Lol! Indeed.... I think there is no doubt it will be scary! More of a horror perhaps? flaming

I really enjoyed hearing them talk about the whole 3-D thing, I don't know much about it but the hardware software war is interesting. Amazing how technology is leaping forwards! we will all be living in a holographic reality soon.... or become aware that we already are! stars

This is cool:

Whoop! yeah the buzz is tangible isn't it Gina! flaming when they speak these two are that very compelling mix of clever and knowledgable, edgy and with a real upbeat vibe, their sarcasm is never kind of at anyone elses expense, which is cool!

 I had a chance to go to Comic Con in San Diego this year, and although I didn't get close up and was a mere penny in the back of the room during the Ghost Rider press junket, Nic really knows how to carry a room.  People were literally fixated on him.  He IS truly mesmerizing!!!!

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Directors Say, "Nic Cage Is As Insane As We Are"

In an interview with Marvel, the directors, MarkNeveldinemag-glass_10x10.gif and Brian Taylor talk about the eccentric Nicholas Cage.


New%20Ghost%20Rider%20Pics%20Roar%20In%20-%20Movie%20Galleries%20-%20Empire_1312381396240.pngMarvel.com: Nic Cage did the first Ghost Rider movie and has some familiarity with the character. What was it like joining up with him and taking what he took from the first movie and grafting it onto what you wanted to do?

Mark Neveldine: We gave him an opportunity in this one to play it as a dual role. We didn’t just want him to play Johnny Blaze, we wanted him to play the the demon, we wanted him to play the GhostRidermag-glass_10x10.gif. So he created this whole new physical language for that character. It was completely distinct from Johnny Blaze. That was a lot of fun. He’s so passionate about it and so cerebral about it. Talk about controlled chaos, that’s Nicolas. Nicolas thinks about everything that he does, and he’s got a reason for it. An intellectual reason and a poetic reason for every choice that he makes. Once he has all that foundation, that’s when you let him loose. Then it’s just a ramping the knob up. “Oh, let's do this take on 11, Nic. Let’s do this one on 15. Maybe you can modulate this down and do this on nine and half.”



Marvel.com: I know you guys shot most of it over in Romania and Turkey.
What led you to go to those sort of locations?

Brian Taylor: The script was actually set there. We don’t like to shoot a lot on stages, we like to use real locations as much as possible. We prefer to put our characters in real environments [rather] than building sets.




I included that last quote because it's the only thing out of the mouths of this directing duo that didn't sound like a freaking Mountain Dew commercial. Seriously these guys say rad and dude like they're filming C. Thomas Howell volleyball 80's movie, Side Out. Anyone remember that movie?

But on the positive I am glad that this odd duo have some traditional and grounded beliefs on how to approach the locations of the film. I really do appreciate films going to strange and new for me locations. Something I haven't seen is always a bonus, a feast for my eyes. And how many Hollywood films are shot in Turkey or Romania? Not too many. So, even if the movie isn't "rad" I'll still feel like I got a cheap trip to an exotic land and not some cgi bull crap. I'm looking at you Mark Campbell!

You are very lucky, Gina, I would be very happy to be able to watch Nic somewhere like that! I agree that he is mesmerizing, it is impossible to keep your eyes from him!

Cool Neveldine and Taylor interview here with Marvel!

flaming

 

 

landscape_large.jpg
Nicolas Cage will play Ghost Rider as well as Johnny Blaze in "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance"

Marvel.com: You guys are known for a style that I’d describe as “tightly controlled chaos,” where it’s always constantly moving and it never slows down.

Mark Neveldine: Punk rock filmmaking.

Marvel.com: I like that! Will you guys be employing that same style with "Ghost Rider"? Is there anything you’ve changed or shifted at all?

Mark Neveldine: Yes, we have hired that style for "Ghost Rider." [all laugh] That’s the way that we work, [with that amount] of intensity and adrenaline. That’s how we always work. [Ghost Rider is] a broader project with a giant star, but we’re able to keep that same intensity. Nic [Cage] is as insane as we are, which is nice because it’s a nice blend of insane powers. A meeting of the insanity, I guess you could call it. We do a lot of that rad stuff that we did in the smaller films, but we try to take it to a bigger level. But at the same time, we’re happy to have the cranes out. Put those to work as well!

Marvel.com: So this is the first larger film that you’ve done, on this sort of scale. What was it that drew you specifically to Ghost Rider?

Brian Taylor: Well he’s such a badass character. [He's] kind of the perfect character for us if we’re going to do a super hero, because he’s not really a super hero. He’s a demon from hell who sucks out peoples' souls. He’s on a motorcycle and he’s crazy. We wanted to bring the super visceral, intense version of Ghost Rider to film that a lot of people haven’t seen yet.

landscape_large.jpg
Nicolas Cage stars as Johnny Blaze in "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance"

Marvel.com: I know you guys shot most of it over in Romania and Turkey. What led you to go to those sort of locations?

Brian Taylor: The script was actually set there. We don’t like to shoot a lot on stages, we like to use real locations as much as possible. It was really cool to actually be there and soak up all the ancient history. We’re shooting in Transylvania, shooting in Turkish archaeological sites from thousand of years ago. We prefer to put our characters in real environments [rather] than building sets.

