[up] I heard that the Staypuft mascot rampaging across New York was seen by the company as good advertisement for the brand.

It's such striking visual that you are unlikely to ever forget it.

It's the stuff advertisers dream of.

Especially after knowing there was apparently some estrangement between Ivan and his son Jason and they only fairly recently reconciled (which almost mirrors what happened between Harold Ramis and Bill Murray).

If I had a nickel for every film where Emma Stone falls off a balcony... I'd only have two nickels, but weird that there's two of them.

From the studio that made Friday the 13th: The Game, we have our latest Ghostbusters video game directly connected to the "Ghost Corps' sub-studio made for the franchise: Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.

An excerpt from Polygon's coverage

On Tuesday, developer Illfonic announced Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, an all-ages take on its brand of four-versus-one asymmetric multiplayer games, where you play as your own original Ghostbusters team — or take on the role of a ghost hellbent on wreaking haunted havoc.

As Ghostbusters, players will wield Proton Packs, Particle Throwers, Ghost Traps, and a PKE Meter in first-person in order to track, attack, and subdue ghosts as a team of four. As one of a variety of playable ghosts, players will also terrorize everyday citizens in a variety of locations, possess objects in the environment, and teleport across maps using rifts. Ghosts aren’t defenseless, either; they can slime and stun the enemy Ghostbusters team as they try to haunt each map to completion. (There’s no death in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, just ’busters going into a downed state.)

Your Ghostbusters team will set up shop in the original film’s firehouse, complete with the Ecto-1 in the group’s garage. Winston Zeddemore, voiced by Ernie Hudson, will offer guidance there, while Ray Stantz, voiced by Dan Aykroyd, will give insight into the spectral world from Ray’s Occult Books — conveniently located just across the street from the firehouse, for the purposes of the game.

At the firehouse, players will customize their own Ghostbuster (and with the help of Tobin’s Spirit Guide, customize their ghost) and their loadouts. While the traditional Ghostbusters gear is available here in Spirits Unleashed, other unlockable weapons and equipment will also become available to further customize your team.

So dead by daylight?

Hoping we get some of the cooler ghosts than. Maybe take a few of the more iconic ones from real like Samhain and The Bogeyman.

A sequel to Afterlife has been announced at CinemaCon. There are no additional details besides that.

So, Sony, when can we get a brand new animated series?

...no particular reason I bring this up, but Alex Hirsch could nail a Ghostbusters cartoon. An original one, too, it must be stressed. Don't worry about rebooting either of the existing ones, just let him loose.

I'm glad this did well enough even with the pandemic to get a sequel. It had a lot more genuine heart than the typical half-sequel-half-remake sort of movie does.

A ,brand new Netflix animated series is finally happening. What, you thought Sony would use Crackle?

A new “Ghostbusters” animated series is in development at Netflix, Variety has learned exclusively. The series hails from Sony Pictures Animation, with Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan of Ghost Corps, Inc. onboard as executive producers. Reitman and Kenan recently co-wrote the live-action feature “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” with Reitman also directing.

Exact plot details on the new animated series are currently being kept under wraps. No writer is attached at the time of this publishing. Production will be handled by Netflix and Ghost Corps, Inc., which is based at Sony’s Columbia Pictures.

News of the new animated series comes on the annual “Ghostbusters Day” celebration, during which Jason Reitman and Kenan are expected to unveil more about future “Ghostbusters” projects.

Oh, sweet. Should be interesting with what they do with the ghosts. Extreme Ghostbusters even took ones that aren't ghosts like a Spinx due to having a lot less to work with. But to be fair, a lot of folklore back then isn't as well known or documented yet, so by now, there should be much more to work with.

...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.

I keep reading a rumor on how Robin Williams was in consideration for Peter Venkman. On here, on IMDb, on Screen Rant, etc. Is there any truth to this?
