Goyer confirmed for 'Ghost Rider' sequel
David S. Goyer has confirmed that he is to be involved with writing the script for the Ghost Rider sequel.
It was previously speculated that the Dark Knight scribe was said to be in discussions to supervise other writers on the Marvel Comics venture, which would be based upon a work that he had penned years ago.
He told Collider: "I wrote a script for that nine years ago. Sony and producers decided that they wanted to make that into the sequel.
"In this case, I'm coming on as a producer and we're basically doing a polish of my nine-year-old script. So there's not as much work involved."
The 43-year-old admitted that the existing script will have to be toned down, as it was originally envisioned as an R-rated project.
He added: "It was definitely written as a hard R. Originally I was writing it, Stephen Norrington [Blade] was going to direct it, and I was going to produce it. It was a Blade-type film and now they want it to be PG-13.
"There's no question that we're going to have to tone things down, but we're not going to have to do that much."
Ghost Rider star Nicolas Cage, who is believed to reprise his role in the follow-up, had earlier said that he would like Ghost Rider 2 to be a reboot rather than a sequel to the original movie.