Marvel.com: What was that like? I can’t remember the last big budget action movie filmed in Turkey or Romania.

Mark Neveldine: It was great, it was an adventure. It’s kind of a road movie, it starts from the north and goes to the south. That was the way that we shot it. Similar to "Crank," we kind of lived the movie. I think that can’t help but bleed onto the film, [and] you can’t get that if it was in some sterile environment.

Marvel.com: Nic Cage did the first Ghost Rider movie and has some familiarity with the character. What was it like joining up with him and taking what he took from the first movie and grafting it onto what you wanted to do?

Mark Neveldine: We gave him an opportunity in this one to play it as a dual role. We didn’t just want him to play Johnny Blaze, we wanted him to play the the demon, we wanted him to play the Ghost Rider. So he created this whole new physical language for that character. It was completely distinct from Johnny Blaze. That was a lot of fun. He’s so passionate about it and so cerebral about it. Talk about controlled chaos, that’s Nicolas.

Once he has all that foundation, that’s when you let him loose. Then it’s just a ramping the knob up. “Oh, let's do this take on 11, Nic. Let’s do this one on 15. Maybe you can modulate this down and do this on nine and half.” Once he has that, once he knows what he’s doing and why, then he really puts the fight in the demon.

The footage was killer!  You probably already know this about the footage but, Nic was peeing fire, he was popping a wheely on a chain and swallowing bullets - all while his head was on fire!!! Totally awesome!

Ok..quite the discussion going on on Neveldine and Taylor's twitter about in camera 3-D versus post converted. I don't know enough about it to wade in and comment, but for me it still has to be about the movie, about the story, the character and the film experience, and the art of filmstorymaking, that is what i want to focus on, and i personally love 2D anyway!

from what i have seen of N and D's filmmaking, and I have seen all their films now, why mess with the format, what they do they do extremely well, it is unique, already totally new and out there, it is their art style and more importantly it enhances not takes away from the film experience, in fact it creates teh experience, it is the way they paint the picture with their brush already that brings the whole thing to life. and i personally would like the opportunity to see that and that only with the new Ghost Rider! hide Maybe 3-D is used elsewhere to create that same wow factor and intensity of experience, but N and T don't need it, what they already have is freaking awesome.

has anyone else seen their films? do you know where i am coming from with this? action

Oh! I guess noone has an opinion either way on the 3-D issue then! moving on!

this interview with Taylor and Neveldine makes me smile...... and Johnny Whitworth you have just become an official Nicster! and anyone who gets Vampire's Kiss is more than alright by me!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7oi7HzJOYQ

 

Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine on Nic and GR:

B.T: The only thing we kept from the first movie is Nicolas Cage. The mad genius that is Nicolas Cage. And we asked for everything from him and got it. This is the kind of Nic we all like to see. This is Awesome Nic, and Nic going for it balls to the walls, bringing the insanity that you would really have if you were possessed by a demon that turned your head into a skull lit it on fire and put it on a motorcycle.

M.N: [there's] a totally amazing craziness in Nic and it works for this movie. It makes more sense and he just like adrenalizes this film for us. In the first movie Nic didn't play the Ghost Rider, the stunt guy did, I think you can tell that, it works for that movie, is awesome, in our movie he plays the Ghost Rider, just like embodying that character and what he does, the fact that he's doing the majority of his own stunts, we're putting him on wires, you know we're pulling..putting him on the motorcycle, it just, it helps create something more real, more visceral it fits with our in camera adrenalin style.

B.T: He's got soul, the GR himself has soul in this movie. We asked him to approach it as a dual role. It's a whole different physical language, when he becomes the demon he's different character. So it's almost like a guy playing this dual sold and it's a high wire act this performance. But as a result whenever the GR comes on you know unmistakeably that that is a personality, it's a dark personality, it's not just a CG guy running around burning people .       

Johnny Whitworth on Nic

yeah it's a dream come true. He's one of my cinematic idols, alot of what he does as an artist has inspired me through the years of growing up and performing myself,  especially in my formative years, with things like Vampire's Kiss and things of that nature, the earlier work that was kind of nuts.

I really couldn't comment on their films, Lula, as I haven't seen them. Also, the technical stuff about film process is way over my head.

But I enjoy their enthusiasm about Nic and really it just makes me that much more excited to see this movie! Lovely to read such great things about Nic, they are definitely in my good graces, these fellows!

I am a complete numbskul when it comes to the tech side, I just feel that these filmmakers already have a  unique formula which the rest of the world who have not seen Crank and Gamer deserve to see and will enjoy seeing ! so the 3-d may make that even more awesome but who knows! By the way the epic opening of Gamer really blew me away. it is epic in all senses of the word, sci fi hasn't had that effect on me since Blade Runner (totally different ball game but for some reasons the comparison is there) their style is newer than cutting edge it really comes from the minds of geniuses, and as you know there are aspects of their films that i don't totally love, but these guys have creativity that blows everything else out of the water. just realised what a big statement that is. its true though i have not seen anything like it , maybe someone else has?! Lol!  I do hope that their interpretation of the actual story rocks my world as much as their style does, if that is the case, this may be the best Nicolas Cage movie ever. flaming
