MTV Movie Awards Clips for ‘Super 8’ & ‘Planet of the Apes’
The MTV Movie Awards is (apparently) airing as we speak, where they’ve debuted a number of “extended” clips from a few of this summer’s biggest movies.
Inside you’ll find an extended look at the opening train crash sequence from Paramount Pictures’ Super 8 (review), the J.J. Abrams-directed sci-fi thriller that gives homage to ’80s Steven Spielberg films. It opens in theaters this coming Friday, June 10.
Also inside is some fresh scenes – also mixing in trailer footage – from Twentieth Century Fox’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the prequel to Tim Burton’s remake that arrives in theaters August 5. It’s set in present day San Francisco and deals with the aftermath of man’s experiments with genetic engineering that lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.
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.
