That’s what I was hoping the score would be like! So pumped!

When the "spooky" notes from when Venkman's trying to clean the slime off of his hands while in the Library basement kicked in...

Definitely digging the direction the score's going in.

I swear to god if this movie quotes Randy Edelman’s hero theme just once…I’ll die happy. Just as a knowing wink from the filmmakers to the fans to be like “yeah. We got you. You’re in good hands”. I’ve always loved that theme. I know some people don’t think it works having such a heroic theme for the GB’s, but I do. The juxtaposition of these schlubby guys getting this awesome Superman-esq theme. Lol.

Ghostbusters 2 really is a very different looking and sounding movie from the first film. The first one feels like this gritty New York movie, the grainy cinematography, the crassness. You feel it. Then the 2nd film feels much more like this corporate thing. It’s clean, better sets, bright lights. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE GB2. But they are very different films from an aesthetic stand point. I actually quite enjoy the GB2 cinematography & sets. The first film has this feeling of being held together by duct tape, ya know? We can see wires, matte lines, ,light bulbs. The 2nd film there’s none of that. Which is funny because both films cost a lot of money. The first films budget is huge for the time.

As for the score? I like what I hear. Clearly they are going for the Elmer Bernstein vibe, quoting the Ecto plasm music from the first film.

3 more months ladies & gents. Blink & it’ll be here. We have 3 months for the box office to hopefully start showing signs of life. The first big test is going to be James Bond. No digital home version available at the same time. The problem seems to be the 2ND weekend. Some films do alright opening weekend and then seem to just plummet on the 2nd weekend.

3 months.

Cute. Still can't find the mallows or the cereal. Wonder if Universal's going to do something mini puft related for Halloween Horror nights this year?

Hasbro's GB site has been updated with listings and demo videos of toys.

Snippet of the score in this how-to video.

Love it. Fits right in there.
There is definitely a hint of the gremlin score hidden in there at the beginning at around 12 seconds. Love the familiar eerie bits and boops they incorporated at the end.

What did they use again for that? Was it the same instrument that was used for the Star Trek score? I forgot.

I believe Bernstein really used the ondes martenot a lot for the GB1 score. All I remember from Trek was the opening Klingon scene with the angklung. Not sure if Goldsmith used the martenot, too.

[Alphagaia]

O yeahhhh, that's how you call that thing. Love it.

[robbritton]

O yeahhhh, that's how you call that thing. Love it.

I like how it's mostly known nowadays for Radiohead and Ghostbusters. Doesn't help with believing the world doesn't revolve around my interests, mind.

[groschopf]

They discuss the martenot a little in this episode of the Soundtrack Show, which fans of the Elmer Bernstein score should listen to.

Nice to hear the Yamaha DX7 at the very beginning too. Real Ghostbusters staple that you don't really notice until you hear it in a different context.

The key notes from this discussion are quite littarly the key notes. Just, pointing that out here.

Jason said this film was to be unwrapped like a gift, and he wasn't kidding. The teaser, the two trailers, the mini-puft clip, and now this snippet from the score - all of it hits just right.

[Dr.D]

From thirty two years down to just 92 days. We're getting into the home stretch, and I feel like I'm only getting more excited.

Goddamn, man... It doesn't feel real.

I'm hoping that the Warner Brothers decision to stop putting their movies on HBO Max same day leads to some positive box office results over the next 3 months. I was really worried when I saw the earnings for opening weekend of The Suicide Squad. I know all the major studios were looking at that in conjunction with Delta, and it did not go well. Which is a shame, that movie is pretty fantastic.

Afterlife being a theater exclusive is a good thing in my opinion. And maybe the metric is slightly different for that reason. But unfortunately, we're in the fallout phase for studios' pivot in the Covid Era. And I know a $180 million movie only earning $70 something million worldwide on opening weekend has the studios nervous.

Long story short, let's just hope this movie doesn't get another postponement.

[Bison256]

I don't think the movie theaters or the studios can afford anymore delays or shutdowns. So I'm hoping they wont.

Visible on Facebook… Filming with Wrecto at LA Fire Sation 23??!!!

One can only hope! Haha

Someone on facebook has uploaded some photos. No indication of when they were taken.

That's a lot to take in. If its for a promo, I would think there would be easier ways to achieve that. Who knows though.

I liked the theory that it's for

[Ectojeff88]

Regardless what it’s for, seeing that car at that fire station after so many years just gave me a fresh shiver down my spine!

[Alphagaia]

I like the theory that's it's for the sequel.

Surprise! We are almost ready shooting it!





A man can dream....
Go away reality! Stop it! Stop dragging me back!

[deadderek]

It's beyond annoying to just drop photos like that online with no context but damn it is good to see.

[GaudinosWheels]

So for this to make sense, surely the Wrecto needs to be parked inside the firehouse right?

[Alphagaia]

Yes. But they also have to physically drive it inside before they can start the shoot.

[GaudinosWheels]

Walked in to that one didn’t I?

[GaudinosWheels]

Wow - another spoiler photo been uploaded. It’s to do with the firehouse stuff we’ve just seen.

Don’t know how to create a spoiler tag but it’s on those Facebook groups if you are interested.

[deadderek]

Holy.Shit.

Ha I was just about to post that.


Looks like we are going back to the firehouse at some point.

[Michael Scott]

Whoa! They’d have that type of thing wrapped in something to move it inside if they truly wanted to keep it secret, right? It’s in broad daylight in LA!
