I’ve stummbled across a real gem. I think this is the shooting script for the first [Ghostbusters movie](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/movies). I downloaded it form a collection of scripts on [Demonoid.com](http://Demonoid.com). It has details about early versions that it takes a real geek to know, things like the original ecto-1 design, the proton beems forming a box to trap [Slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer), the bums in the park, and Gozzer ariving in the form of Shandor. A lot of the lines are different, but [Harold Ramis](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/harold-ramis) did say that a lot of lines were improved on the DVD comentary. If it is a fake, it’s a well crafted one. It’s a PDF file, If some one could tell me how to attach a file, I’ll post it, or you can get it from [http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1289813/3113979/](http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1289813/3113979/)

Yeah, that’s been around for awhile now. I think I printed that out about 10 years ago. I find it interesting, myself, and as far as I know it’s real. It should be stated that no script is ever “final”…changes get made constantly (especially with those SNL/SCTV types)

I think it goes to show how much movies change from script to screen! The later versions of the script are pretty different to the film as well.
