If they do the "Hell on Earth" storyline I'll be happy, but it does sound kind of odd to not have Ramis and Aykroyd write it.

I mean, kudos to them if they just figured that in trying to update an 80s classic, they may need more modern voices on board to make the film relevant to todays audiences. How many times have you seen an old film get a new installment years and years later that was nothing more than a failed attempt to hark back to an era which no longer exists?
The first two Ghostbusters films are classics, but are Ramis and Aykroyd capable of recreating that atmosphere in 2008 without the whole thing feeling forced and dated? I guess having a couple of modern day writers on board can't hurt, as long as it's in unison with Harold and Dan, not instead of them. I heard the Ghostbusters in Hell script which never came to fruition wasn't that great - the concept was good but the execution poor. Perhaps they can take the same story, but have the new writers flesh out the characters and eliminate some of the flaws.... I don't know, all speculation I guess. I'm really happy that it seems we are finally getting that third Ghostbusters installment but the shine will certainly wear off if none of the original cast or writers are involved. The rumours say Ivan Reitman is attached, though. |

Exactly. I have been expecting this movie since I was in high school and they started talking about that "Ghostbusters in Hell" script that never happened.

I'd be happy with Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Kiefer Sutherland and Angelina Jolie. It's 2009, you gotta have the token chick. There's usually a token black guy, of course, but it's 2009, so New York will have a black mayor instead.
Probably played by Morgan Freeman. |

damn. Will Ferrell is one of my favorite actors, and I would bust a nut laughing at him if he got slimed...
I was orignially going to say that Ferrell shouldn't be in the movie, but he should now that I think about it. He should be the Igon wanna be! He's faking like he's a genius, and is dumb as a box of rocks! He could pull it off! |

BK, it would be a drastic change from his routine ultra-dramatic stuff.

Guess I'm a little more optimistic than you are and predict that it will be better than 2 which I thought kinda sucked by comparison but a lot a sequels in the 80s did for that matter.

It still made me laugh. It was still memorable though, it definitely had some flaws which I dismiss due to the fact that GB is at heart a comedic fantasy.

I dont think this movie even has a shot of being good, and im a big GB fan. I cant even come up with a cast of people Id want to be in the movie.
I see people suggesting the Lonely Island guys, will ferrel, seth rogen, paul hader? please lord no. |

Everyone has an opinion on who is an isn't "GB material" but that's just because of differing tastes and senses of humor.
The decision that the writers and existing cast members make is the right one, because it fits in line with their sense of humor and taste, which is what the original was built on. Zany antics aren't what fits. They'll pic dry, sarcastic cast members. I would be very suprised to see Will Ferrell or Jack Black cast, as with Vince Vaughn. |

I'm all for Rudd and Rogen, but I'm sure there are plenty who'd feel the same way about that as I would about other comedians

I like Paul Rudd usually, I guess I wouldnt mind him if I had to choose new actors.

I dunno though I feel like this movie could be great.
If they've waited this long to make it, don't you think they've been waiting until they have a good enough script? They all have plenty of money, and I'd imagine that this only happens if they are comfortable with the script. |

Isn't the movie now NOT being written by Ramis and Aykroyd? I don't trust anybody but them to handle it.

He decided to write and direct the prequels on his own. In the past, he wrote the stories and had screenwriters make the dialogue work. He should have done that again. With the exception of Hayden Christensen, casting was perfectly fine. Ewan McGreggor was immense as Obi Wan, as were Liam Neeson and all of the returning cast members. Samuel L. Jackson was great. Natalie Portman's dialogue was wooden, and she obviously wasn't getting direction. As a casting job, she's fine. She's not a bad actress at all. Even Hayden Christensen probably would have been fine if he got some better dialogue and direction to work with. He was praised in Life As A House. They brought on a dialogue coach for Episode 3 and although he still had his awful moments, he was much improved. So it might just be my opinion, but as a Star Wars fan I thought the story, characters, casting and overall design of the prequels was more than fine. My problems were with dialogue, direction, and an overabundance of CGI |

Somehow I foresee Seth Rogen being Ray's Stantz successor and Steve Carell being Peter Venkman's or Egan's successor in this I dunno why.

Based on style of humor and just personality I think Seth Rogen would be far more likely to be the Venkman style guy, while Carrell would be the Stantz type

The only Apatow person that might work for this is Jason Segal. Everyone else is too old to be a new guy or doesn't look like they should be fighting ghosts at all.
