ROTTEN TOMATOES: Eva Mendes Gives Scant Details on "Ghost Rider"

Eva Mendes Gives Scant Details on "Ghost Rider"

by Binh Ngo | February 23, 2005

Empire Magazine has a chat with Eva Mendes concerning her upcoming movie, "Ghost Rider." She told the magazine that the script is being worked on, with a new writer coming onboard to polish the script. She wouldn't reveal who the new writer is but did say the concept art is "amazing" and that it made her "feel like a little kid." As to why she signed on for this project, besides the cash and the movie being high-profile, she said it was a moment of levity between her and the director involving Peekytoe crab at the restaurant Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. They had so much fun laughing at the entree's name that they figured they "had to work with each other." Eva Mendes can currently be seen starring opposite Will Smith in the romantic comedy, "Hitch." "Ghost Rider," starring Nicolas Cage as the title character, is shooting for a spring 2006 release. Mark Steven Johnson is directing.

Ghost Rider is a cool character, and I hope they don't screw it up. I'm nervous because although I thought Daredevil was OK, it had some extremely cheesy action sequences and some pretty bad CGI. Ghost Rider I imagine will have to be heavy on the CGI, so I hope Johnson has hooked up with a better CGI group.

i think if they do that, and keep the cgi to a minimum, or just do it on top of existing characters. but your right, the least noticeable that it is, the better.

i figure this movie truely could be a huge cult movie hit, but it can't read or feel like a standard comic book movie.

Hollywood will CGI just about anything to cut costs. 90% of this movie will most likely be CGI.
