"Ghost Rider 2". Actors of the sequel

Many film fans ridiculed the film "Ghost Rider", noting the lack of keenness, passion and sharpness. To correct this misunderstanding took the directors of the inexorable "Adrenaline" Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine. So there was a Hollywood fantasy thriller "Ghost Rider 2". Actors involved in the shooting of the first part, migrated to the sequel with losses. Roxen Simpson and Eva Mendes categorically refused to participate in the project. But Nicolas Cage and Idris Elba broke away on the set in full.

Brief description of the plot

The idea of the creative union of the directors of the film "Ghost Rider 2" actors N. Cage, K. Hinds, D. Witworth and I. Elba embodied with special zeal. According to the authors' scripts of the script, the events of the sequel unfold after a few years after the first part. Johnny Blaze - Phantom racer (Nicolas Cage) - in an attempt to cope with his gift-curse is hiding from everyone and does not hesitate to suppress pain and hellish alter-ego with alcohol. Once the main character calls for himself Moro (Idris Elba), consisting in the monastic order of the warrior angel of St. Michael. The monk offers the rider an exchange, promising to remove the curse, for which Johnny must protect the evil forces of the potential Antichrist - a boy named Danny (Fergus Riordan) and his mother Nadia (Violante Placido). The woman and the child are hunted by Mephistopheles himself (Kiaran Hinds) and his assistant Blackout (Johnny Witworth). The action "Ghost Rider 2", the actors and roles of which were chosen by each other as a co-producer, has a rather trivial plot.

Racer

Not all the cast of the movie "Ghost Rider 2" could compete with their skill with the performer starring Nicolas Cage. From the very start of his creative career, Nick Cage was offered the role of uneasy, strange and in the majority extremely unbalanced characters. Most often this was due to the fact that the directors considered his texture and especially the facial features somewhat strange, but Nicholas never worried about it. According to the actor himself, he experimented a lot with the image of the rider: painted his face with white and black paints, inserted absolutely black lenses, sewn to the leather jacket a mass of ancient relics from Egypt. In this form, the actor could spend hours wandering around the set, without saying a word to either his colleagues, the attendants, or the director. For a few moments, Nicholas himself began to believe that he was the Ghost Rider. His idea was to remove the second part, not in the style of a western, but to create a story more interesting in an international context. The authors listened to the recommendations of the actor, so the "Ghost Rider" (the actors confirm this fact) turned out with a touch of "Da Vinci Code."

Acting Casting

Among the actor's ensemble of the picture, Idris Elba, known to a wide audience as the performer of the main role of the colorful and charming inspector Luther from the eponymous series, was also prominent. British actor TV and cinema at the very beginning of the creative path was known as the most popular London DJ, in the late 90's began to appear on television, mostly in "soap operas." But since 2007, Idris has become a star of the modern film industry, now the actor is known for such films as "28 Weeks Later", "Bunny Boys", "Rock N Rollers", "Prometheus", "Thor", "Pacific Frontier "And, of course," Ghost Rider 2 ". The actors, whose photos were adorned with all the world's media during the premiere, justified the hopes placed by the creators. The film boasts of excellent supporting actors, such as Kiaran Hinds, Johnny Witworth, Violante Placido, who played excellently, according to their talent and professionalism. And the appearance of the skinhead, covered with tattoos by Christopher Lambert, can be considered an unexpected bonus-surprise to the viewer from the creators.

Will there be a continuation of the franchise?

Will there be a third after the sequel "Ghost Rider 2"? The actors who shot in the film do not know. Although there are persistent rumors that the lead in the previous two parts, Nicolas Cage does not intend to return to the image of Johnny Blaise. Perhaps the reason for this - dissatisfaction with criticism and almost a failure in the rental of two paintings, which were taken cool not only by film critics, but also by the audience. More than that, both parts were nominated for the worst male role in the "Golden Raspberry". Although, perhaps, the explanation is more prosaic - the actor is simply engaged in other more significant projects.
