The Hollywood Detective has check-in with PC, saying that due to an increased workload for active TV and movies, the restoration company that restored the Ecto-1 has had to put work on the Ecto-1a aside until mid-May or June. The HD also confirms that the Ecto-1 is currently on the Sony lot, and it only has two confirmed events in the future – namely appearing at the San Diego Comic Con and a game launch event on the Sony lot.
Murray set to record game dialog this week
My pal Adrian at Kidz World Games pointed me in the direction of this blurb at Video Gaming 247 that talks briefly about getting Bill Murray involved in the game and that he’s recording his lines this week. Thanks Adrian!
New RGB DVDs coming?
Gord over at TV Shows on DVD has posted a tip that part of this fall’s Ghostbusters blitz may include a multi-disc DVD set. No details yet, other than the set will NOT be released by Sony. This makes one wonder if this might be Rhino underwriting the release, after they included RGB in a public poll of what properties they should look into releasing.
Thanks to Ryan LeClair, Ryan NotLeClair, Lee, and Gord.
Ghostbusters previews, 6 images, and music news.
The Sierra press party from earlier in April has seen its news black-out dropped, and there’s a flood of impressions. There’s a good look at Joystiq online, which also has 6 new images and a lot of notes on the Wii gameplay – these are repeated at most every other site. Kotaku has their impressions up as well.
One of the most interesting notes at Joystiq is that updated versions of the Ghostbusters theme were tested, but ultimately dropped in favour of the Ray Parker Jr original – or to put it as reported to Eurogamer, a crowd booed them when the idea was merely suggested. But that’s not all – apparently Terminal Reality has 75 minutes of music scored for the movie, but never used. One wonders how much of that overlaps with the sanctioned, limited edition film score released a couple of years back?
Other bits of news from the landslide – Terminal Reality states the obvious regarding the disparity between the latest next-gen machine and the previous, two year old console (this was reported by PSXextreme.com, hence the biased tone, one assumes.)
Thanks to Adam, et al. for the emails.
Contest Winners!
OK, I’m done! It took awhile to go through all the entries – everyone had some inspired picks, which makes me even happier that I opted to send consolation buttons to everyone who entered. There were a lot of like-minded thinking as well, which I’m going to play with in the coming days, just out of curiosity (which actor was named the most? Which actor was offered the most parts? etc.) And for fun, I’m going to mash-up the picks of the five winners – the results are odd, yet compelling. But right now, here are the winners of the Proton Charging / GBFans.com ID card contest – each of whom will get their very own PC/GBFans ID card.
