"Lambert says he is in talks now to do Ghost Rider 2 with Nicolas Cage. He did sword training for 3 months. His pinky is fine (thanks for asking). And if you want to marry him, he will need to see a photo first."

If you dont know the plot yet:
"The story sees Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider (Nicolas Cage), hiding out in remote Eastern Europe and struggling to repress his curse. Blaze is recruited by a sect to take on the devil (Ciarin Hinds), who wants to take over his mortal son’s body on the boy’s birthday."

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance comes to theaters February 17th, 2012 and stars Nicolas Cage, Idris Elba, Johnny Whitworth, Ciarán Hinds, Violante Placido. The film is directed by Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor.

Damn, Lambert didn't age to well, especially compared to Adrian Paul, who is only 2 years younger.

Connery's character is Egyptian he only works for the Spanish king.

The perfect person to play Magneto, if only he could act, but he flat out can't, would be Vince McMahon. Since we all know he can't act, that leaves Eric Roberts as my personal favorite to play Magneto.

Sorry but as entertaining as he was in MK, he was a shyte Raiden. There was nothing remotely close to Raiden in his portrayal. Well... i guess the lightning was the closest thing. Mass and OP are right though. He'd have made a stellar Magneto. Way better than Raiden or it's true name Raijin: the JAPANESE god of thunder. Would you have prefered an Asian to portray Marvel's Thor??? I think not.

@ teabag & @ siolentvex

@deadpool72
Yeah I think everyone in the universe has agreed to ignore the crap that is Highlander 2.

As a side note, I have always enjoyed the fact that Connery refuses to hide his native accent.

But to get back to the topic, I would love to see Lambert restart his career,.... but the first GR was so horrible that I can't imagine this one being any better.

@Teabag

The most cringeworthy part of Highlander is the oh so French Lambert explaining what a haggis is to Sean Connery. neither of them doing anything to disguise their natural accents lol

in unrelated Highlander news.

i love the original, and would hate to see it get a crappy reboot.

he strikes a remarkable resemblance to lambert.
