Next February returns Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze in the sequel to 2007’s Ghost Rider. Gone are Eva Mendes, Wes Bentley, Peter Fonda, and writer/director Mark Steven Johnson. The sequel is helmed by the the men behind Crank 2: High Voltage and stars Idris Elba, Ciarán Hinds, Violante Placido, and Christopher Lambert. I’m not sure about the change in the look of Ghost Rider (one of the few things that worked in the original), and it’s February release date isn’t a good sign either, but I have to admit the trailer’s final joke is funny.

A prequel to a remake of a film originally based on a novella. Wow, Hollywood sure seems full of original ideas. The Thing is set before the events of John Carpenter’s goriffic film focusing on the Norwegian and American scientists who originally discovered the alien.

• Title: In Time
• IMDB: link

In a world where people only live until 25 years of age time becomes a valuable commodity. Justin Timberlake stars a man given more time than he can possibly use by a mysterious stranger (Matt Bomer) and soon finds himself on the run. Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy, Alex Pettyfer, and Johnny Galecki also star. The premise sounds like a so-so idea for a sci-fi short story, but we’ll have wait until October 28 to see if writer/director Andrew Niccol can make it work for an entire full-length film.
