What I don't want to see is the next trailer released on release day like Bill and Ted. Two trailers, almost nothing until it launched on digital. I haven't seen it but I plan to this or next weekend.

[Alphagaia]

Bill & Tedd was a mostly digital release. That's why they released a trailer when it was available. To raise awareness.

GBA will be different as they want people reserving seats since it releases in cinemas so the awareness / trailer will air before release.

Yesterday I received the Spengler Neutrona Wand.

I swear, I nearly cried.

The first, real, tangible piece of merchandise from a movie I waited since the Ghostbusters came down the museum stairs covered in slime.

[Alphagaia]

They are popping up in the Netherlands as well. We aren't a big country. I live dead smack in the middle of it.

Annny minute now.

Pretty cool picture of Adam Savage on the set of Ghostbusters: Afterlife with Alessandro Ongaro (visual fx supervisor)

[Davideverona]

What is Adam Savage doing?

[Alphagaia]

Guy probably wants an rematch after losing that epic rap battle.





Edit: I just realized Winston isn't on that title card. Man, even on parodies the guy can't catch a break.

[Hairy Biker]

Just conjecture on my part:
I think Adam may have built or designed something for the film.
Jason Reitman had visited his shop last year where its said they filmed something and recently in Adams Tested videos I have spotted multiple Proton Pack parts and Ghost Traps around his shop.
Also last year Adam post a photo of small pack parts suggesting he was building one.
When the film got pushed back all that tie in stuff must have been put on hold.


I'd also say that photo might be a Tested visit. They've done a series of set visit videos on Blade Runner 2049 and Alien: Covenant in the past so maybe they did the same with Afterlife.

Agreed! But where'd you find it. Noticed the image link has 'amazon' in it - is it from a magazine or something?

No, it's from IMDB.

Huhn. Interesting. Thanks!

EDIT: I suppose the question is is this the Alberta farmhouse or is this the farmhouse on the sound stage. If I recall, the sound stage farmhouse was where Breznican visited and got to wear a pack (the Vanity Fair article posted back in January). It seems like the former so this could have taken around late August 2019.

[deadderek]

My money is the picture is from the "real" deal. I doubt that's from a stage.

[timeware]

I saw the Mythbusters in person a few years ago. They warned if you see us running in one direction you better follow or something like that. If they show Adam running from a ghost and a crowd following him i'd be laughing my ass off.

Yeah this is a set visit for TESTED methinks. Adam Savage use to work in visual effects as a model maker and miniature builder, he worked at ILM & a couple other places. He’s probably interviewing about the practical sets and effects used in the film.

By the way. Just a box office update. TENET is doing extremely well all things considered. It made about 20 million over the weekend, despite playing in a relatively small number of theatres. It’s also doing very well internationally, with a haul of about 150 million. I think Hollywood has to see these numbers and thank the movie gods. This shows people will go see a movie that they really want to see. Keep in mind that TENET is not a franchise film, not a sequel, doesn’t have major box office stars(Robert Pattinson is quite a few years removed from Twilight). The only thing it has going for it is the name of the director. Under regular circumstances before COVID I had TENT with an opening weekend of about 68-75 million in a 4,500 screen run. It opened instead to about 2,800. When you consider that the labour day weekend is historically the lowest grossing time of the year, this has to be seen as a positive.

So, yeah, these are all EXCELLENT signs. We are only in September right now so a lot can happen between now & March but anyone worried about the prospects of not seeing GBA on the big screen should take solace in these numbers.

I'm really hoping it's for Tested. Adam's multi-part series of interviews/set visits are REALLY cool and pretty in-depth. I'm hoping we get something along those lines for GBA.

He is entitled to due process, but Adam Savage isn't someone that I'd want to associate myself with at the moment given his sister's allegations against him.

[TheLegendOfMart]

He is entitled to due process, but Adam Savage isn't someone that I'd want to associate myself with at the moment given his sister's allegations against him.

A sister with a history of making false allegations against him and his family. His family back him and there has been no further information about it and he hasn't been arrested.

I'm not saying we should disbelieve her but this kind of stuff shouldn't play out in the public eye. If he has done something horrendous like that then he deserves to rot in jail so let the police handle it.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

[Alphagaia]

I'm on the innocent until proven guilty on that one, buy yikes. Siblings can do weird things when they are young.

[deadderek]

Innocent until proven guilty. In the meantime let's keep this on topic.

[mrmichaelt]

I suppose worth noting here, at Bank of America’s 2020 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference, Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman Tony Vinciquerra said, "What we won't do is make the mistake of putting a very, very expensive $200 million movie out in the market unless we're sure that theaters are open and operating at significant capacity."

I was under the impression her claims were proven false and it all got dropped.

[deadderek]

That March release date is looking a whole lot better now isn't it?

Jason wants a full release & it looks obvious so does Sony themselves.

On a small thought, it seems lanyards on the Afterlife set were blue for production crew while they were red for....visitors? Press?

[Davideverona]

That's the real Spengler Neutrona Wand, right?

[Kingpin]

That's the real Spengler Neutrona Wand, right?

One of them, at any rate.

[Alphagaia]

It's to indicate who is on the reverted team.




Little Tenet joke for ya.

[timeware]

Finally some pics. I'm surprised the lanyards aren't attached to a giant Ghostbusters Logo.

On the Adam Savage thing I wish the media went by innocent until proven guilty for everyone, and politicians weren't hypocrites. in an ideal world unicorns would be real and fart rainbows.

[Kingpin]

As derek noted, let's get back on-topic, please.

[Dr.D]

Hate to be negative, but I have a sad feeling we are not going to see Afterlife released next March. The film industry is all over the place right now, and even the studios are having trouble figuring out how to move forward with big releases. However they may be framing stuff to the rest of the world, I can tell you the lot I am on is still an absolute ghost town.

[Kingpin]

I think we all thought things would've been more under control than they are... March seemed a possibility back when the delay was announced... But now that we're in the final quarter of the year... It seems more and more overly-optimistic.

[Dr.D]

Agreed. I think the other issue is audience reluctance. Let's say for the sake of argument that a vaccine is somehow ready for mass production and inoculation by late Jan-early Feb...the actual application of a vaccine is gonna take months to dole out to the masses (let's not forget there will absolutely be sectors of the population who won't get vaccinated), people won't be ready to climb back into a crowded theater. For as many people as there are who want things to just go back to normal, there are just as many who will never see things in that light again. So even in that scenario, March wouldn't be a good release target. I'd say by Halloween the movie will be delayed again. Maybe to the Holidays of 2021 just to keep it safe.
