Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters support town cinema

The car is one in a series of famous movie vehicles which have appeared

A community cinema's musical open day has attracted film fans seeking a selfie with a piece of movie history.

The Orbit Rocks event in Wellington, Shropshire, booked the Ecto-1 Ghostbusters car to appear alongside local music and dance groups performing Hollywood soundtrack songs.

The car was built from a genuine US ambulance in tribute to the original 80s film, but has since appeared itself in some of the many spin-offs.

Owner Paul Harborne told BBC Radio Shropshire: "This car has got genuine movie provenance. I have had the actors in the car, and I was the driver in it".

The manager of the Orbit community cinema, Damian Breeze, said the event was part of the cinema's work to embed itself in Wellington.

"We're here for putting films on for the community, but we also try to do these events in the square where we bring the people of Wellington out of their houses to see something different," he said.

"Obviously there are so many tracks and songs from the movies, I thought it would be fantastic to do."

Damian Breeze said he hoped to expand premises to provide community spaces

Mr Breeze said the venue would continue to grow over the next 18 months from its current cinema and cafe.

"By the end of 2025, all going well... we're developing the upper floors into hireable community spaces, so we'll have studio spaces, room for conferencing, art - you name it, we can do it."

Having already welcomed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Back to the Future cars to previous events, Mr Breeze said he was hopeful of continuing the run of famous movie vehicles.

"I'm in the process of trying to find something for next year, but I can't say anything yet," he said.
