 He sees dead people... and they annoy him.
Dr. Bertram Pincus, DDS is a big-city curmudgeon, a cynical snob and a self consumed loner who just wants to get away from the teeming masses who surround him in Manhattan. But Pincus is about to have his entire world-view punctured in the wake of a near-death experience. Now that he can see dead people - and literally can't avoid them no matter where he goes - Pincus has no choice but to interact with these persistent spirits, which opens him up to an even more frightening realization: the only way he's going to get rid of these pesky poltergeists is to help them.
The whimsically supernatural yet very human concept of “Ghost Town” emerged from the mind of director and co-writer David Koepp, who is one of Hollywood's most sought-after screenwriters. His writing credits include such globally appealing classics as “Jurassic Park” for Steven Spielberg, “Carlito's Way” for Brian De Palma and “Panic Room” for David Fincher and, most recently, the summer blockbuster “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” But he has also won acclaim for several films he wrote and directed himself, including the supernatural thriller “Stir of Echoes” and the suspense-filled adaptation of the Stephen King novel “Secret Window.”
