Here’s How ‘Ghostbusters’ Will Be Realistic…
A new Ghostbusters casting rumor has surfaced, this one including a spoiler that’s pretty damn cool.
Director Paul Feig and screenwriter Katie Dippold have carved out a key supporting role for “SNL” star Cecily Strong (pictured below), says Film Divider, who stresses that they don’t know if her deal is done yet.
They don’t give too much away about the character, but it’s fair to say that the role is one of the biggest non-Ghostbuster parts aside from the villain (rumored to be Peter Dinklage). She will play an authority figure who liaises with our heroines, privately backing their activities and acknowledging their legitimacy, but publicly denouncing the group to the media in order to avoid panic amongst the wider populous. In short, she’s the glue to the entire world, making it even more believable to modern audiences (when the original Ghostbusters came out in 1982 we were void of social media and a strong National news presence). I think calling the role “big” is still an understatement…
Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and Kate McKinnon become the new all-female ‘busters on July 22, 2016.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
