Universal’s ‘The Thing’ Crash Lands October 2011
After lining up a few weeks of additional photography (for more character development), Universal Pictures has rescheduled The Thing (set report) for release on October 14, 2011. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr., the prequel to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 sci-fi redo starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton begins when paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. The creature feature opens before Paranormal Activity 3 (October 21) and Dibbuk Box (October 28).
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.
