Will Stay Puft Appear In Paul Feig’s ‘Ghostbusters’? (Exclusive)
Last week Columbia Pictures slimed us all with the first full trailer for Ghostbusters, Paul Feig’s female-centric take on the franchise that started in 1984 and spawned several cartoon series and an underrated sequel.
The trailer had all sorts of reveals, with the biggest being the visual confirmation that Slimer would appear. Feig had publicly denied our initial confirmation, which is surprising considering Slimer’s featured heavily in the footage.
The reason I bring this up is because our same source has been able to confirm that, as of this writing, STAY PUFT will NOT be seen in Feig’s Ghostbusters, opening July 15, 2016.
Hearing so came as a shock, considering Slimer’s appearance, not to mention the fact that Feig has filmed cameos (in new roles) for many of the original Ghostbusters cast, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and even Sigourney Weaver.
Will Stay Puft be missed? Of course, on some level, but I’d prefer to see Feig’s own interpretation on Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters than fill it with heavy fan-service.
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was chosen by Ray (Dan Aykroyd) as “the Destroyer” when battling Gozer during the final scene of Ghostbusters. He also appeared in the cartoon and even befriended Slimer at one point.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
