In his private message to me, he said something along the lines of:
“I need to talk to (Chad) directly as there is an outstanding issue with an NDA agreement, so I will pass my work telephone number over to (Chad) if you can help”
I have no idea what these issues are as they weren't mentioned… so really it seems nobody knows, unless Iceman and Chad have talked, and I haven't heard anything from one or the other yet on if they've talked it through.
Hello Kingpin,
I will just inform you of where we are at this time.
I am still waiting to hear from Chad, however, I see no reason not to post the rest of the information now for your board members.
I cannot of cause name the original Ghostbusters who will be appearing as I have to clarify something over their NDA with Chad, but the following information is everything else that has been requested. If I have missed anything, (apart from the names of cause) please post here and I will do my best to answer you.
Before I do, I want to clear up a little misunderstanding everyone seems to have here. You posted on a thread that:
The guy'll be posting in the topic below this one… that's the one he started to try ‘fix’ damage caused by someone who seemed to be overexcited on his production team.
I want to make it perfectly clear that he was
nothing to do with me or our company. We were commissioned to do the special effects and nothing else. I suggest if any of your members are mad at the guy in question or want to vent their anger etc, that they direct themselves to the production company, Morguefridge, not me or anyone else. Also, over the Ghostbusters 3 Logo, again, I am nothing to do with that. I did put it to the director at Morguefridge that according to one of your board members, they did not give permission to use the logo. However, anyone with an interest in the GB3 logo should email them directly, as they are under the impression that permission was given to use it.
At the end of the day, I am only doing what I was asked to do in good faith, so it is pointless calling me a liar over GB3 as I am nothing to do with the filming of it, except for the special effects.
One last point to
everyone who is or has contacted Sony.
It is no good asking Sony if they have a contract with me, (as I am nothing to do with it) or if there is a contract current in the UK. The contract was bought originally by an entrepreneur developer based in Edinburgh. I am told that after the rights were purchased from Sony, that Morguefridge took over production on behalf of the backer. So if you do contact Sony please get your information correct.
Now the information I can give you before I talk to Chad.

Let me take this opportunity to wish all the boards members the very best with their own fan films, and if some of you can get down to the filming, I look forward to meeting you there.
