BD Review: ‘We Are the Night’ Forgettable
Opening tomorrow on VOD from IFC Films is Dennis Gansel’s We Are the Night, “a sexy and suspenseful thriller about a young woman initiated into a trio of beautiful female vampires.” It will be released theatrically in New York City in rep on May 27 at the prestigious ReRun arthouse theater alongside VOD.
David Harley wasn’t a big fan: “ ‘We Are The Night’ is as conventional as possible, with Gansel and Jan Berger’s screenplay eschewing ingenuity for premises and scenes that were more easily stolen from other films. The concoction they managed to throw together – which was reportedly rewritten because it resembled ‘Twilight’ a little too much – is bland and forgettable, proving that just because the ideas seen at play in vampire films are becoming as immortal as the creatures themselves, it doesn’t mean they should be.”

“Dennis Gansel, director of the critically acclaimed THE WAVE, explores a seething dark side of Berlin in the WE ARE THE NIGHT. Following a sect of seductive female vampires that hide out in the city’s alternative clubs, enjoying the luxury and pleasures their attained immortality provides them and wreaking horror on a string of unsuspecting victims, the film is a brilliantly stylized vision of the classic vampire myth — a sensual, charismatic thrill ride fascinated with all aspects of the night.”
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
