Goyer: 'Ghost Rider 2' Not Exactly Reboot 
So what exactly is it...?

MTV recently caught up with screenwriter David Goyer (Batman Begins), to learn how his new Ghost Rider film will differ from the 2007 version. A film that Goyer's not prepared to call it a reboot.

"It's not exactly a reboot," Goyer said. "I hate to say it's more realistic, because he's got a flaming skull for a head, but it's a bit more stripped down and darker. It's definitely changing tone. What 'Casino Royale' was to the Bond movies, hopefully this will be to 'Ghost Rider.'"

Goyer added that the sequel — which uses his old "Ghost Rider" script — will go in front of the cameras next year. Nicholas Cage is still onboard to reprise the role of Johnny Blaze.

"This story picks up eight years after the first film," added Goyer. "You don't have to have seen the first film. It doesn't contradict anything that happened in the first film, but we're pretending that our audience hasn't seen the first film. It's as if you took that same character where things ended in the first film and then picked it up eight years later—he's just in a much darker, existential place."
