Animated ‘Ghostbusters’ Story to Be Told From a Ghost’s Perspective?

Published

on

While most people will associate Ghostbusters with Ivan Reitman’s 1984 film, I grew up watching “The Real Ghostbusters” animated series, which acted as a sort of companion piece to the film series. With Columbia Pictures rebooting the franchise last year, the plan was to ignite a new universe and build upon the new film that would act as the catalyst behind the modern ‘busters.  It was a flop and left us all wondering what would come of the planned universe. While we still don’t know, it’s alleged that Sony is still developing an animated spinoff as both a feature film and television series.

An interesting rumor surfaced over at The Hashtag Show, who are reporting that the feature film version, being helmed by Fletcher Moules, is going to be told from a ghost’s perspective. This means that the Ghostbusters will be secondary characters to this ghost and that everything will be told from his/her eyes. This is immensely interesting because it begs the question, will this be a Slimer movie? What other ghost could be interesting enough to follow around? Oh, maybe Peter Venkman? If a third Ghostbusters were to ever come to fruition, Bill Murray’s character was not only to be deceased but also a ghost. That would be quite the twist. While this is all speculation on my part, it would be interesting nonetheless to see this franchise take a unique turn.

It’s also worth noting that, in the second season of “The Real Ghostbusters”,  there’s an episode (“Egon’s Ghost”) in which Egon is accidentally zapped by one of his own inventions and becomes, for all intents and purposes, a ghost.

With that said, it’s been well over a year since the director was announced. Is this even happening anymore? What about the television series? We hope Paul Feig didn’t cross the streams and destroy the entire universe before it even had a chance to come to full realization.

Drag Release Date

A heist turns nightmarish for Lizzy Caplan (Cobweb) in the offbeat comedy thriller Drag, and the SXSW darling now has an official release date.

Briarcliff Entertainment will release Drag in theaters on January 29, 2027.

The thriller follows “two estranged sisters who attempt to rob a secluded home in rural upstate New York. What begins as a simple burglary spirals into a nightmarish ordeal after one sister throws out her back and becomes immobilized on the second floor. As tensions rise and panic sets in, the sisters are forced into a painful and increasingly absurd fight for survival before the homeowner returns.”

It’s described as “Equal parts thriller and physical comedy,” which “explores sibling rivalry, physical pain, and the uniquely chaotic bonds of family.”

Lucy DeVito (“Little Demon”), John Stamos (“Full House”), and Christine Ko (“Dave”) also star.

The release announcement comes with a new look at Drag, introducing the estranged sisters caught in a heist nightmare.

Drag is co-written and co-directed by Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer, marking their feature debut.

The film is produced by Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito, and Jake DeVito through Jersey Films 2nd Avenue.

Briarcliff CEO Tom Ortenberg called Drag “a brilliantly original film that’s suspenseful, hilarious, and completely unpredictable. The cast led by Lizzy, Lucy, John, and Christine are the magic that makes the concept work. Audiences are in for a huge treat.”
