Lionsgate Made a CASPER Ripoff Movie Titled GHOSTER and Here's the Trailer

So uh, Lionsgate released a trailer for an upcoming movie titled Ghoster, which is clearly a ripoff of the classic 1995 Casper movie. It’s crazy that this film actually got made with how blatantly it copied what Casper did.

The movie was directed by Ryan Bellgardt (Army of Frankensteins, Gremlin, The Jurassic Games, The Adventures of Jurassic Pet, Adventures of Rufus: The Fantastic Pet, and Dinosaur World ), and it stars Sophie Proctor, J.R. Brown, Josh Escayg, Rachel G. Whittle, Marlon Ladd, and Gerardo Davila.

Here’s the synopsis:

Enter an enchanted, ghostly world with this captivating family adventure. Elizabeth and her father inherit a nearby estate — but find it haunted by a kindly young phantom named Ghoster. He begs for Elizabeth’s help undoing an ancient dragon’s curse that has trapped him in the manor. Joined by the caretaker’s handsome son Mateo, they must enter a magical painting and solve dangerous puzzles to undo the hex and free the trapped souls of Ghoster’s ancestors. It’s so much fun, it’s almost scary!

Lionsgate will debut Ghoster direct-to-VOD / DVD starting on October 11th, 2022. I wonder if whoever owns the rights to Casper will attempt to sue over this. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think.
