OMFG of the Day: Vintage Behind-the-Scenes ‘Ghostbusters 2’ Footage Featuring the Slimer Puppet!

Published

I’m in a pissy mood and want to head off for the weekend on a good note, so I figured why not post something that’s just so cool it’s impossible not to smile.

If and when a third Ghostbusters were to arrive in theaters, we all know that they’ll rely heavily on CGI for the ghosts. Unearthed and hitting the web in a flurry is the following vintage video featuring puppet tests for Slimer! Piloted by Robin Shelby, below you can watch all sorts of behind-the-scenes goodness from Ghostbusters 2. Too bad juicy stuff like this never hit the DVD/Blu-rays — speaking of, I wonder if Sony will ever do a fresh transfer and fix that piece of sh*t floating around in stores? Mfffff, there go my happy thoughts…

Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.

Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”

Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!

Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
