James Wan Heading to TV With “Maidenhead”
John Davis’ Sony TV-based Davis Entertainment is bringing together a feature writer, Source Code‘s Ben Ripley, and director, Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring and Fast and the Furious 7‘s James Wan, for a drama project, which has sold to NBC with significant penalty, reports Deadline.
Written by Ripley and to be directed by Wan, “ ‘Maidenhead is described as a medical procedural wrapped in a very realistic, frightening supernatural drama.
A scientist is called into a tony Connecticut suburb to investigate an ailing teen girl to discover her affliction presents itself as a demonic contagion slowly spreading through the town. Our team peels back the secrets and lies buried within the fabric of the community while medically deconstructing the tropes of demon mythology.”
This marks the first TV project for Wan.
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.
