Hank Braxtan found one of my posts on Ghostbusters.net the other day and replied with an interest in having us promote the premiere of his upcoming fan film, ‘Return of the Ghostbusters’. Perhaps you've heard of it, maybe?

ahem

Anyway, after some discussion, he popped the question of whether or not we'd be interested in joining the army of fans and extras he's put into the movie as cameos.

Of course the answer was yes.

So down in Denver today Hank shot us in street clothes pointing, screaming, and running away from the creatures appearing everywhere during one of the chaotic montages. With a little luck we'll be stuck in there with Secrecy Guy and bunch of others.

Then we suited up and posed with the car to be put into the end Expanding Franchise montage.

We also got to see some scenes from the movie, most notably the chaos montage, which is pretty much this movies version of the “containment unit exlposion and ghosts everywhere” montage.

It. Was. Incredible. Seriously, the effects of this film are better than all the effects shots in both of the original Ghostbusters movies. CG monsters, corpses waiting for buses, scary glowing dragons twisting around skyscrapers, wide helicopter shots of downtown Denver being blown up and ravaged by nasty creatures.

This fan film will be astonishing.

Freaking awesome!



Oye look! Hank, Jason(Neil), Tim(Ed Spengler), and the very very cool villain, Ron(Konstantin).


Anthony, Hank, Jason, Austin, Shauna, me, Tim, and Ron. Cool cast, apparently this picture was taken while a nuclear explosion was going off in the background, we think.

Cool!

Yea, that's pretty sweet.

…..I really don't have any response to that. I mean, I thought of being snide or reasonable… but fuck dude, what you said is just retarded.

He was back in colorado filming pick-up shots… you know the little fiddly bits. I saw some clips of the film and the overall film quality, especially the effects, is better than the original films.

It's astonishing, and he's doing it for free. Perhaps if you paid him some money he'd hurry up and finish it, it's unbelievable that he is making you, of all people, wait for his film. That's just RUDE!

No need to call name now. His reply was just what he meant: he thought (and ALL of us thought this from the reports) that all filming was done. Now we find it isn't. It might delay things, you don't know that but hopefully it won't. These tidbit shots shouldn't slow it down as they are waiting for the shots to be put in to fill time, but who knows it may do it if the shots don't mix and then have to do them again. That is what he meant so don't call names and insult, read and think about things first.

Maybe Boomer didn't phrase it in the best possibile way, but his point's valid. It's not like there was ever a set date and that this new stuff has suddenly delayed it… to be honest I didn't even know what status it was in… all I knew was I'd see it once it was out.

There's plenty of stuff on and offline to occupy the time between now and the official release.

Very awesome Boomer. Love the group photo. So are we gonna see much of your Ectomobile in this movie?

Hopefully at the end of the movie!

I finished building my car literally a matter of days after Hank finished principal photography.

yep. hmmm should I make it more clearer? Well ok. I know that filming + effects takes a long while to do. It's just, from what I read on the Braxtan Forums, that Hank is almost done with editing the final film. Well, this was some months ago so I would think it should be done already. Then, this post pops up now, so I am just a little confused of where the movie progress is. So when I think the editing is almost done, I thought Hank would've gotten all the shots already. See my thinking? My post was not to insult anyone or whatever, I didn't even think of doing it..
