[Chicken, He Clucked]

I'm always up for cash-grabs like behind-the-scenes books (so long as they're a decent effort rather than poorly pulled-together).

This is a real shot in the dark, but following the RGB re-reuns on Youtube and working on some of those 4K stills... I'd really love to work on a Real Ghostbusters: Visual History covering the series, original comics run and Kenner toys - compiling all the behind the scenes artwork (eg. @artofrgb has a formidable collection), detailed episode guide with Tobin's entries etc. to complement the film version.

There were a few videogame unofficial 'Visual History' books on Kickstarter a few years ago and they seemed to be able to use artwork though I guess the copyrights are a sticky area. You'd hope Sony would get behind such a project. Would make another excellent coffee table book. And apologies if I've posted about this before, it's something which has been in the back of mind for a while now so I keep putting it out there in the hope other fans might wanna collaborate, though ultimately we'd need the right connections for such a project and I'm not even sure what those connections would look like.

Given the threat of the delta variant, I'm not overly convinced that the November date will hold. I hope I am wrong.

With that said, I came across this video about a fellow Ghosthead that has terminal cancer:


If you have Twitter, please share the video and tag Ghost Corp, Dan Aykroyd, Jason Reitman, etc. It would be nice to try and help this guy see GB:A.

The current vaccine works against the Delta variant. Vaccinated people only have the symptoms of a minor cold if that. Given all the folks wanting to return to a normal life plus corporate greed, I don't see the movie being pushed back again.

Everything I have read thus far agrees with that assessment, however over the last 18 months or so, I've learned that what is true today is not true tomorrow. I've already heard that certain parts of Australia are in lockdown again. If that trend continues, it could result in more delays. I don't think Sony is going to release a film that cannot be released worldwide.

With regard to a second trailer.... assuming the November date does hold, the San Diego Comic Con is happening online this year in late July, so maybe that July 26 rumor on reddit is true.

From what I can tell, I'm the first person who floated the July 26th theory on GBFans about 3 weeks ago. It makes a lot of sense.

I'm no longer a facebook user, is there anywhere else I can view these new detailed Wrecto pics?

True, but studios are relying less and less on SDCC. But given the virtual aspect this year, it could happen. More eyeballs than usual focusing on a virtual con would be a good time to show off the trailer #2. But I still like them choosing a '4 months to go' date like late night July 11/early morning July 12.

[deadderek]

My July 26th guess had nothing to do with the con.

Quick recap:

1. Sony likes dropping trailers on Mondays.
2. Amazon sent me an email, a TON of GBA stuff drops August 1st.
3. Later summer for a trailer sounds about right.

Thus my prediction.

^I deleted the wrong part of the quote. Meant to quote JonXCTrack. My bad.

[Michael Scott]

Anybody else feel like they went a little overboard with the equipment labeling?

[timeware]

Is that a trap door for the RTV in the middle of the floor? It would be really freaking awesome to see it drop to the road while they are driving. I'm sensing some serious Knight Rider vibes if it works out that way. It would be awesome as hell to see the RTV drive itself into it's own charging station in the Ecto.

[Alphagaia]

Yeah, the (LEGO) toys already showed it was possible for them to deploy the trap while driving (and shooting from the gunner seat).

Anyway, this folding chair seems new. Wonder why they did that?

[mrmichaelt]

I take it the Culver City security discourages people from lying on their backs under the car and taking photos of the underside.

It's not actually new per se, it's just a reconfiguration of an existing element of the 1959 Miller Meteors. The rear cabin of the car is outfitted with a pair of folding jump seats beside the passenger-side rear door.

No problem.

That disagreement in the posts I've just deleted should've been taken to the private messages, not aired in this topic for everyone to see.

[deadderek]

Glad to see mods cleaning up the thread.

I have to remind myself not to bust out the wallet for anything Afterlife related, but I want one of these blankets. Would make a great camping blanket.

The Hallmark Ecto-1+RTV keepsake ornament releases on July 23 for SDCC.

Those ornaments look cheaply made. Not enough detail on the car. I guess you can only do so much at that price and scale.

[BatDan]

You know theres a shortage of content when they release behind the scenes of how t shirts are made…

(Dont get me wrong, its great those artists are getting exposure..but..yeesh. )

It doesn't help it's just a retooled version of their previous Ecto-1 ornament:

[timeware]

Either way good luck finding one without jacked up prices. Anything that has SDCC attatched to it means license to scalp.

If Wrecto was indeed supposed to be 1A in a previous generation I feel that at the least the satellite dish or some aspect would still be present.

Gah! Sorry for the miss there. I meant to reach out to the OP on Facebook and get his permission to share his photos. Life interceded.

Thank you to deadderek to getting those looped in here!

That in itself is like the souvenir's prehensile tail leftover, it seems the originating ornament was based on the very inaccurate Joyride model (which also had 1A's dish):

Which is funny, because originally Joyride was going to put out the Ecto-1A first, but things changed and they never released a 1A.

Thats it. Haven't seen that pic in a long time. Thanks for having it.

So the "Family Size" boxes of the cereal are coming in August according to General Mills.

Ugh...time to grab another box.

[SpaceBallz]

Maybe it's safe to say that the marketing for the movie will finally start in August?

That's what I think it most likely. Hopefully my prediction comes trues for Trailer 2. If not....what other date makes sense?
