Ghost Rider Hits a Speed Bump
The Nic Cage supernatural comic book drama has been delayed.
Sony's Ghost Rider, starring Nic Cage, won't come out July 14, 2006. Instead, it'll debut Feb. 16, 2007.
The $120-million picture was due to come out during a crowded 2006 summer season which includes the following movies from Sony: Columbia's The Da Vinci Code (May 19); Columbia/Revolution's Click (June 23); Sony Pictures Animation's Monster House (July 21); Columbia's Will Ferrell NASCAR comedy (Aug. 4); and Revolution's Tim Allen starrer Zoom (Aug. 11) and Little Man (May 26), according to Variety.
"I think everybody is looking at their release schedules in '06 and trying to avoid some of the traffic jams," Sony vice chairman Jeff Blake told the trade. "Seven films for a summer is a lot."
