Good morning Phoenix!
It’s finally Friday, so it’s time once again for an edition of Friday
Flicks.
Today’s choice opens in theaters today – the remake of
Ghostbusters. Let’s see if it is as good
as the original.
Plot: Following a
ghost invasion of Manhattan, paranormal enthusiasts Erin Gilbert and Abby
Yates, nuclear engineer Jillian Holtzmann, and subway worker Patty Tolan band
together to stop the otherworldly threat.
Trivia:
·
The movie is dedicated to Harold Ramis, as
mentioned in the final credits.
·
Even though the movie is set like the original
in New York City, most of the filming of the movie is being done on locations
in and around Boston. These locations include Chinatown in Boston, Easton and
the old Southfield Airbase in Weymouth Massachusetts. The set at Southfield was
set out as a NY city street complete with street lights, lots of green screens
and the focal point being a two story structure with a office building feel to
it.
·
In an interview with 'Den of Geek', Paul Feig
revealed that the first cut of the movie was 4 hours and 15 minutes long.
·
Original cast members - Bill Murray, Dan
Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Sigourney Weaver and even Harold Ramis all
have cameos in the movie. Early on in the movie a female version of Ramis can
be seen in the form of a bronze bust in the hallway outside Kristen Wiig's
office. Aykroyd confirmed a cameo appearance on his Facebook and Twitter pages,
although the post was later deleted. Hudson and Weaver's cameos were confirmed
by director Paul Feig on Twitter, after the first two cameos leaked to the
press. Rick Moranis was also offered a chance to cameo, but declined.
·
Harold Ramis 'appears' in 'cameo' as a bronze
bust outside Erin Gilbert's office.
Goofs:
·
If you look closely, when they show the second
shot of the outside of the Chinese restaurant/Ghostbusters base of operation,
you can see the Ecto in the garage...this is before they even got the car from
Patty.
Only one goof has been reported so far – if you go to see it
and find other goofs, let us know.
Have a fangtastic Friday, and get sweaty! <3 Brock V"""V
