TIFF ’11: ‘Lovely Molly’ Viral Clip and Creepy Image Tease Return of Baphomet
Just getting back to my hotel at TIFF, sitting in front of my door was package featuring a creepy postcard with a symbolic pin driven through a horse’s head, alongside a clip. Looking through the genre films at the fest, it became clear to me that the viral goodies were from Lovely Molly, Blair Witch Project co-creator Eduardo Sanchez’s horror film starring Johnny Lewis and Alexandra Holden. Inside you’ll find the clip that appears to discover a lair where the worship of Baphomet had taken place. Baphomet is an imagined pagan deity, revived in the 19th century as a figure of occultism and Satanism.
“When newlywed Molly Reynolds returns to her long-abandoned family home, frightful reminders of a nightmarish childhood begin seeping into her new life. She soon begins an inexorable descent into evil that blurs the lines between psychosis and possession.”
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.
