Īfter we dive into that it’ll be “just the facts, jack” as John Candy famously says in “Ghostbusters 2.”* Those facts are: Inventory is improving, Corvette deals are hard to come by, BAC is expanding in the United States, and the UK/US are close to a minerals deal. The Marshmallow Man, in this case, is Volkswagen adopting Tesla’s standard. The second domino, here, is GM announcing it’s going to Tesla’s NACS (North American Charging Standard). “If we could just play this thing realistically from the beginning, we’d believe that the Marshmallow Man could exist by the end of the film.” “I called it my domino theory of reality,” he says. “This was beginning of the 1980s: everyone was going into business.” He also urged Aykroyd to extract the film from the realm of pure fantasy and set it in a modern American city. “I basically pitched what is now the movie-that the should go into business,” says Reitman. Here’s the full quote from an old Vanity Fair piece on the movie, btw:Īykroyd and Reitman went to lunch at Art’s Delicatessen in Studio City to discuss the project. But now? With GM signing on, it seems pretty real to me. He called it his “Domino theory of reality.” A year ago, it didn’t seem possible that the major automakers would give-in to Tesla’s call for using its charging standard. Screenwriter Ivan Reitman urged Akroyd and co-writer Harold Ramis to start out at Columbia University and slowly skew the world so the audience would accept what’s happening. The original script, by Dan Akroyd, had the original Ghostbusters flying into space, among all sorts of other wild ideas. This week is the 39th anniversary of the film “Ghostbusters,” which is a reference David may or may not get.
