Amblin Investigates ‘Unexplained Phenomenon’
Amblin Partners has preemptively acquired Unexplained Phenomenon, a pitch from writing team Jason Pagan and Andrew Deutschman, Deadline reports.
They are keeping the plot under wraps, but the hope is for multiple movies based on true supernatural phenomena, in ways that fits into Spielberg/Amblin pics like Close Encounters and E.T. The title refers to the FBI classification for incidents that were investigated and defy logic.
Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman’s The Picture Company will produce. The Picture Company is producing at Amblin The Travelers, scripted by Straight Outta Compton writer Jon Herman. Pic is eyeing a 2017 production start.
The scribes wrote Project Almanac, as well as the latest installment of Paranormal Activity for Paramount. They are writing the House On Haunted Hill remake at Warner Bros.
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.
