You have to regard this as total B.S. for now, but it’s potentially too good to not even mention.
Dread Central has just reported that Christopher Lambert is “in talks” to join Nicholas Cage and everyone else in the 3D Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. The only flaw in this bit of news is that it’s directly from Lambert himself via his Facebook page, so a few grains of salt need to be taken with it. The sequel already boasts Ciaran Hinds, Johnny Whitworth and Idris Elba, so adding Lambert wouldn’t be too ridiculous… well, maybe it would. Lambert, isn’t exactly in the same league as those gentlemen, but he has a strong cult following based on his Highlander and Mean Guns work – so perhaps there are legs to this rumor.
Scheduled for a February 17th, 2012 release, this Neveldine/Taylor movie is hoping to get underway in November, so if this turns out to be true Lambert will be performing his famous laugh in 3D for all the world.

How do we live in a world where I'm now looking forward to Ghost Rider 2?
Bonus points for the Mean Guns reference, btw.

So it's a rumor because…? Is Lambert is prone to lying on his Facebook page? I mean, is he ISN'T in it, what would be the point of saying he is?
"The only flaw in this bit of news is that it's directly from Lambert himself via his Facebook page, so a few grains of salt need to be taken with it" – I don't get it. Surely this is as close to "straight from the horse's mouth" as it's possible to get? It's not rumor – it's the actor in question saying he's in talks. Why the pinch of salt?
Yeah, what's the deal with accusing Lambert of being a liar? That seems unseemingly harsh. Unprofessional and pretty damned disrespectful.
Jer, they're revamping the whole fucking site and moving to WordPress, comments and all. Which would you rather they spend their time on: this crappy comment system or getting the new system up and running? Why would they bother with this if they're going replace it soon anyway?

I always enjoy a bit of Lambert in my films. It''s been too long. Unfortunately if he IS starring in Ghost Rider 2 then it will be a bit longer yet. Still, Lambert knows a little bit about pointless sequels.

Yeah! He should play a Scottish ghost rider who's been hanging around for 400 years doing duels with the other ghost riders, because there can be only one! With 80's rock!

Seriously, keep justifying. I'm loving it. (-McDonald's)
Take the Lambert quote with a grain of salt because it's a well known negotiating tactic to leak that you're in contention for a part. The hope is that positive word of mouth about "x" being in a picture will convince the directors and producers to actually cast "x", or pay them more money.
Mr. Captcha, I think you've given me a zen epiphany. I can't explain it, but I think looking at your feeble, impotent, and pointless-even-for-a-troll trolling has made me impervious to all trolls, ever. Thank you.
This wouldn't be the first movie I've watched because Christopher Lambert was in it 🙁
