Hey folks, Harry here... I've read two drafts of GHOST RIDER... the one that is going to be in theaters next year and then the script by David Goyer, his very best script he ever wrote btw. Now I know, that sounds like I'm about to rag on Mr DAREDEVIL, but I'm not. His script had some things that I've wanted to see my entire life... namely the old west version of the GHOST RIDER and in the trailers that popped out of the Apple world today... there's a shot that literally gets that little boy that played with EVIL KNEIVAL toys and pretended they were Johnny Blaze toys. I've been a GHOST RIDER fan ever since MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #5 and in all that time I've never once cared for the writing... to me GHOST RIDER was an illustrated character. Something for the covers, something for the panels. The best written the character has ever been is in these two scripts... and the more purely fantastical version is the one we're getting. David Goyer's version was the pure horror take. Flesh burning from the bone, an agonizing transformation, a tormented soul... an angry furious spirit of vengeance that seared the flesh of sinner's souls to deliver them to Mephisto. I liked that Hard R take... but I also like the fantasy version of the character that we're getting. This one, my nephew is going to freak out after. "Flaming Zombie Biker" he'll say. Actually, he'll say GHOST RIDER... he's edumacated. Here's one more reason to check out X3 on Friday...
