Regisseur Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil) werkt momenteel aan de verfilming van de Ghost Rider comics met Nicolas Cage in de hoofdrol als Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider. Latino Review had een gesprek met de regisseur.

[eng]What made Nicolas Cage the right actor for this role? And what do you feel he has brought to the character that wasn’t maybe in the script before?

"That’s what so cool about Nic, probably knowing how much he loves his character. You know he’s been wanting to make this movie for a long time. It was one of those were again trying to diverse yourself from other movies or other movies you would say in this genre. I like the fact that he’s a man, I like that he’s not a teenager or he’s not a kid who is learning about adulthood and all that of stuff. I like that fact that he’s a man and I like the fact that he’s kind of our man with no name in a way in a western, you have him very weathered, very tan, very lean, very hungry looking. I think it’s actually more poignant that this is a guy who…he makes a deal in the movie as a kid and knowing when will the devil may show up, come knocking and say ok its time I need you. And what’s happened to him in those years now has become this kind of a hunted guy I think it’s really interesting. I think it’s a really interesting way to go."[/eng]
