'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' writer-director Gil Kenan tells EW how they created Baggie, the film's adorable haunted trash bag.
Writer-director Gil Kenan tells EW that "the choreography of that character was some of the most hilarious" he's seen.with over five years of experience covering the latest in entertainment. A proud Kingston University alum, Emlyn has written about music, fandom, film, television, and awards for multiple outlets including MTV News,!), the latest installment also introduces fans to a whole new gang of ghouls ready to make their mark on Manhattan.
Thus, Baggie was born. “The Baggie character, the choreography of that character, was some of the most hilarious I've… I hope I can release in some of the extras,” writer-director Gil Kenan tellsThe garbage ghost’s gleeful gait — which sees it bounce around corners and peek past library shelves — was largely created with practical effects.
“The SFX department created a trash bag that had a couple of footholds for a puppeteer to step into so that you could hobble around, so that I could block the sequences,” Kenan explains. “The performance of that trash bag with a performer's legs stuck into it is so hilarious and so close to the way that the final animation was created because it just created this loose, weird, goofy movement that I just loved so much.
Although Baggie succeeds in making it out of the building, the Possessor ends up transforming into one of the library’s stone lion statues and fighting the Ghostbusters in broad daylight. When police arrive on the scene, it manages to sneak away once again without getting ghost-trapped.
