The Battle for ‘The Fields’ Continues With New Casting
Is it me or are there two films with the word “Fields” in the title battling it out? For every announcement regarding Rogue Pictures’ The Dark Fields (a film that keeps changing titles with every announcement), Forward Pass/Infinity Media’s The Fields (also constantly changing titles as it was once The Killing Fields) ups the ante. It was announced this morning that Jason Clarke (Public Enemies, Death Race) has been cast alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain and Chloe Moretz in the murder mystery being produced by Michael Mann. Directed by Ami Canaan Mann, Morgan will star as a detective transplanted from New York, while Worthington will portray a local investigator probing a series of unsolved murders in industrial wastelands surrounding Gulf Coast refineries. Screenplay’s by former DEA agent Donald F. Ferrarone. Production’s expected to start later this month in Louisiana.
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.
