With the release of the awesome teaser trailer for Neveldine/Taylor’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, I decided to screengrab a ton of images because the trailer is loaded with tons of new images.  As you'll see after the jump, we now have our first look at Christopher Lambert's character, Ciarán Hinds as the Devil, Violante Placido as Nadya, and if you look close…you might see Johnny Whitworth as Blackout.  While I thought Neveldine/Taylor would do a great job on the sequel to Ghost Rider, I'll admit the trailer looks way better than I expected.  I love the way Ghost Rider looks and also how they tease his new transformation.  Hit the jump for 34 high resolution images from Ghost Rider 2.Here's the official synopsis:

Nicolas Cage returns as Johnny Blaze in Columbia Pictures' and Hyde Park Entertainment's Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. In the successor to the worldwide hit Ghost Rider, Johnny - still struggling with his curse as the devil's bounty hunter - is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Ciaran Hinds). At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy - and possibly rid himself of his curse forever. Directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Screenplay by Scott M. Gimple & Seth Hoffman and David S. Goyer. Story by David S. Goyer. Based on the Marvel Comic. Produced by Steven Paul, Ashok Amritraj, Michael De Luca, Avi Arad, and Ari Arad.
