Ghostbusters fans have set a new Guinness World Records title for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Ghosts at a Single Venue. The event was organized by Sony Pictures Entertainment in anticipation of the release of Ghostbusters, which will be released on July 14, 2016.
Ghostbusters fans gathered at The Event Plaza at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore dressed as ghosts, cleverly incorporating the franchise’s familiar “no ghost” icon into their outfits. An adjudicator for Guinness World Records confirmed that a total of 263 people dressed as ghosts claimed a new title for Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Ghosts at a Single Venue.
The event was followed by a gala red-carpet which were joined by Ghostbusters lead actress Melissa McCarthy and director Paul Feig. Set against the spectacular Singapore skyline, the excited fans were treated to a bit of Hollywood magic in anticipation of the upcoming action-adventure tentpole movie.
Ghostbusters makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. The director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. The film is produced by Ivan Reitman and Amy Pascal, and written by Katie Dippold & Paul Feig, based on the 1984 film “Ghostbusters,” an Ivan Reitman film, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.
