Agreed, but I thought jonogunn was asking if it was officially confirmed in an article. Based on precedent 3D seems like a foregone conclusion. The last couple movies aside from the Spiderverse series of movies are a pretty good indicator of what to expect.: Hotel Transylvania: Transformia, Vivo, and The Mitchells vs. The Machines.
The Mitchells vs. the Machines was 3D but pushed for primarily using 2D-style effects to mimic traditional animation. There were even some moments that used all 3 types: stock 2D animation, live-action footage, and CG. It would be really interesting if the GB movie took this approach.
Kluska has worked on all 3 Hotel Transylvania movies I believe whereas Chris Prynoski’s resume is traditional animation. So that is food for thought why they went with 2 directors with 2 different fortes.
And as an aside, there was this Netflix movie called Klaus that I thought was 3D but it was traditional animation that using lighting techniques to make it look 3D.
I finally sat down to watch Klaus over the festive period-just-gone, absolutely brilliant and beautifully animated. I know it wouldn’t necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea but I’d be open to something similar to that film’s style being used on this new Ghostbusters production (though I know it probably won’t be used).
With the writers strike going on, I can’t help but wonder if the animated movie will be more affected by it than Firehouse. Or would this fall under the animation guild instead?
It depends. Most are part of the Animation Guild so it doesn’t but many members are supporting WGA members. Also, if something animated is created by someone who is a WGA member like “The Simpsons" or "Bob’s Burgers”, then yes, the strike affects it. Here I suppose it depends on if Brenda Hsueh is a WGA member or not.
This isn’t a drill, we have an early plot scoop of the movie from TheVScooper on Twitter! They also mention it underwent “creative adjustments” earlier this year, but it does look like it’s still doing the “ghost’s perspective” plotline Jeff Sneider brought up months ago regarding the film’s current developments.
Follows two rogue young ghosts and their pet within a ghost society beneath New York, where laws regulate interactions with humans
Sounds plausible but this is the same person who said Hell’s Kitchen / Frozen Empire was about rookies who let the ghosts out of the ECU by mistake while Ray and Winston are battling a powerful entity in the UK.
Kinda like what if there’s a Peoplebusters world underneath NY? Intrigued.
I hope any ideas of a perspective from a ghost society in the GB universe dies on the writing room floor. That kind of stuff barely worked in RGB and made for some of the weakest episodes. It is schlocky
