Gotta Talk About Ghost Rider 2 For a Minute

One of my friends called me yesterday to tell me he's in an episode of  Mr. Sunshine- which I don't watch but will admit that I still think Matthew Perry is a cutie I wouldn't shoot down....don't judge me.   I know, get to the point Jo.

OK so my friend is a big fan of the comic book movies coming out and I asked him about Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and his thoughts on it. The first thing he said is "Nic Cage is a badass, I love him". me too. The second thing he said is "I hope they don't fuck up Blackout".  meee too baby.

Turns out, it's a BIG DEAL that Johnny Whitworth is playing Blackout. And according to my friend, some general concerns in the ultra-critical comic book world are will directors Neveldine and Taylor keep Blackout true to his original nemesis character and allow us to fully experience this dark demonic villian with the in-depth, significant role we're expecting, or will they morph Blackout into kind of an unexplored novelty act that will leave fans disappointed. Whatevs. It's Johnny Whitworth cast as Blackout so I'm not worried and you shouldn't be either.

We all knew a while back that Johnny was playing Blackout and was in Romania/Turkey to film for 4 months or so- but the cool thing is that while he was doing press for Limitless, his role in Ghost Rider 2 was rediscovered and one of his comments in particular was quickly picked up all over by entertainment outlets and social networking sites (that would be Twitter and Facebook, k).

Johnny comments:

“I play the villain who, at the beginning, up until like page 70, is human…I’m not a very nice guy. I’m bad. I get turned into, for those who read ‘Ghost Rider’, the character Blackout. I get turned into him by the devil to complete my job. That gives me the fortitude to fight Ghost Rider and the supernatural abilities to compete on some level with that guy.”

Like I said it's a big deal and Johnny Whitworth is considered to be an excellent choice for the role of Blackout.

But whatever his role is and despite the so-called concerns of the direction and layout of the movie, he'll kill it because he knows how to kill it consistently with whatever he has to work with. And while most people have plenty of that Neveldine-Taylor faith, there will always be a drove of dorks waiting on a colossal massacre of the original instead of being open and amped for the 2012 interpretation of Ghost Rider 2. I can't wait.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance currently has a February 2012 release date.

Limitless Update and Johnny Whitworth Spikes In Popularity

holy hell, Texas messed me up. I'm in damn good shape and love to try new things, but I was talked into riding a motherf'in mechanical bull more times than my inner thighs could handle.And I'm not so sure that girls should be riding them anyway.AND I never knew that "I wanna show you the ropes sweetheart" had so many different meanings. But enough about me.

Johnny Whitworth is UP 90% THIS WEEK according to IMDb's STARmeter. We LIKE this. Traffic to this fansite also quadrupled over the weekend with new fans coming in to check out our hottie they saw up on the big screen in Limitless. He's hot hot hot!

And mi amor had a kickass weekend at the box office with his new hit, Limitless. It was the #1 movie opening to a decent $19 million-- a top earner for Johnny I think as far as opening weekends go- Gamer (2009) opened to about $11 mil, Pathology (2008)..$54k (yup) and 3:10 to Yuma opened to about $14 mil.

And if we were to (hypothetically of course) say that Johnny Whitworth went off the mainstream movie radar for a while to pick and choose his projects, work on some indies, keep a low profile, avoid Jo, etc etc.. we could (hypothetically of course) say, HE'S BACK.

Pics, clips, tweets 'n more coming later. You're lucky I managed to get that new header at the top of the page loaded yesterday. I positioned my two monitors so that no one could see me in my office and worked on Johnny's header until I couldn't avoid my actual work any longer. When you hear someone say " No I think she IS in there, I see her hair!" it's time to stop playing with Johnny.

giddyup.

Johnny Whitworth Interviews With AMC Theatres...Makes It All Look Easy

Watch the whole thing, it's hot.
Could he be any cuter? No he could not be.

How about this part?...

Running his fingers through his hair was clearly a move intended just for me. As in, "heyy jo see what you're not getting any of?"

Anyway, he has alot of intelligent, articulate things to say about his work so stop looking at him like just a hottie with great hair. just stop.

LIMITLESS Is Already Getting Good Reviews

" Limitless is great ride, full of suspense, humor, action, thrills and killer stylish visuals. The camera movement, the compostion, the design of the film makes you feel like you're right inside Eddie's mind. It's a trip I really enjoyed taking..."

"...if there were ever a film presenting the coolest premise ever, it’d have to be ‘LIMITLESS!’"

"‘LIMITLESS’ has to be 2011’s first and perhaps only mind-freak films which allows you to question how much of a loser you are and how better would it be if you’d be able to become a better version of yourself."



"...Was able to catch a screening for the film Limitless and I must say I am surprised. Not only by the film itself, but by the acting as well."

" The ultimate you-can-have-it-all fantasy -a pill allowing users to harness 100% of their brain power -- turns into something close to a nightmare for a rags-to-riches author in the propulsive, unexpectedly funny thriller "Limitless."

" The film as a whole is a pretty cool ride to embark on. It pays homage to the use of drugs for purposes of betterment and has a little of everything (I.e. Drama, Thriller, Brilliant Writing & Good Acting). I truly feel it’ll entertain, oh, and who knows… it’ll probably have you thinking about yourself in a state of mind now versus who and how you’d be if you were able to “better” yourself by using 100% of your brain!"

"...Limitless is a wild and zany ride, a futuristic hallucinatory thriller seamlessly and simultaneously negotiating trippy suspense, breathlessly dizzying visuals, unhinged emotions and heady humor. Director Neil Burger may or may not be dropping NZT, but he definitely has his finger on the pulse of perpetrating a vividly realized cinematic contact high on the big screen."

 

Awesomeness.

LIMITLESS LIMITLESS LIMITLESS

.
This is AWESOME.
.
Watch Johnny Whitworth show why he's a pro at the L.A. screening for Limitless. Turn your speakers up and listen to him work the crowd. He doesn't take any shit and he's incredibly accommodating by signing all those glossies. Then he agrees to have his photo taken with a sweetie in a wheelchair even though you can tell he needs to get outta there. aww! we wuv him!


 
The publicity push for Limitless continued in New York for a March 8th premiere, where Johnny Whitworth narrowly escaped me leaping out of a crowd of laminated credentials for a kiss and a finger run through his sexy freakin' hair...perhaps he knew I was out of the country last week and figured he was safe. anyway. he takes total ownership in being a smokin' hot celebrity right here.
   

 

 

 
And thank you Jane for sending one of these clips to me, we like it when he has multiple scenes, don't we? I'd be unhappy if he 3:10 to Yuma'd us in Limitless.

Limitless Clip 1:



Limitless Clip 2:

 

And Reel Movie News managing editor, Alyssa Caverley, gave us a heads up on their recent interview with Johnny Whitworth. Or should I say their rare, exclusive and highly coveted interview with Johnny Whitworth. Either way, check it out right here, it's a cool interview.

Limitless opens wide in the U.S. on Friday March 18th. Go see it!
