MAZE RUN Poster 2

“The Maze Runner” an Action Sci-fi Chiller (Film Review)

 

Dredging up some excitement for September the film The Maze Runner opens in theaters for its teen and young adult audiences comprised mostly of males. Based on a series of novels by James Dashner the science fiction actioner takes its target audience on a fast paced challenging mystery filled with action sequences that excite.  The film should help the box office take a turn for the better during this customarily slow month.

Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary

Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary

It’s one of the most recognizable and beloved cars in cinematic history and this year, it turns 55 years old. However, it’s the 30th Anniversary of Ghostbusters this summer that has shined the Slimelight back onto the original Ecto-1.

Beyond the Marquee was recently given an opportunity to check out the Ecto-1 at Sony Pictures Studios and we brought along a special guest who hadn’t seen the car in a long time. It’s a reunion 30 years in the making as Beyond the Marquee interviews the designer of the original Ectomobile, Stephen Dane!

“My Old Lady” a Poignant Love Story (Film Review)

 

Writer and actor Israel Horovitz adds a second film to his directorial credits with My Old Lady. Originally written and produced for the stage, he has released the work as a film with brilliant cinematography and freedom to use a wider variety of settings. The movie stars Dame Maggie Smith, Kevin Kline and Kristin Scott Thomas in roles that seemingly are written for them. Touching, memorable and delightful My Old Lady reaches out for an older audience that embraces life and romance.

Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary

“I think this building should be condemned. There’s serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it’s completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.”  – Egon Spengler

We tried to think of a better way of starting out an article about our recent visit to the Ghostbusters interior headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, but couldn’t top what was already said about the place in the original Ghostbusters movie. What was true for the production crew and the fictional characters in the 1980’s remains true to this day and the location, quite simply put, is a mere ghost of its former glory. Beyond the Marquee’s crew made the best of a difficult shoot and just had fun checking out some key filming locations from the film. Join our host Jon Donahue as he and co-host Andy Cohen from FunnyorDie.com explore Ghostbusters HQ!

Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary

If you’re a Ghostbusters fan and you have any interest in Ghostbuster-related merchandise, toys, T-shirts, and donuts (yes, donuts), then you’ll want to check out the video above. Beyond the Marquee was recently invited down to Sony Pictures Studios to meet with our friends in the Consumer Marketing division and discover the great products that have been developed in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the original Ghostbusters film. In addition to the fun lineup of cool toys, prop replicas and the like, Sony is now releasing brand new Blu-rays of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II with all new special features and a 4K transfer.

Ghostbusters 1 & 2 on Blu-ray Sept. 16th

Looking over the great Ghostbusters-themed merchandise and toys was a lot of fun for us, but it was the biggest toy on the studio lot that caught our attention the most – the original screen-used Ecto-1 car. Sony provided us full access to the car and that allowed us an opportunity to not only sponsor a reunion of sorts (check out BTM Web-Series episode #70), but to also talk about an important topic on the minds of most Ghostbusters fans…the iconic car’s future preservation.
