On Tuesday, Heat Vision reported that the long reported sequel to the 2007 hit film Ghost Rider will indeed begin production, with its star Nicolas Cage. The production hit problems earlier this year when Cage was locked into other commitments and would not sign onto the film.

The new film Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will reportedly be directed and written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the crew behind the Crank films. Columbia pictures must begin production on the film soon, or risk losing the rights, which expire later this year. No release date has been listed so far.
