Fake? Ghostbusters 3 site sets me up for a fall
XYU | 5:38 AM on 01.09.2009 13 comments




Oh how I’ve dreamt of a Ghostbusters 3… I’ll be picking up the new Ghostbusters game for sure. But the movie is what I'm really waiting for.

So, First we got word some writers from “The Office” were penning Ghostbusters 3, then Bill Murray revealed his renewed love for the Peter Venkman character after recording dialogue for the Ghostbusters game. (as long As GB3 has Bill Murray I’m happy)

So finally it may actually be happening.

Then I see this; apparently the site “Ghostspy” claims to have footage from the set of Ghostbusters 3, and also a CGI video of a huge garbage monster, which I’m pretty sure I remember from The Real Ghostbusters animated series.

Also they claim to have pictures of the new proton packs…Which, if real, I am NOT happy with. (They look like they've been designed by Apple) iPacks?

There seems to be an awful lot of pictures and information for a fake site and the videos do show a large production crew in New York...but I remain highly sceptical on the legitimacy of Ghostspy.

Anyhow, check out the site here HERE

What are your thoughts? This site must be fake, right? If those are the new proton packs, how do you feel about them?

Wow! Yeah, whereever you're now set up to fall from, I'm right up there with you!

Like you say - there's a lot of stuff there for a fake site, but the 'iPack' could be a homemade mod and the taxi getting crushed could be from the set of any number of films...

Speaking of the 'iPack'; I like it, if the Ghostbusters are more legit and successful nowadays it makes sense for them to have better gear. But I draw the line at a 'Pimp My Ride'-style Ecto 1...

Seems pretty legit to me. It would have to be quite an elaborate hoax.

@Ronburgandy - I agree it does seem legit, I just dare not jump on board it's claims of authenticity, only to be kicked in the Winstons when it turns out this was some elaborate internet prank.

Damn you internet....damn you.

Xyu,

Your every word now enters my head in a Welsh accent. It's beautiful.

I hope this is true, so bad!

Shit. Imagine that dude's leg got caught in the car. I find that hard to watch.

Although, the
"hey, woah, what's this"
"nothing!"
bit seems set-up to me. I think it could be true...

@CLANCE - The Welsh accent is indeed a precious gift and all we get in return is abuse for not being understood over XBL lol...

The great Welsh uprising of 2012 will put you ALL in your place >:)

...Iv'e already said too much..

As of now looking at the final post on that website (posted on Feb 13, 2009), it appears to be a spoof and European car commercial. It isn't really GB3. But it is pretty cool as a spoof/homage.
