See the New ‘Ghostbusters’ Together For the First Time!
Now that Columbia Pictures has locked in their new Ghostbusters, it’s going to be fun to speculate what they’ll look like in costume.
In terms of how they’ll gel together? Well, we can see that right now!
The “Saturday Night Live” 40th Anniversary Special brought together pretty much all the big names in Hollywood, including all four of the new ‘busters.
Leslie Jones, one of the newly cast members, shared the following photo of her with Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and Kate McKinnon. It’s fun to see what they look like together…
Bridesmaids‘ Paul Feig is directing for a July 22, 2016 release.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
