Two Major Things We Now Know About The Ghostbusters Villain
By Emmeykeys
The marketing material that we’ve shown so far for Ghostbusters has been very specific. Rather than giving us anything from the story, the footage has entirely either focused on the four characters who make up the titular team, or little tidbits of style that remind us of the legacy of the franchise. What we haven’t heard much about is the central villain of the new movie, but we picked up some details about that very important character while on-set of the film last year. They couldn’t say much, but you can expect an antagonist with smarts on the level of the Ghostbusters, but also with some very bad intentions.
I had the wonderful opportunity to fly up to Boston, Massachusetts in the fall of last year where I had the chance to join a small group of other film journalists to visit the set of Ghostbusters, watch some of the production unfold, and chat with the folks responsible for bringing the movie to life. While speaking with co-writer Katie Dippold, who worked on the screenplay with director Paul Feig, we asked about what we could expect from the villain in the new movie, and while she could tell us much, she did provide some basic background information for fans. Said Dippold,
So our villain, so to speak, is a very smart genius type himself… I don’t want to give anything away… I guess I’ll say they kind of meet, they’re very smart people, they’re scientists and there is someone who is equivalent to them, but he, whereas they want to do good, he does not.
