Strap On a Proton Pack Because YOU Can Be a Ghostbuster!
More and more I’m seeing that VR is the next big thing in entertainment technology. 3D is still something that happens here and there in theaters but I don’t see it being pushed nearly as much as it was just a couple of years ago. The focus now is on VR tech and how it can influence and shape the video game and, to some extent, movie industries.
While movie-to-video game adaptations have been a thing for decades, we’re now entering a period where well done and really immersive VR experiences can be created to help push a movie to new audiences. For example, the upcoming Ghostbusters is getting its own exhibition at NYC’s infamous Madame Tussaud’s museum where participants will be able to bust some ghosts on their own.
This July you’ll be able to strap on a proton pack, feel the rumble of the proton gun in your hands, and literally step into the world of Ghostbusters in this epic adventure.
We teamed up with Sony Pictures to develop our first public installation based on the studio’s Ghostbuster Franchise.
Come track and trap ghosts through a New York apartment complex.
The exhibition opens July 1st and tickets can be purchased here.
The film, which comes out July 15th, 2016, stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. Director Paul Feig has filmed cameos (in new roles) for many of the original Ghostbusters cast, including Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Annie Potts, and even Sigourney Weaver.
Andy Garcia, Michael Kenneth Williams, Matt Walsh, Neil Casey, and Pat Kiernan also star alongside Chris Hemsworth.
“SNL” vet Neil Casey is the main Ghostbusters villain, Rowan, and was described as a convicted murderer who turns into a ghost after his execution is hit by a supercharged electrical storm. This gives him the power to raise an army of other ghosts, which could be made up of famous villains throughout history.
We already know that this year’s Evil Dead Burn is directly connected to Evil Dead Rise, but will the brand new movie have any connection to the franchise’s more distant past?
According to Evil Dead Burn star Hunter Doohan, there are indeed connections between the new movie and director Sam Raimi’s original trilogy of Evil Dead tales!
Doohan explains in a fresh new chat with Out Magazine that he’s playing a character named Joseph in Evil Dead Burn, who is “researching the lore in the story.”
“Joseph is working on a book about his grandfather’s research,” Doohan reveals in his chat with Out Magazine. “His grandfather knew Professor Knowby.”
Doohan continues, “I loved how this script not only ties back a little bit to Evil Dead Rise — but this movie connects the lore through the whole franchise, which I found really exciting.”
Professor Raymond Knowby is at the very center of the original Evil Dead trilogy, heard on the infamous tape recorder in the original classic and later featured in Raimi’s Evil Dead II.
Professor Knowby found the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in the ruins of Castle Kandar, bringing the book and its Deadite curse to the cabin in the woods that Ash and friends end up at.
Needless to say, Knowby is one of the most important characters in the mythology of the Evil Dead saga. And it sounds like Evil Dead Burn is bringing it all full circle this Summer.
Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn releases in theaters July 10, 2026.
After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into Deadites—turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell—she comes to discover that the vows she took in life… live on even in death.
