As the credits for Mark Steven Johnson's Ghost Rider drew to a close, few were left clamoring for a sequel. Seemingly willed into existence five years later by Nicolas Cage himself, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance blazes into cinemas (see what I did there?) February of 2012. Based on this first trailer, it looks like it could be somewhat more entertaining than its predecessor, though given directors Neveldine/Taylor's track record - credits include Crank, Crank 2, and being fired from Jonah Hex - Spirit of Vengeance doesn't have pedigree on its side. Yet, we know Cage will bring his A-game because that's all he knows how to do, so that'll provide some semblance of fun no matter how you slice it. Also, he pees fire.
I seem to be the only person that thinks this trailer looks an awful lot like the first movie... which we'll be rewatching in October for the podcast...
