    Cool! I'm pretty excited for this, as the first one was surprisingly fantastic. Frank Grillo kind of looks like Jim Caviezel, eh?

    I've seen him in a few films, he's a much better actor than some of them.
    I've always thought that a rough and ragged 21 year old would be better as Ghost Rider. Now that needs to be rebooted.
