GHOSTBUSTERS Viral Site Unveils Behind-The-Scenes Featurette With Even More New Footage
Hidden within the frames of the new Ghostbusters trailer was a subliminal message leading fans to a viral site containing new images and a featurette, taking you behind-the-scenes of the upcoming film.
After being announced a few weeks ago, the first official trailer for Paul Feig's Ghostbusters, which stars Kristen Wiig (The Martian), Melissa McCarthy (The Boss), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Leslie Jones (Saturday Night Live), & Chris Hemsworth (Thor: Ragnarok), finally arrived earlier today and was met with a mixed reaction to say the least.
If the trailer didn't win you over, here's something interesting that may help sway your opinion. During the scene where Kristen Wiig's character 'Erin Gilbert' is being introduced, there's a quick shot of her white board and if you take a closer look you can see that it contained countless formulas and other research into the world of the paranormal. At the top of this board was a odd formula - [Pa/RA(NO*RM)alS + UD1es/Lab]com - which translates into paranormalstudios.com, and leads to a hidden viral site made for the Ghostbusters film featuring a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the tech the new set of heroes will utilize in their upcoming film.
Check out the cool behind-the-scenes featurette that shows off the science behind ghostbusting with commentary from director Paul Feig, and also catch even more new footage:
Plus, here are a few photos of the equipment & schematics found on the hidden site:
Erin Gilbert (Wiig) and Abby Yates (McCarthy) are a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. A few years later Gilbert lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia University, but her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. Gilbert reunites with Yates and others when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.
