I don't do a constant flow of entertainment news anymore, indeed I've taken great pains to whittle that shit down to next to nothing, but these two items seem relevant to two of the three franchises I do do updates on...
Ghostbusters World (2018)
An augmented reality phone game.
Basically, it's Ghostbusters "Pokemon Go".
It's supposedly going to merge franchises by having every ghost from every scrap of Ghostbusters media.
Movies, comics, other games, toys, and even theme park attractions.
Right in that poster, you've got that purple eyeball thing that was a toy, next to him, you've got Slimer, and the Sandman from the cartoons, above Slimer, you've got Gertrude Aldridge from "Answer The Call".
And....I dunno who those other two are....
Anyhoo, movies, cartoons, and toys are represented just in the poster.
Erik Burnham who draws the comics says he worked on it.
He's already incorporated the '09 game, and "Sanctum Of Slime", into the comic, so I bet this gets integrated.
Hell, I bet the "Ghostbusters 101", premise of ghostbusting students was a setup all along to canonize the players as characters.
Just my theory, anyway.
We'll see how this works its way into canon (or not), and if the game is a hit.
Hell, if they can make a fucking Emoji movie, then why can't this be a nudge towards the GB animated film?
Again, we'll see.
Oh, and y'know those Solo posters?
Totally stolen from album art.
The artist is lawyering up, and I think he's got an open and shut case.
Disney better hurry the fuck up, and release their Drew Struzan style one already.
And never use that poster making company again.
Both of these are pretty old news by now, but I wanted to time capsule it for later.
Might be handy.
Anyway, that's those.
