ongoing storyline for the whole run(hopefully 3 at least) or a different villian story for each ?
if they go different i would like to see Centurious with Steel Wind And Steel Vengeance as his henchladies(i want some bike on bike action!) this would mean you could still keep mephisto involved beacause of his link to centurious.
I hope i got that last bit right.
Does anybody agree Gr will be the most Visually amazing hero ever put on screen ?
Anyway i am just glad its finally getting made.:) :ghost:

If the movie is successful then, it'll get three. I think it will be successfull. If it is, I'd love to see a Lilith story line come into play. I do agree that a Steel sister battle would be awesome... and most likely the way they would go with a sequal.

But isn't Blaze's greatest foe Zarathos?
FlameHead
10-30-2004, 03:18 PM
In a way, yes. Zarathos is the entity that possesed him. Zarathos is Ghost Rider. Blaze was always fighting with him for control over his body.
Years after they were seperated, he fought him again, this time along side the 2nd coming of Ghost Rider (Noble Kale). Zarathos had escaped his enprisonment in the soul crystal and joined forces with Lilith. Of course, the bros stopped the destruction in the end.

Uncanny Orb
06-23-2005, 06:25 AM
I'm guessing it will be like most movies that have demons in them, they spend all of the movie in a human form then for the final battle they reveal thier true form, which I hope is just like the comic. But he will probably have a shotgun. :(
FlameHead
06-25-2005, 08:44 AM
You're probably right on that. They are going with a western type theme which means a gun is almost needed. The shapeshifting idea you mentioned is likely the way they'll go as well. It's too expensive to have him full CGed all the time. I REALLY hope he's like he's supposed to be though.
Hmmm... I wonder will he be riding a bike?

Well i know that theres already a thread like this but my title is different so is the concept, what i mean is i dont mind that BH is in human form for most of the movie but he should have trasformations with glimpses of him killing people, you know like seing only a silouette of him in beast form and seing him grabing people by the necks and just disapearing them, and also see like the shine of his eyes, almost each time he's on screen in his human form showing like he's dying to transform and break lose on everyone you know like seing his face like ripple and his skin like change for less than a second just to freak people out, and then by the end transforming into the huge muscled black blue demon we all know and have him and GR have a massive fight and BH broking GR's chain and forcing him to use his bare hands in a battle involving fist head buts helfire you know all hell breaking loose, what do you guys think,tell me your thoughs

i never caught BH's 1st appearance....it was in Daredevil wasnt it?
BH or Mephisto appearing human in the film should not be a big deal......just as long as they are shown in their true forms at some time in the film. it would just make sense that if demons/devils are trying not to attract attention they would appear like a normal person. its a standard trick in alot of devil films.
FlameHead
07-24-2005, 03:44 PM
Aye, it is. I dont' mind that at all... but as you say, they must show something more than that. There has to be some sort of demon form somewhere.
As for BH's first appearance... I'm not sure either. There just isn't any good profile's about him online... which is strange.
Doombringer
07-27-2005, 09:10 PM
The characters of Mephisto and Blackheart are... very demonic in appearence at best. My hunch is that they'll appear in human form for most of the duration of the film, but do you think they will appear as their comic counterparts? Perhaps close to the end of the movie, their true forms will be unveiled to dramatic and visually awesome levels. Kinda like the feeling you get when you see Satan in End of Days at the end. Mephisto is pretty much Satan of the Marvel Universe, his power is on a universal scale, hes gone toe to toe with the likes of Galactus, Thanos, and Surfer periodically.
My feeling is that he deserves the right treatment for his appearence. More so Blackheart, whose even more visually menacing than Mephisto. Perhaps on Mephisto's part they can change his true form around a bit so he doesnt have his reseding hairline, red undies, and loose sock looking boots... but Blackheart is perfect, hope they dont change a damn thing.

I certainly dont want to see Mephisto running around in a red cape w/ socks...that would not work for the film. they hired Miles Teves to do conceptual artwork for the movie...and if youve seen his stuff he speciallizes in demons and devils. the classic style of hooven feet, huge bat wings, goat's horns, ect. sounds good to me..
Blackheart's comic appearance definately would work in the film.....i just hope that rumor of him looking like a nosferatu is false...or at least that is just one form he changes into. it would be a supreme waste if they dont have BH look something like he did in the comics.
MSJ did say you would see their true form at the end of the film and get little hints during the movie that are not human. that sounds cool to me

Having seen that Extra footage, I think the report on Blackheart could have been confused with this water guy... who we believe to be Wallow.
I'm really hoping that they do the comic Blackheart. I really am.

