Nic Cage is gearing up for a 'Ghost Rider' sequel, a live-action
'Barbie' movie is officially in the works (and, no, Ken will not
be played by a smooth-crotched male mannequin), Sony readies
'He-Man' for battle, and more of today's top movie headlines.
Sony is revving up a sequel to the 2007 comic-book-based hit
'Ghost Rider,' with 'Dark Knight' co-writer David Goyer in talks
to create the story and oversee the writing of the screenplay.
Nicolas Cage, who starred in the first film, is expected to
reprise his role as the titular skull-faced, flame-engulfed,
devil-battling antihero. [Variety]  Never one to be left out of
the fun, legendary Mattel doll 'Barbie' is following in the
footsteps of 'G.I. Joe' and other toy properties and heading for
the big screen. Universal has hatched a deal with Mattel to make
a live-action film based on the globally beloved, 50-year-old

property for girls in both the U.S. and the world. Now that's a
built-in fan base. [Va
