‘Ghost Rider 2′ is cranking up, and it looks like the folks involved are trying to make the sequel, well, not a piece of crap.

Collider spoke with producer Mike De Luca about the film, which is being written by David Goyer and stars (again) Nic Cage.

Some tidbits:

• Title is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
• Will have a hard PG-13 rating and take place in Europe (something Cage has wanted for some time)
• The film could be shot in 3-D (please–no)
• Shooting could begin this year

We’re less than thrilled about a sequel to this franchise (especially with Cage as the lead), but it sounds like the studio really wants to make this a reboot.  So we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt–for now.  For the complete interview, head over to Collider.
