No ‘Drought’ of Post-Apocalyptic Horror
The Works International is partnering with Mann Made Films on The Drought, an ecological action horror set in a terrifying post-apocalyptic world. The film will be directed by Lawrence Gough, winner of the Trailblazer Award for emerging talent at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival for his debut feature, Salvage. Colin O’Donnell, Gough’s long time writing partner, is writing the script. The Drought is set in a near future where the world is plunged into a state of emergency with millions dying of thirst and national infrastructures collapsing. A desperate couple who have avoided the mass exoduses and eked out an existence in their suburban home, head for London in a last-ditch attempt to find the water they badly need to save themselves and their ailing daughter.
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.
