Concept art of Ghostbusters at Universal Studios Dubailand revealed!

Yeah. Dubailand. A giant (they don’t do small in Dubai) Universal Studios in Dubai is in the works, with the official website talking about rides such as Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure and Revenge of the Mummy, and park attractions such as Waterworld and The Blue Brothers. Basically stuff you’d expect in a Universal Studios.

Now, via the website of someone working on the project in some capacity, come a series of art concepts, including the New York Zone… complete with Ghostbusters firehall! Now word on whether the park will incorporate anything similar to the old Universal Studios shows or having an Ecto-1 driving around the park. Honestly, from what I can make from the website that reported the concept art, the project that started four years ago hit a financial bump, but may or may not be back on track. And if it does get made, you still have to go to Dubai to see it. But hey… still so cool.

Sony announces 4X better resolution remaster of Ghostbusters!

With a wash of new 4K TVs at CES this past month (think of 4K as super HD, at roughly four times the resolution of a Blu-ray), people started asking what the hell they could watch on them. Sony jumped up quick to announce they were working on a host of 4K titles, from the recently wrapped five seasons of Breaking Bad to older titles in the catalog, including Ghostbusters.

With 50 models of 4K TVs shown at the Consumer Electronics Show this year, it looks like a decent gamble and if it pays off, Ghostbusters fans will get home video version of Ghostbusters that is basically equal (if not slightly better than) the theoretical resolution of the 35mm negative.

S’up to Tyler Foster for the tip!
