‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Introduces Chubby, Adorable, “Muncher”

Published

on

Ghostbusters

Who else is dying to see Ghostbusters: Afterlife? I’m a Ghostbuster fool who will suffer all fools if need be. I love all things GB equally. Yep, sorry guys. I even dug the 2016 film. Don’t kill me! I’m just into GB gear and the ghosts and the whole dang world built around them. I was probably the only dude in the theater losing his mind over a Proton pistol used by Kate McKinnon in the later moments of the film. These reasons are why I’m losing my damned mind over the new ghost we were introduced to last week. His name is Muncher. He is blue and chubby and awesome.

The peek at Muncher came about during MasterChef Junior: Spain. The segment featured a look at the Ecto-1 and our new little blue ectoplasm filled Muncher.

This whole thing tracks considering we also know that we are receiving Hostess Twinkies that are themed to Ghostbusters: Afterlife. They are filled with blue cream to mimic the ectoplasm. Muncher obviously is a nostalgic thread from the same place that Slimer came from. Both of them being chubby focused, non terminal repeating phantasm class 5 full-roaming vapors.

The official synopsis goes like this:

“When a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.”

The peeks we have seen so far of Ghostbusters: Afterlife have not featured many ghosts. Well, none really outside of fast moving little dude that the kiddos are chasing down Summerville’s main street in the Ecto-1.

The fact that we would have already seen Ghostbusters: Afterlife if it weren’t for COVID drives me crazy. But, hey at least we will be receiving the film in the fall. It definitely feels like a fall type film. The newest release date is set for November 11 and we are hoping they stick to that. The only thing better would slightly better is if it would get bumped up to Halloween.

What do you guys think about Muncher? Let us know in the comments section.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
