Licensing Show 2008 in New York didnt have a barrel of suprises for the regular visitor but one thing I wasnt expecting to see was an attempt to relaunch the Ghostbusters franchise. There is a very nice looking Playstation 3 game on show as well as the usual cheesy marketing activities, 4 guys dressed as the ghostbusters walking around the show floor for photo ops. The films still have a fan base, I loved the first one but was cool on the second one, but I guess enough time has passed between the original releases and now that a re-entry into the market might bring the concept to a whole new audience. My biggest gripe was not being allowed to take pictures of the PS3 game, which in this day and age is ludicrous, pathetic and counter-productive, as I am now not going to blog or write anything nice about the game having being stopped from taking shots.
Keep your eye open for the game and probably some impeding press release on a new film or tv show.
