Don't know where to post it … (*winston) 2 new minutes!



Who ya gonna call? Surrounded by buzz of a third big-screen outing, not to mention a highly anticipated new video game version out this month, ‘Ghostbusters’ is officially making the leap to Blu-ray, and we've got a behind-the-scenes look at one of the disc's extras!
Ecto-1, the Ghostbusters' infamous ride, was resurrected and refurbished for this special occasion, and Dan Aykroyd details the origins of the film's signature 1959 Cadillac.
“Looking the way it did with the logo on the side, you had to smile; you had to laugh, so it achieved what we wanted it to right away,” says Dan. "It kind of looks a bit clown car, and we did have some great clowns in the picture."
Out June 16, ‘Ghostbusters’ on Blu-ray includes some fun, all-new exclusive special features, including “Slimer Mode” – a picture-in-picture graphical viewing experience with an examination of the spook-hunters' firehouse headquarters, an in-depth exploration of the creatures in the ‘Ghostbusters’ mythology, behind-the-scenes discussions of making the movie, new cast, crew and special effects artists interviews and much more. Other features include filmmaker commentary with director Ivan Reitman, co-writer/co-star Harold Ramis and producer Joe Medjuck, storyboard comparisons, 1984 making-of featurette with cast and crew interviews, and 10 deleted scenes!

Normally I do, but this is just a little find I wanted to share “clown car” is a Dan quote (watch the vid) - I think it's the first time I heard this description :-)

Hope they fixed it up better than that crap job they did in '05

Seeing as all the chrome sparkles instead of being covered in silver paint, and they even got the interior non-essential panels lighting up again, it's definitely more significant then the “spit-shin” 2005 restoration.

A shame though that the cowls don't flash any more.
