“Ringer” Creators Go Goth With NBC, Intrepid Brings Upon The ‘Fourth Horseman’
Three months after The CW canceled its Sarah Michelle Gellar drama “Ringer,” creators Nicole Snyder and Eric Charmelo have sold another thriller — to NBC. THR reports that the network has given a blind script commitment to an untitled sexy gothic thriller set in New Orleans that’s described as being rich with tradition, superstition and murder. Snyder and Charmelo will pen the drama and executive produce alongside TBD Productions’ Peter Traugott and Rachel Kaplan for Universal Television.
In other news, Intrepid Pictures has tapped Grzegorz Jonkajtys to helm Fourth Horseman, a contemporary action thriller “About a young medical intern who is haunted by nightmarish clairvoyant visions of the future, is hunted by three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He discovers his destiny is to prevent the rise of the Fourth Horseman–Death–and to avert the end of the world.” Deadline reports that the script was written by Byron Willinger & Phil DeBlasi, and the latest draft was written by Ryan Engel. Jonkajtys helmed the short thriller “The Ark,” which was nominated for the Golden Palm at Cannes. Watch it below.
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.
