Ghost Rider 2 underway

Well...this is just my opinion but i dont feel that Sony wants to spend another 100 mil on a movie that will only break even at the box office domestically. also if there were a somewhat decent amount of fans (comic fans mostly) a sequel or reboot would be pretty certain. Hellboy is a good example of this...

the fact that Cage hasnt even been contacted by Sony since last Feb is pretty telling too...think even the producers involved w/ the movie havent been talking about sequel plans w/ Sony either. thats pretty odd ...there should at least have been some kind of talks about what they would like to do.
it just seems to me that Sony will just play this safe and coast on the future profits the movie will make them (tv rights, licensing deals, ect) until the
rights run out. just too much risk and not enough guarantee of a profit.

if the budget was reduced to say around 50-60 mill then yeah...maybe a sequal could be possible...but i doubt anyone would want to watch a GR movie w/ cheap cgi (unless it was a direct to video deal..brrr)

imo it was pretty rare and unusual that a GR movie was even made w/ a 100 mil+ budget and a famous actor but i think it will be much much more difficult to get a sequel greenlighted.

also add into all of this is whether or not Marvel wants to even pursue more GR films...but that is just more speculation on my part. have to wait and see what they will do and say,

i hope im wrong but im not getting any good vibes on this....

I see where you're coming from, but I disagree with what you're saying only b/c I'm an optimist and would like to think the reason we haven't heard anything about GR 2 is b/c the producers or whoever is taking it more seriously this time round and is really thinking things through.

They could probably do the movie on a reduced budget now because they won't have to develop the technology needed to handle GR. It's already there. I would think a lot of money was spent on that alone; the figuring out phase of things.

Plus, Nic doesn't need any money. Maybe he'll do it for free? Ha.

heh...if only! :woot:
yeah...maybe that is possible but how often is it where the budget of a sequel is actually less than the 1st film? not talking about low budget horror films but mainstream type films w/ a big name star. dont think its been done before..

the sequel definately needs to be "more" than the 1st....can it be done w/ out inflating the budget? i dunnno...:huh:

Gentlemen, if we can figure out how to do that we should contact Sony immediately!

:woot:

I think it depends on the villain. A villain that doesn't require heavy special FXs won't cost as much.
 
That's very true. There are plenty of GR villains who don't need to turn all CG.

Also, if they can go practical with the FX they'll save lots of money (and it'll look better too). That was something I really liked about Hellboy.
 
GR2 won't happen, at least not with Nic Cage, Mendes, Sam Elliot etc.
It'll be like Punisher:War Zone methinks... it'll be in development hell for a while, then it will finally get greenlit to a whole new cast and creative team.

That'd be nice. Maybe this time they'll get things right and make the film violent.
 
we can always hope... am i the only person who thinks chris bale :brucebat: would be perfect for johnny blaze?

I should think so. Bale is no Johnny Blaze. We need someone who looks like him.
 
I actually think Hayden Christiansen would make a good JB.
 
Johnny Dep would still make a great Dan Ketch.
 
Yeah, it's been a VERY long time. Sorry I haven't been around. Life has a way of keeping you occupied. PM me sometime with some updates on how 'the project' is going.
 
Wow!

FH and BG are here!

Haven't heard from you guys in forever!

:D

heh...yeah id agree w/ FH.....life does indeed find some unique ways of keeping you busy. i recently just recovered from surgery....that pretty much kept my mind off of GR for a short while...everything is pretty good now though

hope you and the family are ok MM.

thanks man....but yeah ive fully recovered. wasnt a big deal though....just had to get my gallbladder removed.
i wanted to put it in a jar w/ big goofy googly eyes glued to it and use it as my new avatar pic....but the docs wanted to keep it for some kind of nutty medical experiment...bleh :woot:
 
OK im glad it was just a routine medical procedure. I would have asked to keep the gallstones though. :woot:

Glad you're OK, BG.
 
I concur with these sentiments. I'm glad to hear that you're doing fine BG. Be well my friend!

Yeah, I've been around, but I got quickly disgusted by the comments after the movie was released and the influx of hate, that I just had to take a break from posting.
