'Ghost Rider' Sequel Shooting in Romania and 3-D

You will no doubt remember where you were when you heard the news that Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will be shot in 3-D. It's a momentous day. MovieWeb cites the European service Hot News as saying the movie heads in front of cameras this fall in Romania, and this is basically what Nicolas Cage said would happen, and of course, he signed up for the sequel days after it was obvious The Sorcerer's Apprentice was going to tank. Said Cage earlier this year, "I'll be filming it in Romania, which is exciting, since that's where Dracula's castle is...The Ghost Rider has to ride up to Dracula's castle." Ghost Rider...ride up...Dracula's castle. OK: Added that to my list of masturbation euphemisms. One thing that can't be good news is that Neveldine and Taylor are writing and directing. Had just about enough of them. The first Crank was refreshing because it was so gonzo, but they're not terribly disciplined and seem to be failing upwards somehow. Anyway, Ghost Rider: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron or whatever will be released in 2011. You've been warned.
