Ghost Rider 2 – tweets from #SDCC
Since the original announcement that Nelvadine and Taylor (Crank, Crank 2) were taking the reins on Ghost Rider 2, I’ve shyed away from other news.

Total Film tweeted:
“You will see real bones breaking in Ghost Rider” promise the directors of Ghost Rider 2 #comiccon2011

I mean, look, I know it’s SDCC and it’s hardly a neutral crowd, but doesn’t this sound like (gasp) it might actually be fun?. Nelvadine and Taylor are something of an acquired taste, but let’s face it, part one was so terrible, there isn’t that high a bench mark.
