Inside the Ray Gunn First Look Reveal

Ray Gunn’s newly released images present a unique retro-futuristic world called Metropia. The story follows private investigator Raymond Gunn as he gets caught up in a mystery involving aliens, murder investigations, and a famous celebrity, Venus Nova.

Bird describes the project as a blend of classic detective noir storytelling and futuristic science fiction. Its visual design is inspired by Art Deco architecture and visions of the future from the early twentieth century, a unique style rarely seen in modern animation.

The voice cast is filled with big names:

  • Sam Rockwell as Raymond Gunn.
  • Scarlett Johansson as Venus Nova
  • Tom Waits as Eyera

The combination of storytelling, animation and star power has already generated a lot of anticipation among moviegoers.

What the Ghostbusters Night Shift Surprise Revealed

Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a surprise reveal, presented fans with a new chapter in the Ghostbusters universe. The film is set in New York City in 1994, five years after the events of Ghostbusters II. The series turns its attention away from the original group to a group of young New Yorkers who are battling a new supernatural menace.

The show will combine humour, adventure and supernatural action while keeping ties to the larger Ghostbusters franchise, Netflix has said. Early artwork suggests an animation style that is visually ambitious and a darker tone than some previous animated Ghostbusters projects.
