Ghostbusters Gets a Controversial Animated Video

There have been rumors that Channing Tatum is being sought to headline a new Ghostbusters that is reportedly being developed separately from director Paul Feig's all-female Ghostbusters reboot. While we may never know if Channing Tatum's Ghostbusters is happening or not, Mashed has debuted a new animated video that features Channing Tatum as the new Ghostbusters leader, who bosses around the original characters. They even have the late Harold Ramis' Egon Spengler as a ghost himself, along with references to horror movies such as The Ring, Alien, The Human Centipede (First Sequence) and Saw. The video is certainly divisive, with some calling it out for its poor taste, while others think it's hilarious. Where do you stand?

Marvel Movies That Never Happened

Marvel movies are bigger than they've ever been, but before their meteoric rise, there were several high-profile movies that never saw the light of day. The Dan Cave breaks down these unproduced projects such as James Cameron's Spider-Man, Bo Derek as Dazzler, Brigitte Nielsen as She-Hulk and many more.

Beyoncé Knowles' "Single Ladies"/DuckTales Mashup

Beyoncé Knowles' "Single Ladies" song was a smash hit in 2008, with a music video that is just as popular, with over 389 million views on YouTube to this day. The music video may be even better now, with YouTube user The Baroness is Awesome replacing the song itself with the theme to the animated TV series DuckTales. For comparison's sake, we've included both the mashup video and original music video above.

Watch Mojo has compiled a list of their top 10 "futuristic" movie technologies that, today, seem laughably outdated. Among the notable selections are the "public video phone" in Blade Runner, Total Recall's automated Johnny Cab, the wire frame map in Escape From New York and much more.

The Flash and Reverse Flash Mods Released for GTA V

While CW's The Flash is on hiatus after a successful first season, fans can experience a much different version of Barry Allen in a new mod for the popular Grand Theft Auto V video game.
