‘A Head Full Of Ghosts’ Brings An Exorcism to TV
Get this, Focus Features is developing a movie based on Paul Tremblay’s upcoming thriller A Head Full Of Ghosts with Robert Downey Jr.’s Team Downey and Dan Dubiecki’s Allegiance Theater producing, Variety reports.
While Robert Downey Jr.’s Team Downey is producing, it doesn’t mention anything about Downey Jr. starring, although I would love to see him take on a role in this cool twist on the exorcism subgenre (even though Repossessed did it first).
A Head Full of Ghosts, to be published in June by HarperCollins’ William Morrow imprint, “centers on a normal suburban New England family being torn apart when the 14-year-old begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia — leading to tragedy as the family attempts an exorcism and finds themselves the subject of a reality TV show.”
The writing team of Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski will write the adaptation.
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.
