Who You Gonna Call? The Ghostbusters In 2019!

Fans had mixed emotions when it came to 2016’s female driven Ghostbusters. Many thought that franchise would end, but they were wrong. Ivan Reitman, the director of the original film and its sequel, made an appearance at a panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. He revealed that he is very optimistic that a new sequel will possibly arrive around the original’s 35th anniversary in 2019. Well, the studio is working on some really nice things. First of all, I can’t believe the movie is still playing and being watched so assiduously… and I can’t believe I’m so old. Yeah, I think there’s going to be a lot of fun, a lot of special things. We’re going to try to tie one of our films close to that date.” It was also mentioned during the panel that the film will be live-action. He also talked about the animated series that is in the works. I think we have wonderful plans,

New Dinosaur Named After Ghostbusters’ Terror Dog

Victoria Arbour and David C. Evans, researchers at the Royal Ontario Museum, have discovered a new species of dinosaur and named it after one of Ghostbuster’s “terror dog”, Zuul. The reason the name was picked, because it resembles the dog-like demons in the first Ghostbuster movie. The beast, an ankylosaurine, whose scientific name is Zuul Crurivastator, which means “destroyer of shins”, had a sledgehammer-like tail that was used during battle and mating. Me and my co-author David Evans were batting around ideas for what to name it, and I half-jokingly said, “It looks like Zuul from Ghostbusters,” Arbour told CBC News. “Once we put that out there we couldn’t not name it that.” Zuul, who lived 75-million-years ago, caught the attention of Dan Aykroyd who played Ray Stantz and co-wrote the film and he visited the museum to see the creature for himself. We’re so honored that the Royal Ontario Museum would accord the name of this magnificent creature with

More Films For The Ghostbusters Franchise Are On The Way

After last year’s female-driven reboot of Ghostbusters failed to cover costs at the box office and left fans unhappy, we thought it would be awhile before we saw another sequel for the franchise. It turns out, we were only half right. In a recent interview with io9, Ivan Reitman, who directed the original and still co-owns Ghost Corps, acknowledged the 2016 reboot’s failures, but left with fans with hope. Not only will we be getting a 2019 or 2020 animated film, there are more live-action instalments on the way. We certainly would’ve loved to have a larger hit,” Reitman said. “But considering the last film was almost 30 years ago, it really did extremely well. I think the film cost too much, frankly, and that’s the real issue. I personally had other points of view in terms of where the film should go and it was kind of a continuous conversation with Paul [Feig] about that. But Paul was the

Reels Of Never Before Seen ‘Ghostbusters’ Footage Discovered

1984 saw the release of a ‘Ghostbuster’, a film that quickly became a classic. News has come that will have fans more excited than Slimer when he sees food, never before seen footage has been discovered! Yesterday, Ghost Corps, a division of Columbia Pictures devoted to everything ‘Ghostbuster’, posted a photo of three film reels, each marked with hand-written notes. Ghost Corps is headed by none other than Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman. One of the reels is titled “Fort Detmerring” and is suspected to contain the sought after deleted scene where Ray Stanz (Dan Aykroyd) gets intimate with a beautiful ghost. The only reason that fans know that the scene exists is that a still surfaced when the film was originally released. Why the scene didn’t make it into the film I don’t know.

Suspension of Disbelief in Film Dysmorphia

Suspension of Disbelief? Sit through this annoying video up until the 5:00 mark. The fan boy “host” in the above video talks in attention deficit tweets. The video uses jump cut “hip” editing to spill out unabashed respect and love for the CGI technique that brought Peter Cushing back from the grave in “Rogue One.” He spends the first five minutes elaborating on the incredible work and effort it took create this digital feat. The “host” proclaims, “I think they pulled it off.” Then, being a true “fan” he takes a swipe at all of the work done by Industrial Light and Magic, effects artist, John Knoll and director Gareth Edwards. “Now Tarkin didn’t look a hundred percent authentic,” the “host” whines, “especially the movement of his mouth, but…he looked better than any other time this has been used.” What movies has this guy made? What has happened to film audiences? In the never ending quest for “realism” in special

Ghostbusters Ain’t Afraid Of No Ghost Or Of Making Another Movie

This year’s ‘Ghostbusters’ reboot was far from a fan favorite. After the film opened in theaters to a lukewarm welcome, director Paul Feig stated that he wasn’t interested in a sequel. But according to producer Ivan Reitman, who produced the 1984 original, the franchise is far from over. A podacest by Mr. Wavvy featuring Reitman has revealed that other ‘Ghostbusters’ films are in the works. There’s going to be many other Ghostbusters movies, they’re just in development right now.” There is no word yet if the rumored animated movie will be next, if the next film will be a sequel featuring the all-female cast of if the next film will feature an all-male cast. A few months ago it had been reported that Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum would headline a new movie. One thing is for sure, ‘Ghostbusters’ ain’t afraid of no ghost, or another film. ‘Ghostbusters’ (2016) starred Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Chris

Dan Aykroyd Thinks That The Ghostbusters Reboot Might Be Better Than The Original

Dan Aykroyd, who played Dr. Ray Stanz and co-wrote the original Ghostbusters, made a shocking statement over the weekend that not only will fans love the new Ghostbusters reboot, but they might actually like it more than the original two movies. “Apart from brilliant, genuine performances from the cast both female and male, it has more laughs and more scares than the first 2 films plus Bill Murray is in it.”Aykroyd stated on Facebook. “As one of millions of man-fans and Ray Stantz, I’m paying to see that and bring all my friends.” Aykroyd both stars in and serves as an executive producer for the Ghostbusters reboot, whose first trailer is ranked as the most disliked trailer in the history of YouTube. However, the second trailer seems to be fairing a bit better. Directed by Paul Feig, from the script penned by Feig and Katie Dippold, the reboot stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Lesie Jones and Chris Hemsworth.A

Sony Cancels Ghostbusters Movie Starring Channing Tatum And Chris Pratt

Last year we reported that there were not one, but two Ghostbusters films in the works. The first film, Paul Feig’s the female-driven female-driven Ghostbusters and the second, a male-driven Ghostbusters starring Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum. Joe and Anthony Russo, the duo behind Captain America: Civil War were attached to the second film, which is now put on hold indefinitely. There was a plan in place to construct a shared universe between the two new films, with a future crossover, but that will not be happening any time soon. With the backlash from fans over Ghostbusters (2016), putting off another movie is probably for the best. Let’s be honest, no matter who stars in a new Ghostbusters movies, it will never top the originals and fans know it. Sony may be realizing that it’s time to get off the remake train, at least I hope they are.

Ghostbusters’ Michael K. Williams Confirms The Return Of Our Favorite Green Ghost

There have been rumors circulating for awhile that our favorite green ghost, Slimer, will be returning for the new female driven remake of Ghostbusters. An IMDb creditor appeared that seemed to confirm the rumors, but then the film’s director Paul Feig tweeted that the rumor was not true. Now, Ghosbusters actor Michael K. Williams has confirmed that the whispers are absolutely true during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “I’m not going to lie, working with Melissa, and Kristen, and Kate was really dope. But I got to work with Slimer, dude. Like Slimer!!! I’m in a scene with Slimer! I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan and it was a dream come true.” I can’t say we’re surprised. With Hi-C’s Ecto Coolers and the new Hostess’ green Slimer themed Twinkies hitting shelves it was clear that the always hungry green guy was back. In the same interview Williams revealed his role in Ghostbuster, which opens in theaters July 15th. “I play the
