![]() The physical transformation that happens to him has progressed where he doesn’t look the same, the skull looks different, everything looks different. We’re picking up this character, whatever, five or six years later, and he’s in a much different place. This isn’t that at all, so we wanted to just completely depart and make it a whole thing. “It’s like a Walt Disney version of the Faust story and that’s what Nick said about it, too. “We like the first movie for what it is,” he said diplomatically. So it brings the raw energy of the dialogue and all of that stuff into the action scenes, too.” What’s the language of this demon? What’s the language of this ancient God or whatever he is? How does he move differently? And we nailed it and that’s what makes it so awesome, because in those scenes, they’re alive and every single frame you’re watching Ghost Rider, it’s gonna be the flaming skull, but you’re going to feel an actor, you’re going to feel a performance and you’re going to feel a character in all of those moments. So he’s playing it as a dual role and a lot of the planning that went into the movie and preparation for his role is finding that character. When he’s fighting, 95% of the stuntwork, all the action, everything that is the “GR” is Nick and he’s playing it as a dual role, because the Ghost Rider is possessed by the spirit of Zarathos, it’s a different person, it’s not Johnny Blaze. In the last movie, it was played by stunt guys, so the big thing we wanted coming in before anything else was the Ghost Rider needs to be played by Nicolas Cage, always, all the time. When asked about the decision for the duo to make this movie at this point in their career, he replied, “It’s just that we wanted to really humanize it, and I think the main decision coming in that we wanted to differentiate this movie and make it alive and fresh is that the title character is a CG guy. The locations I mean are just unbelievable.” (More on those in a bit.) “This cast we have on this move is unbelievable, so every day, there are performances that make you walk away super-funked up about what you’re doing. “It’s been going unbelievably well,” he told us. Mark Neveldine wasn’t on set that day, being called away on a personal matter, but his partner Brian Taylor talked to us briefly in between filming.
