Geek Bytes: Ghost Rider is Looming

Geek news I found while plotting a weekend of Muppet Christmas goodness:

For those of you who enjoy the "Superman is Jesus" discussion, Bryan Singer goes deep into the symbolism of his Superman Returns flick in a long and in-depth interview over at Superhero Hype. Definitely worth the read.
IESB interviews Nic Cage. Only another month or two before his Ghost Rider flick finally sees the cinematic debut it was supposed to get much earlier. Cage isn't worried.
Jessica Alba shows MTV around behind the scenes of Rise of the Silver Surfer. Despite myself, I'm very excited for this film. Fanboy nature seizes control of my brain yet again.
TFW2005 has an interesting look at the Ratchet model from Michael Bay's Transformers flick. It looks much like the general theme established by the other images we've seen so far. If you like Bay's stuff on the other bots, you'll like this. If not, it'll give you something else to complain about.
More Ghost Rider (aren't you the lucky one?) and more interview action from Superhero Hype in the same line. SHH brings you an interview with director Mark Steven Johnson.
