Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be releasing a Ghost Rider Gift Set on November 13. The gift set will feature a two-disc extended cut of Ghost Rider with 15 minutes of extra footage and over two hours of special features, along with an exclusive limited edition figure of the flaming Ghost Rider. The figure is cast in heavyweight polystone with accurate-to-the-movie costuming detail (including his signature chains).

The Ghost Rider Gift Set will be going for for US$59.95 (or B$90). You'll behind the scenes with DVD bonus featurettes - 'Spirit of Vengeance' and 'Spirit of Adventure', as well as listen to commentaries with writer/director Mark Steven Johnson (who also did Daredevil), visual effects supervisor Kevin Mack, and producer Gary Foster. The extended cut DVD includes an additional behind-the-scenes featurette called 'Spirit of Execution', along with a series called 'Sin and Salvation' which helps fans through the history of the Ghost Rider comics. Fans will also get a look at the computer animation behind Ghost Rider.

The Extended Cut of Ghost Rider features an additional 15 minutes of never-before-seen footage, including more backstory between Johnny Blaze (played by good old Nick Cage) and his father, additional scenes between Johnny and Mephistopheles (played by Henry Fonda), even confrontation between the Caretaker and Blackheart.

This is truly a must-get for Marvel to Ghost Rider to plain superhero fans.