I just mentioned this in the "Ghost Rider FAQ" thread, but there was a set image (it's posted in the IGR gallery, but that's down) where Peter Fonda as Mephisto talks to Johnny Blaze (Nic Cage).
In the pictures, Mephisto is dressed in a black overcoat, looking like Peter Fonda with the hair slicked back, and I'm sure that wicked smile.
As MSJ said, their true appearances will show up at the end of the film, and only certain showings will appear throughout the early and middle parts of the film. He compared it to the "Black Hole Sun" music video, by Black Hole Sun (Which I'm going to try and put online, instead of just screen captures.. but anyways).. how the skin bubbles, and the smiles stretch a little farther then humans.
Again like I said in the other thread, I just watched "Constantine." Balthazar in that movie looks completely human, dressed in an Armani suit with slicked back hair, but at the end of the film, he shows a form truer to his real evil self, then the human look. I think that "Ghost Rider" will be just like this.
Humans dressed up to blend in, but at the end.. the blender is turned off.

I think the scene where that guy walked down the street, with lamps shutting off near him was hinting that. Someone must analize frame by frame who exactly is that guy. If it's Meph or BH, the darkness power could be like some "generic" evil manifestation, if not, i think it's very probable it is a special power.

-- There was a report a few months ago by someone who saw concept drawings for Blackheart stating the character looked like a "nosferatu type creature". Is this description true?
Blackheart is shown in what I consider his "Human form" for much of the movie. But along the way we get hints of what lies underneath. By the climax we see his true self -- and it's horrifying. There will be some of the classic comic look along with other horrific elements to his look.
I'm excited that we'll see at least some of the classic comic look... and that we're going to see his true self indeed. Yee haw!

Some info from the comiccon; http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0508/20/ghostrider.htm
Question: Is there a pact like there is in the comic book?
Johnson: It is a Mephistopholes-based deal, and it's always in the background, and then Blackheart is the main villain. I did a lot of research on demonology and one of the stories I founded fascinated was the whole rebel angel story, where Lucifer led the charge into Heaven and when he lost, St. Michael cast him down and all the rebel angels became fallen angels.
One of the mythologies I really liked, some of the fallen angels didn't follow Lucifer into Hell. Some landed in the desert, some fell into the ocean, some kept falling, and they became elemental demons, demons that hide in the elements. I thought that was a really cool idea and so that was kind of the basis for Blackheart coming here. Blackheart's tired of waiting for the End of Days, so, like a lot of young people, he says I'm going to give my dad the finger and do it myself. So he comes here and he begins collecting these demons. So Johnny as the Ghost Rider must find them and bring them back.

Interesting...using "accepted" Christian mythology gives the movie a wrinkle that makes it more...valid, I guess?
It gives the movie a few touches of influence outside of the comics, which make it more transferrable to the "real world," making it more acceptable to non-comic folks.
Well, as believable as a flaming skeleton biker can get, I suppose.
I guess it gives the story more weight and history. Like, this stuff was going on before Blaze's life, and will be happening well after.

Nice find, Midnyte!
Despite my non-Christian beliefs, I find the Bible one of the most fascinating works of mythology out there. I like that MSJ seems to be thinking outside the box on this one, giving us a little more to chew on. I mean, a rebel demon is inevitable, as it's not like they can fall any further...a second "fall" is almost inevitable.
Man, this makes me want to go listen to Danzig's Black Aria now!

Mark is a great writer, no doubt about that. His ability to make things work in our world is beyond most. Having the fallen demons come both from the Marvel universe and from our own mythology is just brilliant.
Reading some (not a lot) of the info on Abigor (pretty much what was said here), I look forward to how they describe the character. If they stay loyal to his character, I wonder if Blackheart lured the demon away from Hell in order to take it over knowing the character's influencial power as well as control over his 60 legions, or is it just the namesake they took.
Note: Found my information of occultopedia.com. Nice little site.

