I doubt this greatly, but in case you were somehow hoping that Ghost Rider 2 would be a commentary on our modern times, you are going to be mistaken. Collider talked to the movie's screenwriter David S. Goyer recently, and he admitted that the script for Ghost Rider 2 has been sitting around for 9 years-- all he has to do is polish it up.

"I wrote a script for that about 9 years ago. Sony decided and the producers that they wanted to make that as the sequel script. In this case I'm coming on as a producer, and we're basically just doing a polish. There's not as much work involved."


As for what that polish will entail, it's basically Goyer taking his "hard R" Ghost Rider 2 script and transforming it into PG-13, a process he says won't be as difficult as you might think, given that he wrote The Dark Knight and released it on the "bleeding edge" of PG-13.

I imagine, of course, they'll also have to somehow account for the fact that the central characters already know each other in this go round, and maybe mention a few of the events of the first movie. Based on what I hear about the first Ghost Rider, it doesn't seem like a script will be what matters most anyway-- give us Nicolas Cage's flaming skull, and we're all set.
