Doubting the Ghost Rider Movie

[xcan28]

I think that's a little harsh, Sony is going to be moving several movies I've heard.

Yeah...and I really do hate being critical as he really does seem like a pretty cool guy, but...but.. there's now more then a year so I guess my fingers are crossed

Hey guys, I want to give you the skinny on all this specualtion. I am one of the producers on GR and instead of keeping you guessing, here are the facts.

First off, no floating budget. We are very well funded and Sony has been wonderful supporting this film. Our effects are first class and Sony Imageworks is doing are great job. In fact, Sony has approved more shots to be finished then was originally budgeted. Don't worry about us getting short changed.

As for the release date change, it truly is for the benefit of the movie. The marketplace is changing and we need to make sure that we have a big window to launch the film. Sony is commited to bring this film out in a big way. It will be their first tent pole of 2007. None of us want to wait, but we understand the logic of the move and will support it. Yes, it's a few months more, but I promise it'll be worth the wait.

Thanks for being so supportive of us. We want to make this film rock for you!!!

Happy Holidays!

Sometimes people just need to feel that their voices are being heard

And as such I have removed any tie ins with GR to the film I shall not name ( FOUR characters...with characters underlined ).

Just make a Crow ONE darkness meets superhero guy with a flaming skull for a head and the fans will dig...it's just finding a happy medium to get ma and pa mid south to buy in and everyone will be happy!

Thanks, Aquinnah. It's nice to hear from someone else involved with the movie. For what it's worth, I'm totally stoked about it.

 

[Uncanny Orb]

Well, this is 37 seconds I'll never get back. Thanks.

Producer?????

I heard from a realiable source that the budget is more than double the $40mil number. Based on what I hear, this is a bigg'en.

MSJ, you are so cool. Sam Elliott? The next thing you know, Peter Fonda will be in the movie.

Wow, MSJ. You are soooo cool. Great info. Ghost Rider will rock!

Doesn't sound like you have anything to do with the movie to me, but if you do, good for you

 

[Uncanny Orb]

I'm thinking not.

 

[Advanced Dark]

There's a whiner or worry wart in every forum.

 

[Uncanny Orb]

I mean Aquinnah is not a producer.

 

[FlameHead]

I was thinking about that too but, I don't really doubt that it is. If so, wonder which producer.

Perhaps it's a question we should ask to MSJ in the part IV...

 

[Uncanny Orb]

Well those are the only posts he's made here (in screenamesuck's post) they don't sound like someone who would have to have contact with MSJ.

 

[Advanced Dark]

GSF? Producer? Must be Gary Foster if it's real.

Avi Arad .... producer
Michael De Luca .... producer
Kevin Feige .... executive producer
Gary Foster .... producer Norman Golightly .... executive producer
David S. Goyer .... executive producer
Stan Lee .... executive producer
Steven Paul .... producer
E. Bennett Walsh .... executive producer

 

[imagine12]

Ya, i'm thinking he is a producer. If he's only posted a few times, that probably means he is very selective about his posts and usually only to answer fans worries. Some of you guys just get off on being skeptical, just chill out, you know producers do read these things quite a bit. However, From what i've seen, GR is going to suck. Mark Steven Johnson is a BAD director. He polishes his shots to such a plasticky cheesiness, that he loses any kind of realism or ground to base his story. Daredevil was bad, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a REALLY big fanboy. Johnson got hired because they made JUST enough money from DD to keep the execs interested. Just like Tomb Raider 2. Nobody wanted it, but the dollars said sequel. Oh, well.

 

[screenamesuck]

Well all I have to go by is his previous posts. No of them sound like he has anything to do with the movie, talking about great info, like it's the first time he has heard it. If he is a producer he would already know that info.

From what i've seen, GR is going to suck.

So what have you seen, because it most not have been the same thing we all saw. Better yet, tell me what it is you wanted to see to make you think this movie will be awesome. I'm curious to know what all these negative people "want" to see to make it a good movie.

he loses any kind of realism

That just sounds funny to me. Lets try to make a movie based on a comic book realistic

 

[Aquinnah]

I must admit, my first posts were silly. I was just making MSJ laugh.

Gary Foster is who I am. You can trust the info.

Merry Christmas!

[mongoro]

if ya are the real deal Gary merry Christmas I kinda feel you are that aside a direct question to you,Does Sony know for a fact since they are vets when it comes to know how much a movie will make$ at the box office do they feel they have areal big winner with ghost Rider?

It wasn't too hard to figure out condidering you're the only producer with the GF initials. LOL What's the "S" stand for. I believe it's you because there are no websites that show your middle initial as being "S" anywhere or at least it's hard to find. But if found it here: http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/artists/f/Gary-Foster/index-319789.html

Also I see you're no stranger to the net and answering questions.
http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/370/370456p1.html

What other films are you producing for Marvel? You involved in Luke Cage? Deathlok? Namor? Any other Marvel films that you can give us even a snipet of an update on.

Merry Christmas Gary, if we can call you that. hehe. I didn't want to doubt that you were a producer but, ya never know on this internet thingie.

Welcome aboard. We really appreciate the time but I have to warn you, now that you're here, you're gonna get questions. In fact, I started your very own thread. Mwa ha ha ha. (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213054)

It's unbelievable that you guys chat here. Who would have thought that we measly (yet huge) Ghost Rider fans would get the opportunity to chat with thsoe who are bringing us the live action version. What a Christmas!

Talk soon, take care and be sure to take a break from Ghost Rider to enjoy the holiday season... but, then get back to work!

 

[DarkMurdock]

Well well well.......if it ain't Gary Foster, the producer that ruined Daredevil with his crappy "fastpaced" cut. Excellent job Mr. Foster, but you do know that had you released the directors cut in theatres a Daredevil 2 would have already been released by now.

 

[Uncanny Orb]

Oh, burn.

 

[FlameHead]

No need to be rude DarkMurdock. The inevitable outcome of DareDevil was not all on Gary's shoulders. A team goes into producing a movie, not just one man.

 

[Syncos]

Touchy subject Gvcool. I've trolled around these boards for awhile, and If i've learned anything, it's that these guys are quite protective of their rider. Heh.

For the record. I think the movie's going to rock, hard.
At worst case scenario, I can see it being like punnisher. Not a (fantastic) theatre income, but end up with massive dvd sales.

Then again, marvel's learned their lesson. The movie wont be R, and it'll likely not be against a Kill Bill 2 sized movie. My estimates are that it'll rock the box office.

in all honesty even before MSJ came on board ive always felt GR would not make it at the box office or even well reviewed. this is coming from a die hard fan from the 70s!
people that ive come across over the years just couldnt accept a flaming skeleton riding a motorcycle. the idea was "too out there" for them...even though they loved the idea that a man dressed like a bat/spider/blue and red long johns would go out and fight crime. ive just accepted it and been able to enjoy talking to the other fans that ive managed to come across...
i feel we are EXTREMELY lucky to have a movie at all! and w/ a 120 mil budget?! holy s$%^! that blew me away...even w/ a huge merchandising line up for support. never thought it would happen but here it is.
so what if the public or critics hates it? even if there are no sequals we got what we wanted. ill still be content and will enjoy the hell out of watching the movie and collecting all of the cool stuff that will be coming our way w/in the year. Enjoy it while it lasts folks....

Man, the TEASER is geeking out a lot of my friends, including the ones who never gave a rat´s ass about GR. I don´t think it will be a blockbuster, but I´m pretty sure it will "be successful enough to warrant a sequel".
