Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance co-directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor were on-hand Saturday to promote their hell raisin' Marvel sequel to the fanboys at New York Comic-Con.

The filmmakers, who patented their unortohodox and kinetic dirtecting style on the Crank films and Gamer, presented first look footage at the 3D movie, which finds Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) in hiding in remote Eastern Europe. Blaze is enlisted to aid a secret sect to save a boy (played by Fergus Riordan) from the devil himself (played by Deathly Hallows' Ciaran Hinds), a mission that will reluctantly require Blaze to embrace the Spirit of Vengeance again. Idris Elba plays Moreau, a character who offers Blaze a chance at redemption.

Taylor told fans that their Ghost Rider is meaner, darker and more intense than the Ghost Rider seen in the first film, while Neveldine said they tested what fire would do to leather hence the character's outfit looking like black, bubbling tar when he transforms.

The directors also discussed the film's PG-13 rating, saying they came up with creative ways of getting around it by making it "PG-16" if you will. They have F-bombs in it and a high body count, including lots of burned bodies, but it all met with MPAA approval.

The panel opened with a behind-the-scenes featurette showcasing the directors' crazy, roller-blading style of shooting sequences culminating with a title card declaring "F***ing Your S*** Up in 3D in February 2012." They also showed a red band version of the trailer in 3D.

•  The main event was the panel for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, featuring directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Before one minute of footage was even shown, we first saw a… highlight reel of the director’s balls-to-wall style of filmmaking [Same footage from San Diego Comic-Con Sony panel]. From Neveldine roller-blading on the back of high-speed vehicles, to hanging on wires over cliffs to shoot a sick slow-motion action sequence – these guys certainly fit the term “extreme filmmaking.”
• After the director highlights, it was on to a new 3D trailer for Spirit of Vengeance. We got a little more of the story this time, which revolves around Idris Elba’s character, a warrior monk, approaching Blaze for a “sacred” mission of protection. We get fleeting looks at some of the villains in the film: this includes Ciarán Hinds as the devil (great casting), and Johnny Whitworth as the evil thug who will eventually become Ghost Rider nemesis, Blackout. There was also a quick shot of the fully-transformed Blackout, who looks pretty close to his comic book version (pale skin, white hair, check).
• It’s clear in the trailer that this Ghost Rider will be a darker version of the character when compared to the first movie. Blaze is now slave to the demon’s hunger to dispense justice – and dispense justice he does aplenty.

In the Q&A that followed, Neveldine and Taylor dropped the following tidbits:

• Spirit of Vengeance was made as a “PG-16” movie. They knew that they had to fit a studio rating, but they found ways to get around the MPAA mandates – WITHOUT sacrificing naughty fun like dropping “F-bombs” and showcasing some bone-crushing action and violence. Seriously, there’s a shot in the film of somebody literally breaking their leg. Parents be warned.
• The pair have always considered Crank to be trilogy. In terms of Crank 3, their position is, as Taylor put “a matter of where and when.” Subsequent questions resulted in multiple Ghost Rider vs. Chev Cheleos suggestions.
• Nic Cage apparently smells like vanilla cookies (joke), and is ‘one of the darkest people’ they’ve met – for those who think the actor is nothing but a walking punchline.
• Both directors are adamant that post-conversion 3D is “what you make of it.” As Taylor explained, “Saying a post-converted 3D movie was bad, and therefore post-conversion 3D is bad, is like saying the CGI was bad in a movie you saw, and therefore CGI is bad. It’s simply not true.” They explained that they couldn’t havePossibly shot the film using 3D rigs – given the type of guerilla shooting style they work with – but that they were fully invested in making the post-conversion a strong part of the viewing experience
• Somebody suggested that the pair should make Deadpool. They respectfully stated that somebody (Tim Miller) was already handling that – though they said fans should feel free to make their wishes known on the Interwebs.
• They changed the bike from a chopper because “you can’t do stunt bike s*it on a chopper.”

Neveldine and Taylor definitely left the crowd applauding and feeling good about Ghost Rider 2.
