There was more about Callie’s backstory that streamlined Source: [Avid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlrxntC9Ns0) (39:44-39:56) Nate Orloff, “So there’s originally a lot more about Callie and the backstory and the details and when that gets slowly ironed out and you like massaging bubbles out of a screen protector.” ---

So, this is what Gozer looked like when the movie was filmed. Yes, she did have the red eyes. I have no idea why they ruined it in post-production by making them black eyes. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/fcf3ff32d392e9cdfc4a1868950f1306a6076196.jpeg) Source: [Behind-the-scenes look at Olivia Wilde as Ghostbusters: Afterlife's Gozer the Gozerian - Ghostbusters News](https://ghostbustersnews.com/2021/12/09/behind-the-scenes-look-at-olivia-wilde-as-ghostbusters-afterlifes-gozer-the-gozerian/) ---

I can only speculate that maybe Jason felt that the black eyes looked more sinister and otherworldly. Especially as both [Zuul](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/zuul) and Vince were going to have them prominently, and even Vigo had featured them in his demonic form. ---

Ha ha. Yes. Part of me was stoked Jason admitted the assembly cut was 3 hours but a small part of me was annoyed he did because now most of that 1 hour’s worth of deleted material will be an ongoing mystery. Unless he was downplaying how many [deleted scenes](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes) there will be on the Blu-ray. ---

The black eyes in hindsight looked more sinister, it was like looking into nothing, no emotion from them at all, whereas red eyes it was just a woman with contact lenses. Having seen the redeye look in that pic i think the black looks far more foreboding. ---

Perhaps they were trying to show that Gozer though still adopting a human form made it look slightly different. Even a Demon needs a change. I don’t mind it, its a difference and like everything else changes. “It’s whatever it wants to be” ---

Man they really did a number on Janine! It seemed like she was the nick fury of the movie getting the gang back together. My hopes for an extended cut would be to include all these scenes as originally played but I think that would make the movie too drastic of a change so I doubt Jason would do that. Typical extended movies are to just add additional scenes and not change the make up of it. Bummer. I would have really liked to see that version. ---

Yep so like I thought I’m fairly certain the very last scene between Jeanine and Winston was suppose to take place BEFORE all the GB’s show up at the farm. I mean…they wouldn’t have cut out footage of the OGB’s getting back together would they? Because to me I think their thinking was “oh man the audience will be so surprised to see the GB’s show up here at the end” and instead it doesn’t work that way, for me at least. I’m thinking “Ok…where did they came from? Did they walk?” How badass would it have been to have them arrive by helicopter. The Ecto Copter. With Winston flying. Ray hanging out the side with a mini gun style proton pack connected to the helicopter. Like the gunner seat in the Ecto 1 but one upped. Ray fires! Gozer dodges! Gozer hits the copter with some lightning, the rotor is hanging on by a thread. she starts going down. Uh oh. Beep beep beep beep. She’s gunna crash! But Winston gains control at the last second and sets it down nice and gentle like. They all get out. Ray, Winston, Venkman. All suited up. Walking towards the camera, helicopter in the BG. And BOOOOOM! The helicopter explodes in the BG and it’s the ultimate hero shot in slo mo…but of old shlubby out of shape men in [proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack). They do not look cool. But maybe they also do just a tiny bit. Venkman quips and Ray has a giant grin. Winston: Damn it. That’s the 2nd one I’ve lost Venkman: Well, 3rd times a charm Winston: Do I charge that to the company? Ray: We’ll let our accountant(nice Tully mention) figure it out. Ok. Business time. Let’s get back in the saddle boys. Venkman: But I have bone spurs… And the movie proceeds as is. ---

You could easily take 20 minutes (edit: ok, maybe not THAT much, but it is trimmable) out of the first hour of this movie to make space for these deleted ones. I want them back in because they appear to fix a ton of my complaints. There HAS to be an extended cut on the way… Will it be used to cross-promote a sequel. C’mon [Ghost Corps](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ghost-corps), don’t leave us hanging. Could whoever is in contact with Eric try to get confirmation of whether all of these [deleted scenes](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes) will be released at some point in future? In the recent interview he did he said there’d be deleted scenes on the home release but seems not to be the case? We’ll all buy another edition on 4K UHD for these scenes - I don’t particularly care about the money I just want at them so I can make my [Afterlife](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ghostbusters-afterlife) edit, or view an extended cut from Jason & Co. ---

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I saw the movie at how relatively well she was treated (notice that she’s the one person Egon was never able to completely alienate) but this makes me mad at the movie all over again. It’s totally in character for her to storm off to New York to start beating down some doors and saying “No, THIS time you’re going to listen!!! Egon’s gone and isn’t able to talk some sense into you jerks, but I swore that the last thing I will ever get to do for the man is to get you to f\*\*\*ing listen!!!” (I already headcanonned her forcefully knocking on the door of Ray’s Occult about six second after Ray’s call with Phoebe was cut off, and her saying something a lot like the above) It’s frustrating that it sounds like they were working on a movie that would have been a lot better for the character than the one we got. ---

> [@Davideverona](#): > > We know from Ernie that they are working on the sequel… What if they cut those scenes to repurpose them in GB4, giving them more time to develop? I can see your angle but this is extremely unlikely: 1. Bill does not want to do more Ghostbusters, that’s why he has only two scenes in [Afterlife](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ghostbusters-afterlife). 2. Dan seems quite content with cameo status. 3. Winston has already been established as being back in the end credit sequence. So… who is Janine supposedly recruiting? They’re not bringing the OG’s back in a substantive role, man. It’s just not happening. It also doesn’t make sense because those scenes were arguably needed specifically to explain why the OG’s turn up out of nowhere in this existing movie. ---

[Eric Reich](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/eric-reich) got back to me on some deleted scene questions: 1. In trailers/promos, there is the famous photo of the four guys standing outside the Firehouse between takes of them running out during GB1 principal photography is in a frame. Was this framed photo in the Farmhouse, Peter and Dana’s place, or someplace else? Eric: Peter and Dana’s 1. What was Oliver Cooper’s role in the movie? Eric: He was a security guard in Walmart, it was unfortunately cut. 1. In the Frog Bros. interview you did last month, you said there would be “some really cool [deleted scenes](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes)” but in the digital/physical release, there’s only 1 deleted scene. Are the other deleted scenes coming soon in a yet to be announced release? Eric: I meant in all future releases, including the special trap box set which has some never before scenes from GBII. More info to come on that in the next day or two online. 1. It was 2 bts shots seen in a B-roll and on Jason’s instagram. Was this in the Wertheimer’s Hardware, Walmart, or elsewhere? [https://www.instagram.com/p/CRo3WLKptJX/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CRo3WLKptJX/) Eric: To answer your last question, that scene is in the hardware store with the Mini Pufts, it was also cut, at one point they were going to shoot a nail gun.
