Spitting Hot Fire in 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' Poster Artwork

As directors, Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine have an aggressive style that figuratively punches the audience in its solar plexus and then throttles its crotch. That approach is potentially perfect for a comic book character who is alternately a human biker and a demon spawn with a flaming skull where his head should be. With two new pieces of poster artwork for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, someone in marketing at Sony Pictures has nicely encapsulated the Neveldine/Taylor style (seen in films such as Crank and Gamer) with some pretty nifty images. So good you can practically feel your crotch getting mercilessly pummeled.

Both pieces of artwork, which are here courtesy of JoBlo, would be considerably enriched if they included the film's Comic-Con tagline, "Fucking Your Shit Up in 3D February 2012." Sadly, it seems terribly unlikely that we'll ever see that glorious bit of wordsmanship on posters and what have you.

Nicolas Cage returns after starring in 2007's misbegotten Ghost Rider. Though Spirit of Vengeance isn't a reboot, it also doesn't actively connect itself to the first film. The rest of the cast includes the always excellent Idris Elba, Johnny Whitworth, Christopher Lambert, and Ciaran Hinds as none other than the devil. Neveldine and Taylor are working from a story crafted by David S. Goyer and a script written by Scott Gimple and Seth Hoffman.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will fuck your shit up in 3D on February 17, 2012. Unfortunately, that's not in time for Valentine's Day.
