Ghostbusters Bill Murray Ada group commission

[JediMike71]

That sounds great. Let's just hope that it really happens this time! I thought the new Ghostbusters video game would be the closest we'd get to a Ghostbusters III movie! But now we will get the game, and then possibly a new third movie finally too!

Harold Ramis' E-Mail to the Chicago Tribune about the GB3 news:

"Yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my year one writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing year one and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. not much else to say at this point. everyone is confident a decent script can be written and i guess we'll take it from there.
best,
harold"

GB return!

Thanks Rick for that great news from Harold! He's also a great director, as well as a writer. I know rumors have flown around about possibly Steve Carrell, Seth Rogen and others that are associated with Judd Apatow being the "new" Ghostbusters in this movie. So, we'll see. I hope that they're smart about the casting. I'd love to see the original four Ghostbusters in the movie as mentors to the new young rookies! I'm really looking forward to the next-gen Ghostbusters game this fall too! I know I'll buy it for the Xbox 360!

Well sadly as the third movie goes foward the game goes into limbo.

"The Activision and Blizzard merger a couple months ago made one of the largest gaming companies in the world. With Blizzard came other Vivendi properties, including Sierra games, who earned their fame in PC point-and-click adventure series about a decade and a half ago. As part of the fold-in, Sierra dropped into the cracks, along with their scheduled games. They, of course, were going to be publishing the Ghostbusters video game. Since, Mark Randel, the head of developer Terminal Reality has assured fans the game is still on the way. Unfortunately, other signs are still against the game’s positive future.

Retailer Gamestop recently cancelled all pre-orders for every version of the game, offering customers a full refund or transfer to a different pre-order. The game is in fact no longer on their website or their list of upcoming games at all. It was scheduled to come out Halloween 2008, but had been reported as delayed to 2009 shortly after the merger"

The game is near completion so hopefully either Activision decides to pick up the Publishing rights or Terminal reality goes somewhere else either way it looks like for the moment the game isnt comming as soon as we'd all like.

If it were to be released now, you'd think they might hold it to co-incide with the release of new movie.

Hey WST...any news on the proton pack shipment from Nick?

Hey WST...any news on the proton pack shipment from Nick?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah! I gots them!
I boned the last friday deadline I was aiming for for getting everything ready. Sorry, guys!

Everything has been getting seperated, packed, and labeled this week, the heads AND the packs. Sorry for the delay, guys, I had to dig up some boxes and chase down some addresses I didn't have for the packs (around work which has been busy). Everything will be getting shipped off THIS friday (my day off) because I have so much to get sent out between the two.

Thank you for your patience!

SWEET!

 

[Cryoguns]

No problem man, just glad to hear the package made it stateside OK

It's worth remembering that next year is the 25th Anniversary of the 1st film so perhaps the game is being delayed until then so it can be released when there's a bigger buzz for it.

Any updates on shipping status?

Thanks,

Hey Spook! I actually updated just a few posts back. Everything's sent out and hopefully everyone domestic will have their goodies by the weekend and everyone else, not long after that!

I asked Storeroom if the reference was good and how the project was going. They responded by asking the quantities of how many uniforms and Alice packs we'd need.

This is going to be kinda hopeless because not everyone checks in to this thread very often.


Assume for convenience sake the outfits will come complete with belts/boots etc so the uniforms will all match. Also, obviously this is all tentative to the price we are finally quoted. They are just trying to get an estimate.

Please start posting your wants again from this thread on.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hey gang,
I just wanted to let everyone know there is going to be a change in my upcoming commissions soon, which will also be affecting our future Ghostbusters commissions here.

I'll be dropping my use of Ada as my sculptor and will instead be using Side Show Forums very own Mr. Chris Howes!

Ada has in the past turned out some exceptional heads for me but has atrocious business sense by competing with me in sales of the heads and other questionable ethics, and has the kind of QC everyone always needed to be weary about. I wasn't personally willing to switch however unless I found a sculptor who's work rocked me as much as her best efforts had, and in Chris, I most definitely have, and see a safer future there for us and future ventures.

Look for Chris to continue the Ghostbuster heads for us with Ackroyd on, my Doctor Who head commissions, and the Milla Jovovich commission I'm just starting up...

More details as they get banged out. Things like painting rates will be changing for sure. I'll let you know as I do.

I also sent out the tally's we had so far to Storeroom.com yesterday for how many Alice packs and uniforms we said we were interested in, so now we're just waiting to hear something back from them (again!)

So things are moving along and I hope to have more news for everyone soon!

 

[JediMike71]

Thanks Rick for the update. I know I have heard many stories about Ada's unprofessional work habits. I agree with you that a new sculptor is now needed. I haven't bought any Ghostbusters heads or gear from you yet, but I'm still VERY interested in this project, and will get everything someday soon.
