I am- Nick Cage is a huge ghostrider fan and one of the few celebrity voices that kept asking for a superman movie to be made. He's such a huge comic book fan that he actually named his boy "Kal-El."

So if he's the creative force behind it, you have Some assurance that it'll be good.

Actually, I want to see this one. Any movie where Nicholas Cage's head bursts into flame is one I want to be at. ;) Besides, the trailer did look pretty cool. I guess we'll just have to wait until next year and see.

eh.  I never read much in the Ghostrider fandom.  I think I've got one issue with him in it, but it was a crossover with a bunch of other titles.  The movie looks interesting, but I couldn't say how accurate anything would be.

Nicholas Cage = Huge Fan.

Let's peruse some other huge fans who made comic book movies.
Richard Donner - Superman (1979)
Sam Raimi - Spiderman, Spiderman II
Bryan Singer - XMen, X2, Superman Returns (2006)
Robert Rodriguez - Sin City (even if you didn't like the movie, you have to admit it was a faithful adaption)
Brett Ratner - X3

Movies where fans WEREN'T involved with the movie:
Pitof - Catwoman
Julian Grant - Electra
Ang Lee - The Hulk (weird little asian guy... and he made Brokeback Mountain right after... I don't even know what to make of that)

The only exception that I can see is Daredevil, which was made with the help of huge fans (pretty much every writer for Daredevil for the last 20 years was in it, from Frank Miller to Kevin Smith), and I think the exception proves the rule.

When a fan of a genre makes a film in the genre, it's going to be a far superior film. (crossover examples- Sergio Leone and westerns, Peter Jackson and fantasy/ape movies)

I want to see how the Bible Thumpers are going to react to the idea of making a deal with the devil (and getting double crossed) and then having demonic powers turned to the good of mankind. I think the De Vinci crowd will come out on this one too.

And speaking of Ghost Rider, have any of you read the latest Limited Series that was published for this character? Garth Ennis (who did Preacher) did the books and they were pretty damn cool. The art was fantastic, and the ending was a kick in the nadgers. I have been told that there will be a new series launched for this book. Yee-haw!

I never read Ghostrider - my hell based comics are limited to Hellbalzer and I demand a remake on that piece of shit.
As for Cage, he's only ever rater an 'eh' on my scale of good actors.  So as far as I'm concerned, this looks like a wait for cable kind of movie.
