Teaser Trailer Released For Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Teaser Trailer Released For Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

, , 0

This morning Sony released the first, Bananarama-tastic peek at what we now know is called Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. If you feel like the movie before this just came out yesterday, you’re not alone: Ghostbusters Afterlife was released in November of 2021 and this is incredibly quick for a follow-up movie. The Ghostbusters are once again a functioning organization in New York City…and not a moment too soon. The metropolis is about to face its biggest spectral threat yet: a gigantic spirit with the power to cover everything in permafrost and icicles. If there’s any consistency to the tales told about the Ghostbusters over the years, it’s that they seem to have trouble convincing federal authorities the threat they’re chasing is real, no matter how many times it’s loudly proven itself to be real. Well, what do you think about THIS, Mr. Peck?? Unfortunately the keys for the Ecto-1 and all ghostbusting equipment have been handed to a couple of 17-year-olds. Not the wisest idea, Winston. How are a couple wimps

Ghostbusters Afterlife Just Took A Gremlins-Like Turn

Ghostbusters Afterlife Just Took A Gremlins-Like Turn

, , , 1

In the fall of 2021, Ghostbusters Afterlife will finally debut in theaters. It’ll star Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd…the latter of whom is featured in a clip released by Sony to the world this morning. Rudd’s character is shopping at the grocery when he hears noises coming from one of the Stay-Puft Marshmallows packages. As he cranes in for a closer look, the bag bursts and out comes a miniature, living Stay-Puft. Rudd thinks the thing is adorable and holds out a finger — which the Stay-Puft immediately bites, revealing its true colors. Then a ton of other Stay-Pufts burst out of the other bags and start doing crazy things, both destructive to their environment as well as each other…very much like Warner Bros’ Gremlins. The obvious question that comes to mind is this: how can these exist? In the context of the original film, Gozer took the form of Stay-Puft because Ray Stantz was unable to keep his mind blank and drifted to a pleasant

My newest interview subject, John Bruno, is an accomplished visual effects artist. He’s helped to create some of the most memorable images of the last few decades of blockbuster cinema in projects ranging from Ghostbusters and the first two Poltergeist films to Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Batman Returns to Avatar and the Twilight films. He’s even won an Oscar, taking home the Best Visual Effects Oscar for The Abyss. I spoke to John Bruno recently about his long and diverse career, and we put this together over the course of two phone calls. I hope you all enjoy getting to know this amazing talent. Say hello to John Bruno! Johnny: I would like to start off with this question: Had you always wanted to be in the entertainment industry, or did you initially have a different career goal in mind?

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Is Out

You probably missed Ghostbusters: The Video Game when it initially saw release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Don’t skip out on it this time! The modern rerelease is out today for all consoles, so you have no excuse! Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released in 2009. It featured a new plot that took place after Ghostbusters 1 and 2, based on a script written by Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, and had the entire original cast providing voices. It’s the closest we will ever get to an actual Ghostbusters 3, and the game itself wasn’t that bad either. A sleeper when it was released, the original Ghostbusters: The Video Game now fetches high prices on eBay. The time is right for a re-release on modern consoles, we’d say. Good thing the current rights holders agree with us. Saber Interactive has brought this sucker back! As the new rookie on the Ghostbusters crew, you’ll team up with your favorite characters from the films, reunited by the voices of Aykroyd, Ramis,

Yes It’s True: Sony Is Making Another Ghostbusters

Yes It’s True: Sony Is Making Another Ghostbusters

It hasn’t been that long since “Ghostbusters: Answer The Call,” the divisive reboot directed by Paul Feig that appeared in theaters ’round 2016. In pre-anticipation of the film’s inevitable success, Sony established a division within its company dubbed “Ghost Corps,” devoted to expanding and spreading the Ghostbusters brand with sequels, spinoffs and Cinematic Universes. Then “Answer The Call” underperformed, and Sony brushed all those plans off the desk. Now it appears they’ve had second thoughts. People still love the 1984 original, after all, and the 80s cartoon still has a lot of fans. The comic books by IDW still do well. Why kill the entire brand over just one movie? Sony has decided to give it one more shot. Actually, it appears they made this decision months ago, because what they just announced is far enough along to have a teaser trailer. No actors are seen (in fact no one may even be cast yet) but the message is clear. Ember Bernstein music, theramin, Ecto 1, proton pack sounds…..SUMMER 2020!

10 Movies Not Covered On VH1’s I Love The 80s

10 Movies Not Covered On VH1’s I Love The 80s

, , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Back in my RetroJunk days, many of my articles were list articles, and many of those lists pertained to the pop culture of the 1980s. As a lot of these articles were written in the 00s, they were part of the first wave of 80s nostalgia, probably best exemplified by VH1’s I Love The 80s trilogy. There were three installments, those being 2002’s original I Love The 80s, 2003’s I Love The 80s Strikes Back and 2005’s I Love The 80s 3-D. I was puzzled as to why they called it I Love The 80s when so many of the commentators were snarky and sarcastic about it, lacking the love of the title, but I watched all three installments anyway because of the topics covered. You can preface this article’s title with the words 10 Big Ones because these were big movies not covered on VH1’s I Love The 80s. Surprisingly, there were a lot of movies they never got around to, movies that spring readily to mind when you

SDCC 2017: Ghostbusters Animated Film Coming

SDCC 2017: Ghostbusters Animated Film Coming

The Ghostbuters haven’t had a good run of things recently. The “reboot” film featuring an all female cast only did decently at the box office, and thus didn’t make a profit. What’s worse, after that, people starting point fingers as to who or what was to blame for the films failure. But, if some quotes from San Diego Comic Con are to be believed, there may be good things ahead. Ivan Reitman, who wrote the original Ghostbuster films, said that there’s work of an animated Ghostbusters film in the works right now. What makes this even more interesting is apparently the film will take place from the viewpoint of a ghost. That’s right, you’ll see the Ghostbusters team from the view of a ghost they’re likely trying to capture. Reitman also confirmed another live-action film is in the works too. So though it may be down, the franchise is clearly not out. For more on what Reitman said, check out the video below.

SDCC 2017: Ghostbusters/TMNT Teaming Up Again

There has been a LOT of comic book crossovers with properties you thought would never happen. We’ve seen Batman meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man meet Lion-O, Tarzan enter the Planet of the Apes, and so much more. But now, a previously seen crossover is happening again. The Ghostbusters are teaming up with the TMNT for a second time. This was revealed at San Diego Comic Con. And the plot goes: “Our story begins when an old adversary traps the Turtles in a ghost dimension, as old adversaries are wont to do. However, all hope is not lost for our Heroes in Half-Shell, as New York City’s resident experts on all things spooky quickly answer the call.” Needless to say, the team behind the comic crossover is very happy to have it happening. “When Erik and I first broached the idea of joining the TMNT with the Ghostbusters way back when, it felt like a wonderfully impossible dream,” co-writer Tom Waltz said. “Well, that dream came true with the first
