Sweet ‘Ghost Rider’ One Sheet Blazes In, Hype Fizzles Out…
This morning Columbia Pictures released the super sweet one sheet for Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (in theaters February 17, 2012), which is basically the exact same thing as the previously displayed theater standee.
But that’s not the story. This beautiful piece of art is overshadowed by this past weekend’s rash of online negativity after the studio screened the film at BNAT in Austin, Texas. The result? Negative is an understatement…
“GHOST RIDER 2 makes GHOST RIDER 1 look like DARK KNIGHT,” said Jordan Hoffman. Our friend Devin Faraci from BadassDigest tweeted, “GHOST RIDER 2 manages to make me look fondly back on GHOST RIDER. Unbearable.” Peter Sciretta from /Film added, “SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE is better than the first film, and the character design is drastically improved. Unfortunately the script is a boring mess, the film lacks a proper budget and the post converted 3D looks pretty horrible compared to films like HUGO.”
BURNED. Pun intended. I guess it’s a good thing Sony rushed to make this sequel so the rights didn’t revert back to Marvel. Way to look out for the fans… 
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
