Rumors & Innuendos: M. Night, Ghost Rider, Speed Racer

According to several web sites, M. Night Shyamalan is rumored to be a possible director of the next Harry Potter film. If you are into that kind of thing, I guess that's good news. Personally, we've never really understood the whole Harry Potter phenomenon. Whatever.

Nicolas Cage is working on a new film entitled Ghost Rider. Of course, it is a filmed adaptation of a comic book. Again. But we love Cage and will certainly check this one out.

Speaking of filmed adaptations of cartoons, a big screen version of Speed Racer is finally being pushed forward. Reportedly, the Wachowski Brothers may be at the helm, and Vince Vaughn is being considered for the role of the mysterious Racer X. I love that casting choice, but here's the million dollar question: Who will play the title role?
