Kumail Nanjiani: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is Just a “Long episode” of a Forgotten Animated Series
“The Ghostbusters” 1984 brought together a team of eccentric scientists who became New York City’s protectors from the paranormal. The film was a huge critical as well as commercial success. Back in that era, the movie had a worldwide gross of $295 Million.

Four decades later, the film’s success has transitioned into a franchise with five movies, two television shows, and a bunch of video games. The latest in the series is “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” which features an ensemble cast including Kumail Nanjiani, who compared the movie with 80s animated show “The Real Ghostbusters”.

The 1980s was a golden era for TV animation. It was the decade of Thundercats, Inspector Gadget, Transformers, Ducktales, The Smurfs, He-Man and The Masters of the Universe, Care Bears, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Yet arguably, the best of them all was The Real Ghostbusters.
The show arrived at a time when studios were eager to translate box office gold into something palatable for younger audiences. It didn’t always quite go to plan, of course, as short-lived and ill-advised animated incarnations of everything from Rambo to The Karate Kid can attest.
But The Real Ghostbusters was different, running for 140 episodes across seven seasons.
It was a little different from the film. For one thing, the title had to be tweaked due to a dispute with Filmation, who was making an animated version...

The director and surviving stars revisit the groundbreaking supernatural comedy in an enjoyably geeky documentary
If you’re a Ghostbusters superfan – and, for heaven’s sake, who isn’t? – then this amiably celebratory documentary about the original film is going to be pretty watchable, although it could have been cut down to 20 minutes as a featurette to go on the DVD/Blu-ray edition.
There’s decent stuff here. The film enjoyably geeks out on the technical challenges involved in creating the ghosts, and there are nice interviews with director Ivan Reitman, veteran comedy producer Joe Medjuck and stars Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis (recorded before his death in 2014), Sigourney Weaver and Ernie Hudson. Unfortunately, no Bill Murray though. And another thing we don’t get is Ray Parker Jr’s legendary theme tune, presumably for copyright reasons.

It sounds almost too good to be true, but assuming that things keep according to schedule, fans from all over will be watching Ghostbusters 3 in a little more than a year. It’s hard to believe things have progressed this quickly, and it was only a few months ago that Sony Pictures released a brief teaser to hype everyone up. Of course, longtime devotees have been eagerly awaiting the next entry in the franchise (one which continues the ongoing story), and now, they’ll be able to relive the glory days of the ’80s, thanks to a limited edition re-release of the first two films.

Do you remember that very odd moment in a montage in the middle of Ghostbusters where it appears that Dan Ackroyd is having some kind of sexual encounter with a ghost floating above his bed? It’s been raising eyebrows ever since the film’s release, with fans of the movie poring over old scripts to try and figure out what it was intended for.
Now known as the “Fort Detmerring Ghost,” the scene consists of Ray and Winston investigating a haunting at an old military fort. Ray ends up trying on an old officer’s uniform, before a ghost appears and uh… well. Let’s just say “bustin’ makes you feel good.”
Long considered lost on the cutting room floor, the footage has now been located and is coming to a new Steelbook 4K/Blu-ray release, together with a plethora of neat special features.

Funded by film buffs Robert Stein, Aleen Stein and Joe Medjuck, the Collection has the upmost care for cinema history and its preservation, and directors know that, which is why some of the biggest names in cinema have worked with the company to have their films properly released, from Coppola to Scorsese, Lynch to De Palma, just to name a few.

A few weeks back we told you about Sony's intention to give a fully restored version of Ghostbusters a limited theatrical run to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Now they have released a trailer for this upcoming event, and while there is nothing "new" in the trailer it looks fantastic (unlike the first Ghostbusters Blu-ray release a few years ago).
Following the one week run, on September 16th, a new collector’s edition Blu-ray set of the 1st and 2nd movie will go sale. Both films are new 4k transfers, so they will look better than you have likely ever seen them. And of course there will be special features:

While the future of Ghostbusters may not be clear, nothing can take away from the greatness that is the first film. I vividly remember seeing the movie in the theater and being really freaked out by Sigourney Weaver levitating over the bed and I loved it.
That entire summer, the logo was everywhere. I mean you couldn’t go past an airbrush or iron on t-shirt vendor along the boardwalk without seeing something Ghostbusters related.
Now, airbrush t-shirts may not be coming back this summer but the film will be. To celebrate the 30th anniversary, Sony will be re-releasing Ghostbusters on 700 screens this August 29th.

I want to ask you a question. Do you really want to see "Ghostbusters 3"? Before you answer, I want you to consider every angle. I don't want the knee-jerk response, because I know what the knee-jerk response is, and so does Columbia, and so do Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman. The knee-jerk response is easy. After all, I love the original 1984 film "Ghostbusters," and I'm more than willing to cop to a fondness for the admittedly-lesser sequel. On the surface, the thought of more "Ghostbusters" is appealing. Undeniably so. I won't lie. When I was 21 or 22 years old, my writing partner Scott Swan and I had an elaborate written treatment for "Ghostbusters 3" that I was convinced I was somehow going to get in front of the right people. After all, when I was 21 and 22 years old, I had almost constant access to Joe Medjuck, Michael Gross, and Ivan Reitman...

As "American Hustle" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" come on strong at the end of the year, don't count out "Gravity" in the Oscar race. That's a movie that most people have already seen and liked. At the Warner Bros. holiday fete hosted by Sue Kroll at Lucques last week, packed with Academy members, most of them hadn't yet seen the late entries or such small films as "All is Lost." Frontrunner director Alfonso and his son and co-writer Jonas Cuaron, cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and the woman who gives her heart to the movie, Sandra Bullock, turned on the charm for over two hours with the likes of actor veterans Diane Baker and Jon Voight, writer Wesley Strick, producers Joe Medjuck, David Linde, Albert Berger, Michael Peyser, and Marcia Nasatir and directors Kimberly Peirce and Edgar Wright, who is finally ready to tackle Marvel's Ant Man, "one inch at a time.

Fox Searchlight Pictures has released this first look of Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in the upcoming drama Hitchcock (via People.com). Last week principal photography for Hitchcock started on April 13th in Los Angeles. I have to admit, with all the prosthetics on, the resemblance is remarkable.
