If you're looking for "news," not much there - but it does say that all of the returning cast members shot their roles scattered over the course of one week, so don't expect any of them to play a major role. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/01/hanging-with-bill-murray-on-the-set-of-ghostbusters-afterlife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,367 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Sigh Quote MORBIUS, GHOSTBUSTER: AFTERLIFE And UNCHARTED Have All Been Pushed Back By Sony Pictures We knew this was inevitable in the wake of the current coronavirus pandemic, and Sony Pictures has now announced that three of its upcoming tentpole releases have been pushed back. Unlike Marvel's Black Widow, however, we do know when these movies will hit theaters. Originally scheduled for July 30, Spider-Man spinoff Morbius, the Living Vampire will now bow on March 19, 2021, while Ghostbusters: Afterlife is moving from its July 10 release to March 5, 2021. That date had been reserved for video game adaptation Uncharted, which has been shifted to October 8, 2021 - moving the untitled Sony Marvel movie that was previously in that spot into undated status. https://www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man/morbius/morbius-ghostbuster-afterlife-and-uncharted-have-all-been-pushed-back-by-sony-pictures-a174213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 That's plenty of time to abandon this kids on a farm storyline and reshoot it with the original cast.

mstrox 6,637 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The studios already have stuff slotted into late 2020 and I'm sure they're hopeful to keep those slots. They're starting to backload, filling slots previously reserved for movies that haven't been/won't be completed on time with movies that will. I think the only reason those won't stay put is if they'd need to be pushed back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,664 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thing is, when we go back to normal, enough for cinemas to open (I would hope late sptring sort of time), they're going to need films to show, and fast. So while now things are being shelved (or post production periods extended), we could see a reversal in 3 months, when suddenly studios are racing to get new films out the door, and commissioning emergency scores. Perhaps in the first few weeks/months, cinemas show older films or prequels (to expected sequels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have my doubts this movie was generating any serious buzz anyway. The whole production came out of nowhere and the movie seemed fast-tracked. They slapped in trendy Gen Z star (Ghostbusters doesn't appeal to kids these days), Gen X doll from Clueless (appeals to Gen X and millennials and perhaps has Gen Z crossover appeal due to his appearances in popular comedies, Marvel and also his physical appearance, botoxed and de-aged to still appear theoretically in his 30s) and the original cast in minimal roles (appeals to the old timers), while completely ignoring the garbage fem remake. It's all very calculated, but weirdly calculated. I'm not sure who the hell this is for. Ghostbuster kids on a farm? When I was a kid, I typically didn't like kids in movies and TV. I looked up to the adults. A perfect example of this is Jurassic Park, where I didn't want to see the kids, but rather the grown-ups (and dinosaurs). Ghostbusters? In their 30s and 40s. Batman? 30s, possibly pushing 40. Enterprise crews? 30s, 40s, 50s and God knows what for Picard. Made sense to have seasoned officers in charge of the flagship. In the JJ Abrams Star Trek, the ship was ludicrously inherited by a bunch of kids. Point is, I liked adults in movies. Nowadays, these roles have all been de-aged and kids are being unbelievably and annoyingly cast in the roles. Is everything for kids these days and do kids actually want to see kids in the roles? Again, we now have Ghostbuster kids on a farm. Bob? Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,367 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I guess to move up was the right call. The buzz for the movie wasn't exactly outstanding, and it would have to face the first semester blockbusters (Mulan, Black Widow, etc). that got delayed due to the virus. Now they'll have more time to build their marketing strategy. I think what is going to happen is: Movies that would be coming out in March to May 2020 -> Actually premieres on June, July, August Movies from mid 2020 -> Actually premieres on August to November 2020 Movies from late 2020 -> Actually premieres on early 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,249 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Bill Murray on this film: Quote Murray shared how the conversation between him and director Jason Reitman began, “I remember him calling me and saying, ‘I’ve got an idea for another ‘Ghostbusters.’ I’ve had this idea for years.I thought, ‘What the heck could that possibly be?’ I remember him when he was a kid. I remember his Bar Mitzvah. I was like, ‘What the heck? What does this kid know?’ But he had a really, really wonderful idea that he wrote with another wonderful guy that I got to work with, Gil Kenan, who made ‘City of Ember.’ The two of them wrote a ‘Ghostbusters’ movie that really brings it back to life. It really has the feel of the first one, more than the second one or the girls’ one. It has a different feel than two out of four.” The film was originally slated to be released last year and has since reshuffled its opening to November 11. Murray talked about Reitman’s task to carry his father Ivan Reitman’s mantle while creating a story with new leads that brings the legacy characters back in some way. “I think he’s really got something,” Murray continued, “It was hard. It was really hard. That’s why I think it’s gonna be good. We were just in it for a little while, but it was physically painful. Wearing those packs is extremely uncomfortable. We had batteries the size of batteries. They now have batteries the size of earrings. It’s still a really heavy thing to wear, all the time. The special effects in this one are a lot of wind and dirt in your face, and there was a lot of going down and getting back up. I was like, ‘What is this? What am I doing? These are like Bulgarian deadlifts, or a Russian kettlebell, getting up and down with this thing on my back.’ It was very uncomfortable. Usually, when something has a very high misery quotient, something comes of that and some quality is produced that, if you can capture it and project it, comes on the screen and affects you. I think it comes out sometime in the fall. They’ve delayed it for a year or a year and a half, but I’m glad they did. It will be worth seeing.” https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/1168381-bill-murray-on-pain-glory-of-returning-for-ghostbusters-afterlife DarthDementous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giftheck 916 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I quite like the look of this film. It certainly feels more heartfelt than the previous attempt. BTW, IGN has a feature where Reitman breaks the trailer down. There's a lot of elements they've scanned and repurposed from the original film and it sounds like they decided to keep the practical, worn feel from the original film. Also, yes: those are Terror Dogs. Maybe not Zuul exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't bothered. This one feels like it has a reason to exist. I can't explain why I feel that way. It feels like it's own movie but with a connection to Ghostbusters.

Nick1Ø66 4,687 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I actually thought Feig's Ghostbusters was pretty funny, and I personally don't know anyone who didn't enjoy it. It can't hold a candle to the original of course, but it was much better than Ghostbusters II. The hate it got was petty and stupid. mstrox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 916 Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 For me, 'hate' is a pretty strong word. I just felt that it was too much a rehash of the first film and despite the four main cast normally working really well with each other, they just came off as unfunny to me in this film. The camoes by old cast members also felt a little insulting, as if specifically designed to rub salt in the wounds of people who had been hoping for a proper send-off for the original cast. It's far from the worst thin in the world of film though. It just could have been much more than it was. Despite the several steps back Ghostbusters II had with some of its characters, it at least had enjoyable moments for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The "hate" was only because when people plainly said "it's not funny", the creators started acting like victims and pretending that people not liking it was actually bigoted attacks.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 People need to do that sort of thing more often. It's like when gamers hate buy something so they can whine about it, then they whine about how bad it is...but they supported the thing. Sometimes bad press ultimately sells something more than people not getting caught up in the hate. That's what happened with Ghostbusters 2016.
