‘The Upper Footage’ Hits 10 Cities This Summer
I’m losing my breath (and mind) attempting to continually explain what the hell we think The Upper Footage (formerly Upper) is. The short explanation is that it’s an alleged home video of a group of upper class kids who laugh and parade around a friend after she overdoses on drugs. There has since then been alleged attempts by the rich families involved to cover up the incident, and the videos. We took the bait and have been covering the film, because, really, true or not, this is some brilliant grassroots marketing that deserves the love.
After months of teasing, alongside a hard-nosed effort to do some detective work (gather all of the information released thus far here), the unknown people behind the found footage thriller have released the first “official” teaser trailer that promises a release in 10 theaters this summer. During our initial digging this past January, no studio was involved. They want it, they want it bad too. It’ll be interesting to see how this comes into fruition. Watch this spot.

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.
