Lol, good point Lalleen, though I don't think riding a horse whilst drunk is a good idea either!
I'm sure Ghost rider would not be riding while under the influence!
And portraying a character drinking in a film does not condone it either, it's more a way of highlighting their self destructive nature (look at Nic's character Ben in Leaving Las Vegas).
The original Ghost Rider in the comic book was a bit of a baddass, into Jack Daniels rather than Jelly Beans, I believe.

Here's one of the interviews from the time, where Nic also mentions Ghost rider meeting up with Spiderman, how cool would that be?
Looking like quite the film, putting all these snippits together... a baddass Ghost rider riding, no, walking, across europe, meeting up with Spidey and some connection with the church!

I for one would LOVE to see a sequel, and whatever direction the character goes in, Nic is the man for the job!

Oh,no!how is can be?so who play Nic's girl in Ghost rider 2?are you know?

oh I didn't post the link correctly sorry! It's sorted now!

Yes, it is a tad confusing!

I'm going with the reports that have quoted Nic, as saying he has been in talks with the studio over the next Ghost rider going international!

Maybe it is wishful thinking on my part, because I so want it to happen.

The interviews with direct quotes from Nic sound a bit more detailed knowledge than this interview with Eva Mendes.... ?
However, it is only the press reports, so how far away from fact they are is anyone's guess!

I'm trying to piece it together in my head, does anyone remember last year, or maybe the beginning of this year, Nic said in an interview that he hoped to bring back Ghost rider as a darker character, and something along the lines of 'this time, drinking'!?
And now there reports about it going to europe and some connection with the church...

Guess it's fun to keep guessing about whether/how it will happen! Fingers crossed!
