But, did you know making the movie was not easy? In fact, it almost didn’t get made.
Originally John Belushi and Eddie Murphy were slated to play two of the lead rolls and because of copyright problems the movie almost was not called Ghostbusters.
In A Convenient Parallel Dimension, by author James Greene, Jr. and Lyons Press, the whole history of the franchise is examined and traced.
The original Ghostbusters spawned a sequel, a revised movie with a female cast, an animated TV show and two updated movies with a whole new casts and appearances by most of the original cast. It also spawned a merchandizing bonanza.
This books delves into all of the ins and outs of developing, writing, casting, financing, filming, special effects, music and all of the myriad stages of making films.
A full-color photo insert in the middle of the hardbound book shows the cast and sets in front of and behind the camera.
If you're a fan of the Ghostbusters franchise this is the book you want: thorough, complete, fascinating, in-depth and just plan fun to read.
John 14:2 - In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
