‘Vamps’ Casts Sure As Hell Doesn’t Bite
The incredible Wallace Shawn (Clueless, Toy Story, Monsters, Inc.), joins Justin Kirk (“Weeds”), Dan Stevens and Todd Barry (“Bored to Death,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “The Sarah Silverman Program”) as the new additions to Amy Heckerling’s Vamps, which also stars Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter, Sigourney Weaver, Richard Lewis, and Kristen Johnston. Vamps tells the modern day tale of two young beautiful female vampires (Silvestone & Ritter) living the good nightlife in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize her immortality. Shawn will portray Dr. Van Helsing, a well-known vampire expert and hunter; Kirk will portray Vadim, a Russian vampire always on the prowl for a good time; Stevens will portray Joey Van Helsing, a college student smitten with Stacy (Ritter) and; Barry will portray Ivan, blood-thirsty vampire Cisserus’ (Weaver) loyal assistant. Filming begins this week in Detroit, Michigan.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
