Without Dan Aykroyd, Ghostbusters simply does not exist, so the actor is needless to say a big time hero in the world of nerd culture. In addition to co-writing, he of course played Ray Stantz in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, and he’s now playing the role of critic courtesy of a glowing mini-review of Paul Feig’s reboot.
Per Aykroyd’s official Facebook page…
“As originator of the original: Saw test screening of new movie. Apart from brilliant, genuine performances from the cast both female and male, it has more laughs and more scares than the first 2 films plus Bill Murray is in it! As one of millions of man-fans and Ray Stantz, I’m paying to see that and bringing all my friends!”
Full disclosure: Dan Akyroyd executive produced the reboot. Just something worth mentioning.
Ghostbusters will haunt the big screen on July 15, 2016.
Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones are our new paranormal investigators along with their loyal secretary Chris Hemsworth. Neil Casey, Andy Garcia, Michael K. Williams, Matt Walsh, Pat Kiernan, Cecily Strong, and Charles Dance also star. Cameos will include the original film’s stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts. Plus Ozzy Osbourne.
Synopsis:
Dead criminals from all eras of New York’s underbelly past have returned to roost among the living. Pilgrims, old-timey sailors, Revolutionary War spirits, and even a couple of zoot-suited gangsters are ready to take on four formidable female busters looking to rid the city of its phantasmic filth.
