Explosive: ‘Ghostbusters’ Spinoff In the Works?!
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.
Thoughts on this bombshell?!
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
