It seems like motorcycle movies are all the rage these days. There's Disney's upcoming Wild Hogs, and also Sony's Ghost Rider, starring Nicholas Cage. Here's the trailer:
Hmm. From the trailer alone, I can't tell whether this will fall more toward the "Blade" or "Elektra" end of the "movies made from minor Marvel super heroes" quality spectrum.
Unfortunately, it may be the latter, as Cinematical reports that "Sony is apparently having second thoughts":

The movie's official website now lists its release date as February 16, 2007.

Sam Elliott, who co-stars with Cage in the Marvel action flick, has stated that Sony's recent box office slump (the company took a major beating last year) has apparently scared them off of the Ghost Rider title for now. "It was supposed to come out this summer," said Elliott, "but it's not." According to Elliott, the film has now been bumped to a President's Day '07 release — and as the LA Daily reminds us, February is not typically a hot time for major action flicks. Is Sony trying to quietly bury a project they're now afraid will add to their list of flops? Looks like this may be the case.Oh, well. At least it'll give me another entry in my MMM series.
