Last week I attended a Ghost Rider event at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. We got to watch some footage from the upcoming film and then sit down with the two stars and writer/director Mark Steven Johnson. In case you missed the interview that I already posted with Nicolas Cage, click here.

As I have written already, the footage of Ghost Rider on the bike with the flaming head looked great. And since that's all we really got to see, that’s all I can really write about. Yeah we saw some footage of Eva and Nic talking in his apartment, but it was a small scene that didn’t show much...

Now even though we didn’t see much of the film, that didn’t stop all of us who attended from asking a ton of questions. The interviews were done in roundtable form and you can either read the interview below or listen to the interview here.

Eva came across as really friendly and surprisingly funny. I especially liked the part when she talked about reading the Ghost Rider comic…

And I think I can answer for all of fandom when I say we will not be disappointed. Here is the rest of the interview.

Question: So is it a normal Thursday evening for you, hanging out at the cemetery?

Mendes: No, I do this on Fridays and Saturday morning.

Question: In the summer, right, for screenings?

Mendes: No, just for kicks. No, I've actually heard about the screenings here, but I've never done it. I've never been.

This is your latest genre flick. The last two you did were 'Children of the Corn V' and 'Urban Legends II.' Are you trying to make amends?

Am I trying to make amends? No. Those were very early on in my career. Actually, 'Children of the Corn V' was actually my first movie project, acting, anything. Aside from playing the Fairy Godmother in the fifth grade that was my first thing and it was just awful, awful, awful – Jesus. I actually think that it's time to see that movie again for like laughs, to be like, 'Look at how terrible that is.'

You should a commentary on DVD.

I should, that'd be awesome. But no, this is something that's great and I've been wanting to work with Nicolas [Cage] for a while. I do that. I kind of like look around and think about who I want to hit next as far as my wish list of actors, and Nicolas has been on that for a while. So when I heard that this project was with him I met with Mark [Steven Johnson]. I had obviously known Mark's work and then I was like, 'Okay, this is me.' Then Mark – I just fell in love with him. We totally get each other's sense of humor. We actually met at this restaurant and we were very polite to each other like you when you first meet and you look at the menu, and the first thing on the menu said Peaky Toe Crab, and just the fact that he got it when I went, 'What the hell is Peaky To Crab?' He looked at me and we had a twenty minute laugh fest and I was like, 'I don't care what this turns out to be. I want to do it with you.' So we kind of had that from the start, and we had this agreement. I said, 'I'm dying to work with you now and Nic, but don't make me just the chick in the movie. Give her some obstacle, some struggle.' Obviously, I play a reporter as well and so I wasn't just some little girl, but Mark is amazing.

So she's not just a damsel in distress?

She kind of is which there is something kind of sexy about, but that's not all she is. There is something kind of sweet and innocent that we wanted to keep about that, but she wasn't a victim. It's kind of hard to see that in terms of how are you not a victim if you're a damsel in distress. So we kind of played with that a bit. You always feel like she's going to be okay without him, but that's the thing – she's going to be just okay without him. She's not going to great. Just okay. She's going to be so much better with him. So it was kind of a little heart breaking little story.

Now you've done a couple of Comic-Cons, right?

Yes, I have.

Have you discovered your inner geek?

I discovered that in the seventh grade. Are you kidding me? Totally. I love it when people are that passionate. I love seeing the people who dress their kids up. I think that it's really cool.

You also see the thirty year olds dressed up.

I know, I know! But when they look like a whole little family unit walking around as aliens, I think it's so cute. It's kind of like Halloween for grownups and Halloween is my favorite holiday. I go nuts for Halloween. So it's kind of a way for adults to express themselves like kids again.

So are we going to see you dress up next Comic-Con?

You know what, that'd be interesting. I think I will. I was a taco for Halloween. Talk about not having qualms about anything. I wore a taco suit that had lettuce going out that way. I was a taco going that way. My head came out of the shell. What should be though? I'm not familiar with all the characters.

Wonder Woman?

No, but that's too sexy. I want to be something different. Think taco, but like a superhero. Super Taco. Nice.

The film has a strong 'Beauty and the Beast' theme. How is it different from other films that portray that theme?

Yeah. It's just better [Laughs]. That's it. It's just better. No. How is it different? I think that because visually it's so strong and so captivating and it's such a pleasure for your eyes, and then to have that and then have a real romantic story going on – I think that's hard to find. I think that's one of the reasons that 'Spider-Man' did so well. We saw these out of control visuals and we'd never seen some of them before, and in this movie you haven't seen some of this stuff before, but then there was a really strong love story there too. That was cool because everything he did was for her and this movie is very much like that.

Is there real danger for her, not just with the bad guys, but with Johnny Blaze himself?

Absolutely. That's the thing. It's kind of like you sleep with the devil. You know the saying. I don't want to have to say it. It's just kind of like that, and I think that a lot of women, and men too, but I can't speak for you guys – we all have problems in our relationships. There are obstacles and this is kind of a major obstacle. Usually you have to just overcome them. This one is like, 'How do you overcome this?' It's a tough one.

Have you always been a fan of biker guys, and are you a biker chick?

No. I'm not a biker chick, but I'd love to play one [Laughs]. I like edge with my guys. So if it's a bike then great. I think it'd be fun to date one, but it wouldn't be fun to settle down with one because then I would be a worried wreck every night. 'Call me as soon as you get there.' Because it's so dangerous. So the dating aspect of a biker guy is a fun idea.

So you like the bad boy?

No. I like good boys that are sometimes bad. I got that down. I know exactly what I like. I've always know. I really do at the end of the day like a sweet, good, strong man, but I do like a little edge. A little crooked there.

Mark says that he gave you a comic book of 'The Pro' and that it interested you?

Oh, yeah. Do you know about that?

That it would be animated? You wouldn't dress like that?

Well, the things that she does – you obviously haven't read it. Come on! There would go my Revlon contract for sure which I don't want to lose. It's just something that we've kind of been talking about and it would be really fun to do, to play something like that obviously just as the voice of someone like that.
