A sneak peek of a scene from the upcoming Central North Carolina Ghostbusters movie, CNCGB: Get Animated! Gray is trapped inside the television by an angry ghost. Although we hope to get this done in time to pass out copies at the upcoming Greensboro convention, let's be realistic: there's probably not enough time before Febuary 8th.

CALLING ALL GHOSTHEADS IN THE NORTH CAROLINA AREA!

It's official. It's the end of the world as we know it.

We're doing a movie around the idea of Ghostbusters in space in tribute to Dan's original GB idea before Harold came on board to set it in NY City (which was a good thing). I need help on that if any of you are near NC. Filming officially begins in August. As a matter of fact, it's a college assignment for my Implementation Classes from fall 2008 to the end of spring 2009, believe it or not, and that unfortunately means there's a deadline. Usually these movies take a lot longer than one fall or spring, but the cast is coming together and I'm overwhelmed trying to afford and build props, costumes, find locations, etc. Fortunately lots of people have willingly volounteered without me asking, including a professor who's first 3D animated movie hits theatres this fall - he said he'd do the 3D ghosts. Crazy, ain't it? Not sure how much work he's willing to do or if he meant he'd teach me how. I'm willing to keep working on the movie past the due dates, but need something to show the profs for grade purposes.

Is anyone interested? Contact us ASAP!

Hey, Boyer here!

I thought I'd give an update and share some little news. Nothing big though. I hate talking big and then nothing happens. Anyway, the comic is coming alright but I've become busy with college classes and am giving that - or trying to give that - the priority. The comic's first issue is still not close to being released because of that.

Also, Gray and I have picked up interest in doing a live action. We had since become discouraged and canceled all plans of a possible live action, but that's changed once again. I've been fixing up the first generation Proton Pack prop I call the "Crap Pack" - the nuclear accelerated nightmare made from a vacuum cleaner - and am working on a second, closer to movie accurate pack. I said closer, not perfect. But our live action idea is a black and white comedy spoof in the style of all those B-rated old science fiction movies with a story and setting similar to Dan Aykroyd's original concept of Ghostbusters - a futuristic tale with space ships, interdimensional travel, time machines, competing GB teams, giant monsters, and all manner of strangeness. This way if our movie turns out crap like a lot of other online GB fan movies it won't matter because it's a black and white movie made to be like the old timey movies back when there weren't kick butt special effects. We'll fit right in! Let's hope a good story and lots of laughs can make the POSSIBLE film charming, IF we ever commit to the project.

Hello, everyone!

The Central North Carolina Ghostbusters (that's us) have been working on a Ghostbusters fan web comic, showcasing exaggerated accounts of our GBI unit's "cases."    Actually, in reality we haven't been picked up yet by GBI, but we're currently pending for approval (ghostbustersinternational.com). Anyway, the webcomic can be found in our photo gallery as well as a new deviant art account made especially for the comic at CNCGB.deviantart.com. The comic is a comedy and will not contain explicit language, nudity or sexual inuendo, or extreme realistic blood and guts. The first comic is World War GB, a parody of the book "World War Z" which features zombies. As you can tell by the cover art, there is a little blood and cartoony gore, but it is important to us that our comics are not overly violent and can be enjoyed by all ages safely.

Currently we only have the front cover up as a sneak peek. We're hard at work on the rest of the first issue. Here's hoping all you "ghostheads" out there enjoy our work!

Due to a severe case of Ecto-Acne in the downtown Winston area, the Central North Carolina Ghostbusters were unable to attend convention this year. Gray swears he had nothing to do with the Ecto-Containment breach that lead to the epidemic. In other news, the major soda corporations have been cashing in on the sudden increase in diet cola sales caused by the outbreak.
