The Nicolas Cage discussion thread

[InVictus]

You know, I hope they pull of the skull effect well, because I can't think of a movie where the skulls were done well. Most come off cartoony.
By the way wonderman, are you serious you named your dog panzertank or just panzer, cause although it is my name it is a bit repetitive, panzer being german for tank. So my name is tanktank, just wondering.
Plus anyone know if this is the cycle that he rides as ghost rider, where it changes into the hellcycle, or is that completely differet. I just noticed the chains on the back and was curious.

Pirates of the caribbean's skull were quite good.
Also the CG ones of Kung Fu Hustle are good, imho.

 

[Weadazoid]

He looks god far better then Routh ...LOL

 

[FlameHead]

Which he sold a while ago.

You're right on the tatoo though. He loves this character and should do it justice.

I'm not too familiar with Ghost Rider. But can he just change into Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider whenever he wants?

Nope. Johnny never had that power. Dan Ketch was able to control the transformation slightly as the comic developed. For Johnny, it started out with him only changing into GR at night but later it was developed that GR was taking over the possession more and more often... with Blaze fighting it as much as he could.

I think when he has sold his soul to the devil...and he gets the flaming skull...Nic Cages acting limitations will probably be similar to Andy Serkis' (Gollum/Smeagol) in LOTR.

He's not going to be Ghost Rider for that long. Most of the story is about Blaze and not Ghost Rider and therefor Cage will likely be seen more than the flamey headed character.

Yes, he'll likely do a lot of the digital choreography as well.

 

[FlameHead]

Yes, I am a girl.

Awesome. I didn't know you were a female. You don't have cooties do you? Ha. I kill myself.

I don't think I've met a Ghost Rider fan of the opposite sex before either.

Really wierd. The first official Superman and the first official Ghost Rider pics are released. The Ghost Rider one is better. WTF?

That is weird. They seem to be on very similar paces... so much that they seem to be competing with each other more than they really have too.

Doesn't it kinda suck that the first pic of the Hellcycle got overshadowed right away by the release of the Superman "S" logo, and now this pic of Blaze is all but forgotten as everyone goes into a frenzy over the Routh-in-Supes-costume pic?

I'd laugh very hard if Ghost Rider ends up being the more popular movie.

Where Super-Man has so many die hard fans, it's gonna be critisized much more than Ghost Rider's movie. Ghost Rider has room to surprise people and therefor does have than chance of being more popular.

I do hate that Supermans' news seem to outweigh Ghost Rider's though.

You know, I hope they pull of the skull effect well, because I can't think of a movie where the skulls were done well. Most come off cartoony.

I'm really worried about the look of the skull as well. There really hasn't been a good one, you're right. CGI will be tested once again.

 

[crystal_flame6]

You have now, Biggun.Maybe MSJ will ask us what we think of ideas that he might be able to tell us, since we are his "fans he is in contact with".

Well said about GR.

 

[crystal_flame6]

MSJ did say that Nic is everything he could have asked for and more for GR.

 

[crystal_flame6]

I can't wait to see a good picture of Ghost Rider.

 

[dpm07]

Nicholas Cage is a very gifted thespian who can rise to the occasion and perform incredible acts of acting. He will do this with the utmost respect it deserves in keeping with the Marvel character of Ghost Rider. I personally have complete confidence in his portrayal to provide us with an excellent film depicting the nature of the being Ghost Rider.

 

[FlameHead]

Just like everyone else in this section of the hype... and beyond!

I'd say it'll be a while yet, considering most of it will be CGI and that wont be done until the scene has been filmed. I'm sure they are test images and what not out there we can see though.

Well said about GR.

Thank you.

 

[Alexander]

Uh...

 

[BIGGUN]

lol...he needs to wear some black leather pants or grey jeans over those tights. GR looks a little effeminate wearin those...heh

Cool Image(Hahahaha

)

 

[crystal_flame6]

I like the gauntlets. Looks like GR needs to go shopping and quit copying Batman's style 'cause it doesn't suit him very well. Like a fish in the cat's food bowl.

 

[Exabyte]

Well, I can tell you where all the Manip talent isn't.

 

[DarkHellRider]

Uh...

Lose the tights get soem jeans or black leather and lose the cape and I will be happy

 

[DarkHellRider]

i know realize why the sight is called something awfull

 

[crystal_flame6]

Good point. It should say "Things the trash can rejects" though.

 

[yoshimitsu89]

i cant wait to c the making of ghost rider...if they have one coming on TV....

 

[FlameHead]

Nic indeed is a fantastic actor, one of the best and I'm sure he would appreciate your faith in him. I have the same faith at this time, even though I didn't when I first heard the news of him being Blaze.

Go Nic Go.

 

[Elektra_Kirigi]

Considering how much Nick Actualy loves the Ghost rider comics I don't think he is going to slack through this role.

Nick is realy the first actor who has an avid love of the character he will be portraying

Um.... Jenn = Elektra comic con presentation and ALL of her INTERVIEWS THAT STATE "I WOULD PLAY HER EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AND TWICE ON SUNDAYS" ring a bell?

 

[FlameHead]

They have one what coming on TV? A show about the making of Ghost Rider? Is it like a 30 minute special or something? Is it only in Australia? Hmmm... must find out more.

Welcome to the hype yoshimitsu! Visit us again soon.

 

[FlameHead]

Jenn and her 'Biscuit' can stay outta Marvel's offices forever for all I care. I believe she's a false fan of the character.

 

[yoshimitsu89]

One of my friends told me that Ghost rider was shot in melbourne's collins. st!! DAMN i missed out on it!! BETTZ LUCK NEXT TIME I SUPPOSE

 

[yoshimitsu89]

I heard it was only shot in Australia, but i don't know exactly. I don't even know if there having a speical making of Ghost Rider, we'll have to wait and see!!