I don't think they're shooting themselves in the foot. If you're going to have Loki, you're going to want the cat to be an A-list actor.

Abigor
Eligos (also Abigor or Eligor), in demonology, is a Great Duke of Hell, ruling sixty legions of demons. He discovers hidden things, and knows the future, of wars, and how soldiers should meet. He also attracts the favours of lords, knights and other important persons.
He is depicted in the form of a goodly knight carrying a lance, an ensign and a sceptre (a serpent to some authors, most notably Aleister Crowley).
Alternatively he is depicted as a ghostly spectre, sometimes riding a winged horse.

As the story goes in the new GR movie, certain angels were cast down from heaven and landed on earth, taking up the 'elemental' properties, right? We see a water one in the clip, I'm sure there's a fire/magma, lighting, etc.... So what does Blackheart fall into? The heart of man? The absence of light? The element of human hate? In the comic he's born of man's hate/fear/evil, and all that nasty stuff that we're capable of.

i think the elemental demons are the 3 cronies (Abigor, Gressel, and Wallow)....Blackheart is a different kind of demon. there is a wind/air, water, and earth (made of dirt and worms) but the fire demon is well...Ghost Rider himself only he is the "hero" demon i imagine.

This is interesting when thinking of the master chess game being played here.
Blackheart, major threat, king on the black side collects his army knowing full well what Mephisto, King on the red side, is going to use first to attack; Ghost Rider. In this universe it seems that perhaps GR is indeed the elemental demon of fire and if that is the case, Blackheart would want to gather the 3 opposite demons for his side. Water beats fire and all that jazz.
Unfortunatly, (or fortunatly) Blackheart and perhaps even Mephisto don't realize that there is another player in this game and that player is none other than Johnny. Blaze's heart and love and humanity is inveitably what will win this battle, this master chess game between higher beings, because that is exactly what BlackHeart is against. He feeds on the hate, fear and evil as was talked about.
So, anyway, the elemental demons are one one part of the story and just because they're there doesn't mean all the demons have to elemental. There are many differen't pawns that can be used.
...I spend far too much time thinking about this movie and/or character, by the way...

I found it on Internapse.com (great site!) and I've never seen it before. I don't know why though.
It looks ALOT like his friend who was in the trailers. "You should be taking a dirtnap after that ragdoll today." "Luck don't cover it JB, you've got an angel watching after you."
What, did he have an eating disorder or something?:confused::p
Sorry for the old picture, I'm curious on what it is. I did a search for "zombie" and didn't find anything.
Do people turn into zombies in this movie somehow?!:eek::D
I hope the scene where the picture above is from is scary as heck!
BIGGUN
10-21-2006, 04:36 PM
its a photo from Fangoria.com. its not a zombie but one of Blackheart's victims as he drains the lifeforce from the dude (i would guess its his lifeforce). but yeah it does look like the guy you described (Mack?).
also remember from the trailer where Caretaker warns Blaze to keep away from people that BH could use against him. i suppose he means anyone that Blaze cares for will be targets and why the demons go after Roxanne. sortve like how Blackout (in the 90s series) went after Ketch's family

I just remembered the shot in the trailer when Blackheart had his hand on Roxanne's face. Her skin was looking like JB's friend up there.^

And what about that jail scene? Anyone know how JB gets arrested? Maybe after he falls in the water in the chase scene?

MSJ said Blackheart would have something simular to the comics in the movie.
Yes, we'll see Blackheart...MSJ did say that...but I don't think he mentioned anything like that for Mephisto...or did he?
There are hints of both of the comic book forms of BH and MP in the trailers.

Bad news...:(
My friend read the novel (he found it before I did lol:(. I'm getting it tonight) and he said that it doesn't say ANYTHING about Blackheart having the comic book's demon form. He said it just stops at the blue face with black eyes and sharp teeth, etc. He said Mephisto's form was shown for a brief second in a bar scene with Blackheart (the shot was shown in the trailer). Blue wrinkly skin, black eyes and teeth. Now, could the novel have just left out Blackheart's final form description so it's more of a suprise in the movie? I think it may be. Hopefully....considering MSJ said we'd get something close to it. I'm hoping to see the comic's form.
