"Have you or any of your family been diagnosed schizophrenic?"

I've taken a hint from all of your e-mails asking the same questions to open up this area on GBHQ known as the GB FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). I will post the answers to the most commonly asked questions about the Ghostbusters and all related eliments here on this site. If you don't see the answer to your question on this page or anywhere else on GBHQ, who ya gonna call? If you're a frequent visitor, please click here to see the latest updates.

 

Q. When will Ghostbusters 3 be released in theathers?

A. Right now, I can't give you a date/time... but I can say 2001 or 2001

 

Q. What will happen to Dana in Oscar in the new movie?

A. Difficult to say. But assuming that Ghostbusters 3 keeps to the same timeline as Ghostbusters 2; Oscar would be around nine years old (as of 1998) so it's not likely that he'll suit up as a Ghostbuster. Secondly, Dana and Peter will supposedly be married in the new film(s) but if Bill Murray doesn't sign a contract, then it's pointless to include Dana.

 

Q. Will you sell me some of your Ghostbusters stuff?

A. No. And please do not e-mail me asking if I'll sell you something, because I won't and can't. If you are looking to buy some merchandise, please check out my Merchandise page. It has links to online sites that sell RGB toys.

Q. Can I use (insert name of graphic or info here) on MY website?

A. I have gone through hours of work on GBHQ and it kills me to see people just take all my stuff and use it on their page. Some of the items on this page are copyrighted by one of my employers; the PANGEA Toy Network and using them would be a breach of copyright laws to which they own rights. So make sure that you e-mail me and ask first, or it'll be big-time trouble.

Q. Will there be more *new* Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon shows? I'm sick of seeing repeats?

A. Unfortunatly, all that you will be able to see is repeats, because the show has been terminated from Sony/Columbia's new show line-up. So if I were you, watch the repeats and tape them while you still can.

Q. I've heard that Columbia Tri-Star Home Video will be releasing Ghostbusters I on DVD (Digital Video Disc). Is there any truth to this?

A. Yes, in fact Ghostbusters was supposed to be one of the very first discs that Columbia was going to release. But, for some unexplained reason (and I'm still researching it) they decided to move it back to a "TBA" (To Be Announced) date. The disc will be released sometime this Spring and will be in the original theatrical ratio (commonly called Letterbox) and will feature a digitally remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. The disc should retail for around $19.99.

Update: The Disc has been released and is available in all retail chains.

Q. Will the ghost of Chris Farley be in the new Ghostbusters movie?

A. You would be amazed at how many times I get asked this ridiculous question. And it actually makes me chuckle a bit because it was rumored that the ghost of Jim Belushi would be in the first Ghostbusters film. Try to remember people, Ghostbusters is fiction, no matter how much we want it to be real, Dan Aykroyd can't conjure up the ghost of Chris Farley. Besides, I don't think that the Screen Actors Guild considers ghosts in it's union anyhow.

Q. Can I get a part in the new Ghostbusters movie(s) or even get a walk-on extra role?

A. Um, well... since you're asking me and not Sony Pictures- and chances are that you don't have an agent or you wouldn't be asking me this question. Then I would have to say no.

V.1.1

Q. If Ivan Reitman won't be in GB3, who will play Egon?

A. Um... all of you would really be surprised how many times that I am asked this question, and the answer is that you just have everything all mixed up. Ivan Reitman is the director/producer of the first Ghostbusters films. You're confusing him with Harold Ramis who played Egon.

Q. Will Mark Hamil be in the new Ghostbusters movie(s)?

A. It's been rumored that Mr. Luke Skywalker may step in as the mayor of New York City, but the only problem is that all the casting and contracting hasn't been finished on the new film, so there's no way to confirm or deny this question. Sorry.
