Jon Voight seems to have a thing for Nic Cage, at least on a professional level. The pair have finished working together on the Bruckheimer adventure flick "National Treasure" and now they're about to team up again for an adaptation of the comic "Ghost Rider". Today he spoke with LatinoReview about it.
"I haven’t seen the final script yet, but if I can find a way into it I will be delighted to do that. We just have to see how the script turns out. Nic Cage is set. I’ve talked to Mark Steven Johnson but I haven’t met with him about it yet. He and Nic have had many discussions" says Voight about the project's current status.
His character, a rather 'devilish' force, may be re-written in a way that makes him too young for Voight to play - "It’s a very mysterious substance, that piece. It’s a devil force that has enlisted this young man in his despair over losing his loved one. Then he finds that he’s trapped in this aspect and then fights it. It’s a very beautiful story really, beautiful love story as well".
Still, much of this is up in the air for the moment - "In these projects, the search for the proper charisma in a piece is quite an interesting search. I’m rooting for the piece entire and I’m putting it in the hands of Mark and Nic too. I’m kind of leaving it to them mostly. We’ll just see how it comes out. I’m not the major ingredient, the major factor at the moment, and I have other things to do as well. We’ll just see how it works out. If it turns my way, it’ll be fun. Then I’ll be prepared. I’ll come into it as I do with full steam and lots of ideas".
