Major ‘Ghostbusters’ Character Details Revealed – Could Bill Murray Return?!

Published

Ghostbusters

I’m still looking out my window thinking I’m going to see some pigs fly by as yesterday a Ghostbusters bomb was dropped. It appears that not only do we have our main cast in place, but there’s also a planned release.

First, mark your calendars for July 22, 2016, at that’s when Columbia Pictures plans to bust some spooks.

Now, let’s talk about the newly minted all-female ‘busters, lead by Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Our friends at Hitfix shared the following inside character info:

“Kristen Wiig is playing Erin Garber, a published author on the subject of the paranormal. Erin now works for Columbia University.

Leslie Jones is playing Abby Bergman, who co-authored the book with Garber. Since publication, the two former colleagues had a falling out and went their separate ways. Abby more actively chases ghost a la Ghost Hunters. This tension between academic investigation (Wiig’s character) and mainstream media investigation (Jones’ character) is central to the story.

Kate McKinnon is playing Abby Berman’s new partner, Jillian.

Melissa McCarthy is playing Patty, an NYC subway worker who stumbles across the main, supernatural threat in the film.”

The site suggests that the casting is tailored to the roles, as opposed to be pigeonholed into one, even though it looks to me like they’ve just emulated the original four ‘busters.

But some really interesting news is that the studio hopes to convince Bill Murray to star as Martin Heiss, “a man who is a professional supernatural debunker who is out to prove that the Ghostbusters are frauds,” while also confirming they hope to land Peter Dinklage, as previously reported, as the main villain, “a creepy mechanical genius.”

Paul Feig is directing the reboot that’s going to be both fun and scary. Oh, and it will be set in New York, thankfully.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:

Aliens Uncovered: Origins (2021): Before Area 51, hidden deep in the desert, the military discovered a hidden gem that helped them create Project Bluebook.

Aliens Uncovered: ET or Man-Made (2022): The crash of Roswell wasn’t meant for New Mexico. In 1947, a neighboring state had 3 major sightings that were swept under the rug.

Roswell (2021): This high-flying documentary examines the July 1947 crash of a United States Army Air Forces balloon at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Theories claim the crash was actually that of a flying saucer, but what is the truth?
