‘Saw’ Co-Creator Has Zombie ‘Cooties’
Leigh Whannell, one of the masterminds behind Saw, Dead Silence and the highly successful Insidious (writer on all three), has already completed a screenplay that’s going to literally blow your mind. It’s a horror comedy by the name Cooties. Here’s the pitch:
“I actually just wrote a comedy about a zombie virus that breaks out in a primary school but only effects people who haven’t been through puberty,” Whannell tells Bleeding Cool. “There’s all these eight or nine year olds running around and the teachers are holed up inside the school. And the titles of the film is…? ‘Cooties.’ That’s just an out and out comedy.”
That’s one helluva serious pitch and something I demand to see now. I know what I want and I want THIS.
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.
