At one point or another, haven’t we all wanted to set Nicholas Cage’s head on fire:
When viewers of Nicolas Cage’s upcoming Ghost Rider see him transform into a demonic avenger with a flaming skull, they will be looking at Cage’s actual skull, director Mark Steven Johnson told SCI FI Wire. Johnson decided to base the Ghost Rider’s signature noggin on Cage’s actual head after an early version of the image appeared on the Internet and garnered scathing reviews from fans.
Now, any movie based on a concept as, let’s face it, ridiculous as Ghost Rider is going to be an uphill battle. But the commercials I’ve seen really haven’t impressed me. And then there are these flash banner ads that seem to slow my browser to a halt…
If they actually stripped the flesh from Nicholas Cage’s head, I think I would pay to see that.
Don’t the Academy Award folks love it when actors alter themselves physicall for a role?
