Explosive: ‘Ghostbusters’ Spinoff In the Works?!

Published

on

As of a result of the Sony hack, the Ghosbusters news is never-ending.

To recap:

Columbia Pictures allegedly considered suing Bill Murray into taking a role in the now defunct Ghostbusters 3.

Rebel Wilson has talked to new director Paul Feig about a role in the all-female Ghosbtusters.

Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer and Lizzy Caplan are all alleged to be interested in joining the new quartet of ‘busters.

Lastly, Ryan Gosling is both interested and being courted, according to leaked information yesterday.

The latest, once again courtesy of The Daily Beast, has Jurassic Park and Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Chris Pratt and 21 Jump Street‘s Channing Tatum teaming for what they call the Batman Begins of Ghostbusters. Oh, and it’s a spinoff to the new franchise…

While we won’t publish the e-mails here on the site, the duo want to turn in a film/franchise that’s both super scary and funny, which is exactly the tone that made the original work so well.

It was also suggested that this gets developed alongside Paul Feig’s all-female reboot, meaning a spinoff could be inevitable.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
