We live in a time where Ghostbusters rumors are seemingly an every day norm between the oncoming video game and the long-time-coming Ghostbusters 3, which now appears to be well on its way. No one really knows how that third movie will eventually turn out; we hope for the best and fear the very worst, but we do know that the sad, depressing truth is that CG special effects will be featured heavily. With all of the luck in the world, they’ll use these effects in a smart way and the movie will still be great, but in the end, that original classic and the brilliant work that went into it will continue to be king of the Ghostbusters mountain.
To help refresh us on why the original movie was so great, a brand new all-things Ghostbusters website has been unleashed to the world. Perhaps the best thing that you’ll find at this website, is a collection of never-before-seen images, including a couple of screenshots and a bunch of behind-the-scenes pictures and a look at the great special effects that went into the classic. Also on the site, there’s links to the video game site and information on the Blu-ray/DVD release, message boards, a place to register for updates, a store to buy Ghostbusters goodies, and even a place where you can apply to be a Ghostbuster yourself.
Click on over to check out all of these great images.
My personal favorites are the ones of the horrifying librarian being prepped for the shoot, as well as the work on Slimer and the hell dogs.

bitmaps?! can you get any slower!?
I fear for this third movie like a lot of people over the 25 years of age would. The movies we saw as kids are being remade or continued on with by the studios for no other reason than the almighty dollar. Add the fact that CGI has grown leaps and bounds since the 1980’s and you get studios that cut corners everywhere and think that the CGI will fill in the blanks. Sadly it just dosn’t work that way. The best CGI in the world can’t save a bad script. I’ll try to hope for the best but with the latest re-makes and sequels/prequels of our childhood movies it just dosn’t look good.
