Why does Nicolas Cage always play roles in dark movies? He was an alcoholic trying to kill himself in Leaving Las Vegas. He got caught up in the underground world of porn in 8mm, and was just a little bit psycho in one of my favorite David Lynch movies, Wild at Heart. Why? Because he’s great in those roles!

Judging from the movie trailer of the marvel classic Ghost Rider (click on the Ghost Rider pic in the box below), Nick is set to play his part in another dark role, as Johnny Blaze, motorcycle stuntman. I just checked out the teaser movie trailer at the Sony pictures web site. The talented and sexy Eva Mendes from the comedy Hitch plays a leading role too.

The official movie site for the horror movie Ghost Rider, states that the movie is set to release February 16th, 2007. I’ve also heard that a new Spiderman 3 movie trailer will appear with the Casino Royale premiere on Nov. 17th, 2006. Sony pictures will probably attach another Spiderman 3 trailer to Ghost Rider when it hits the theater in February.

This 2007 adaptation of the Ghost Rider comic book series has Nicolas Cage acting normal during the day has a motorcycle stuntman, but being transformed into a dark, violent figure at night. Johnny blaze sold his sole years ago to save his girlfriend, but the girl wasn’t saved.

I hope this movie is better then Daredevil, and Elektra. Mark Steven Johnson directed Daredevil, and also directed Ghost Rider. I didn’t see any Ghost Rider wallpaper at the official site but you can find it here.

Some of the ghost rider movie pics look good. We may get another trailer out which shows some more special effects from this movie.
