Whoo hooo.
I know I'm bumping this after a long old time, but they've announced a Ghostbusters 3 (kind of) so it's relevant! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters_3 |

Yeah, I have my doubts about all CGI.

I still have my doubts it will even happen. It's been on and off for years.
But I'm just happy that there's still a chance, because Aykroyd categorically killed it off less than 6 months ago, and now he's back saying that it's still being planned. |

This is the one movie I've wanted all my life and know I'll never see. It's the movie they'll have for me on dvd if I get to heaven.
Of all the great franchises, its the one that hasn't bee properly continued and concluded, for better or for worse. It's potential was great. Should have been a trilogy, yet despite how close they got to making it, it just never happened. If they made a new generation, I'd see it...but it wouldn't be the same. What irks me about the Ghostbusters franchise is mostly Columbia's stance towards it. Okay, so the 3rd movie isn't getting made, but why is it treated like old news. Sadly I think Ghostbusters is being forgotten and in many cases underrated. Its as if they don't see it as being profitable. We don't even get special edition DVDs for these damn movies. As for the Ghostbusters 3 script, I wish they'd release it. I read a legitimate excerpt from it in a magazine a while back, but it was only a summary of one scene. I don't know where I'd find it online now, but it was from a legitimate source. Ghostbusters 3 has this mystique about it as the best project that never got off the ground. It's the sequel that never happened, and for that it's unique. Plus I want this hat: |

All CG? please no. Seriously, they could probably make more money by remastering, and going in with CG tools and deleted footage and making a special edition for re-release in theaters.

seems like he would be up to voice the character in a CGI movie though... I wouldnt mind a CGI movie...its ghostbusters, and if you have the characters look like the real guys with the real voices I think it can work nicely...and if its good and successful, they can do a couple... |

On the other hand, effects budgets for 2007 TV shows are able to pull off better stuff than 1999 blockbusters did, so perhaps just re-evaluating the budget would do the same. |

However, I'll take Ghostbusters in any format. I liked the cartoon, I liked X-Treme, and I'll probably like the new one. Hell, I'd settle for another Evolution. I'd also like to see new Ghostbusters or something. |

The latest on GB3: rumour has it that the original four actors are on board in some capacity for a sequel starring Steve Carrell, Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd as the next generation of active Ghostbusters.
Not sure how I feel about this. |

At least with those guys on board, all of whom could be considered big names in the movie business thanks to their recent success, this movie looks set to FINALLY be made... (Still don't hold your breath, though).
My main worry is that the Carrell, Rogan, Frat Pack crew will turn out to be flashes in the pan, and taint the GB legacy down the line. Imagine if this had happened a decade ago, there would be a Ghostbusters 3 DVD gathering dust on my shelf starring Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and Allan Covert (probably featuring a cameo from Seann William Scott) Last edited by NeanderCarl; 08-05-2008 at 07:12 PM. |

"However, the original cast members, including Murray, have all lent their voices to the forthcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game, due for release this autumn. "
That seems to be the only bit of evidence out of that article, so... |

Between this, Robert Llewellyn's recent hints that some new Red Dwarf this way comes and the Lightning Seeds set to release their first new album in 10 years means that three looooooooong waits that have bothered me for years all look set to be coming to an end.

I hope this doesnt happen. I like Carrell, Rudd and Co. but this just seems like a bad idea.

Watch the vid... it's a little vague, but then hints tend to be... could be nothing, but this is from the OFFICIAL RD website, they seem to know what's going on, and they're not doing much to alleviate speculation about new upcoming Red Dwarf projects (be it the long awaited movie, or a new series)... |

Text from TOS:
Robert Llewellyn: "We're going to have a jolly good time catching up on all the daft stories behind the scenes on Red Dwarf... and all the prospects for more Red Dwarf. [Winks] Aaah, yes indeed - news just through. But I won't tell you till I'm there." Whatonearthcanhepossiblybe-referringtocoulditreallybeas-excitingasitseemsithinkimgoing-toexplode?!?!?!? Thing is, we can't yet tell you what he's referring to. We'd love to, we're aching to, and it's been on the cards since the website relaunch but... nope, you're just going to have to wait a little while longer. It'll be worth it. Promise. |

Back to GB3 though, if they really are going to turn to the Frat Pack dudes to relaunch the franchise, they should really look to the originals rather than the newbies.... it's already been said in this thread that Vince Vaughn would make a good Venkman substitute, Owen Wilson as a bewildered, chilled out Ghostbuster could work and Ben Stiller's name has been linked to this project for a decade (although I personally wouldn't want to see him in it).
As for Will Ferrell, he's so hit and miss, but when he is funny, he's very funny. If he was "on", then Ferrell the Ghostbuster could be amazing. Last edited by NeanderCarl; 08-06-2008 at 06:41 PM. |

I don't care who they put in a new movie, I just want to see a third Ghostbusters flick. Make it happen.

Read a report that Paul Rudd denied these latest rumours, but said he would love to do it if he were asked.

I would think so. The actual cast filming itself for a movie would be just a few weeks, I expect. A new series would take longer. but still perhaps 10 weeks max.
Main problem is aging. Have you seen Chris Barrie's hair lately?? How can he be Rimmer without the curly side parting?? The man is virtually bald! |

I'm against the "remake" or recast idea that has circulated for ages. It originally started with rumors of Chris Farley and Will Smith joining Aykroyd and Ramis on the team.
Then rumors of Vince Vaughn, Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell, which I would be highly against. The most recent rumor is with the Apatow crew, which although I wouldn't be for, it would likely be the best possibility. I think it was Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill and Jason Segel suggested. |

I'd be happy with a recast rather than a remake. The original Ghostbusters are older now and it would be unrealistic to expect those four to still be busting ghosts at their age... they were already finding it a struggle by the second movie, and that was 20 yrs ago. Whilst I wouldn't be happy with a new Ghostbusters where they weren't in it at all, I think a new group of busters with the original crew as advisors and getting their hands dirty one more time in the final showdown would be fine (and with Ramis and Aykroyd at the helm of writing/directing if Reitman won't do it).
Definitely against a remake. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The original is perfect. |

well a re-cast sequel would be a better bet than a remake for sure. You get to have it be a continuation, and appease fans and still get all the pros of a reboot.
With a new cast and the brand name of Ghostbusters you'd make the same money. You'd also get people who are turned off by a remake to turn out. It would provide a new story and situations to insert comedy into, and with a new quartet of comedians in the ghostbusting role, along with cameos/roles from the original cast, it would be a torch passing |

Well, what do Ramis and Aykroyd think about this? Not only did they write the first two, but they also wrote a third script too. Did they personally choose to get new writers on board for a fresh approach or have the studio taken it upon themselves to commission this new script simply believing Aykroyd and co. will be so happy to make a third film that they will relinquish all creative influence over it??
