They were filming Ghost Rider in my street

The upcoming movie Ghost Rider starring Nicolas Cage is being filmed completely in Australia, Nic Cage done up in all the make up looks alot like Johnny Blaze from the comic.

A few weeks ago they closed off a bridge leading from the train station to the casino so they could film one part of the chase scene on the bridge, it was covered so tightly no one could see a thing. Nicolas Cage has been seen having coffee and lunch in Melbourne, some people have even had photos taken with him and sent them into the paper. But the project has kept pretty secret other than that.
A few days ago though I was walking past the tunnel right on the end of my street and there were police surrounding it. It looked like a large car fire I thought it was someone who stole a car and abandoned it in the tunnel setting fire to it ,but I was wrong. Seeing the paper a few days later there was a picture of that tunnel and the Hellcycle from Ghost Rider with the front tire set on fire, it looks amazing.

The tunnel

No matter how this movie turns out i'll probably still like it, just spotting the locations and about 80% of it is filmed in Melbourne. I remember feeling the same about the film Mr Nice Guy watching Jackie Chan run through the city of Melbourne and jumping on top of trams was great.
