TV: SyFy Finds Their Own ‘Red’ Riding Hood Werewolf Hunter
Some pretty interesting news this morning as respected actress, Felicia Day (“Dollhouse”, “Lie to Me”, “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”), has landed the leading role in SyFy’s Red, the first of their Saturday evening fairy tales. In the made-for-TV movie, Day will play a young woman who is a descendant of the real Little Red Riding Hood who brings her fiancé home, where he meets the family and learns about their business – hunting werewolves. He’s skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him. The film is set to premiere on SyFy in 2011 with Beauty and the Beast, 8TH Voyage of Sinbad, Hansel, Aladdin and Black Forest also in development.
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.
