They are finally making a Ghostbusters game for the Next Gen Consoles and I am all types of excited. It going to be a sequel to the 2nd movie and will be in the 90s time period. All of the Main Ghostbusters (Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis) and some of the supporting actors (William Atherton, Annie Potts) are signed on. So they will look and sound like their movie counterparts.
Terminal Reality is handle the PC, 360, and PS3 versions. While Red Fly Studio will be developing the PS2, Wii, and DS versions. Which worries me a bit. Terminal Reality has make the crappy Æon Flux, BloodRayne & Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run and Red Fly hasn’t even made a game before. Then again, the game would have to be pretty damn crappy for me not to like them. The joys of seeing thru rose colored fan glasses. All of the games are scheduled to be released in Fall of 2008. While you wait, be sure to check out the new website.
Buffy’s Spike Starring in Dragon Ball Movie
James Marsters, who played Spike the vampire on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has signed on to play bad guy Piccolo in the upcoming Dragon Ball Z movie. Justin Chatwin, Tom Cruise’s son in War of the Worlds, will face off against Marsters as hero Goku.
Stephen Chow, director of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, will produce the DBZ flick while X-Files writer/Space Above & Beyond co-creator James Wong will direct. The nerd cred is strong with this one.
The Dragon Ball movie is set to begin filming later this year, and be released next summer.
While I not the biggest DBZ fan, this is pretty cool. Good to see James Marsters getting work. Also they have some good people working on it. It might be pretty good.

Ghost Rider Creator Sues Marvel and Sony for Making Crappy Movie
Well you don’t see this every day. Gary Friedrich, creator of the Ghost Rider comic book character, issuing Marvel Enterprises, Sony Pictures Entertainment and the film’s other partners for copyright infringement and for “failing ‘to properly utilize and capitalize’ on the Ghost Rider character”. Friedrich, who wrote the first story involving Johnny Blaze and his fiery alter-ego back in 1968, claims that in 2001 the copyright reverted back to him and not only have Marvel and Sony failed to compensate him, but they also have damaged the value of his property by “by failing to properly promote and protect the characters”.
Well, I kind of agree with him on that last point, in the sense that the movie made Ghost Rider a laughing stock (although to be fair, Ghost Rider is a pretty ridiculous character to begin with). The thing is, it sounds like Friedrich believes the movie actually should have made a lot more money than it did. I don’t think he realizes that it generated more bank than it ever deserved to (approx. $214.6 million worldwide). He should just be happy if he manages to get even a tiny piece of that pie!
