Does anybody here have a copy of the script Dan Aykroyd wrote in 1999 for Ghost Busters In Hell?

I know there were copies floating around on the net a few years back but I can't seem to find one now. Doesn't look like it's ever going to be made either :'(

03-16-2006, 03:36 AM

Yah let me get that for you.

They should have made like 90-91 movies in that series. That way, they would have been sure to have beaten that horse to death.

Nope. I have the new set and no script there.

NeanderCarl

YOUR Hero, how can you "beat the horse to death" by only making 2 movies? You've got an all-time classic, and then a nice little companion in the underrated sequel. Hardly squeezing every last drop out of it, is it?

And if they do eventually make a third, then it will be at least 18 years after the last one.... not exactly sucking the franchise dry, more simply an affection for the movies and a want to re-explore these characters again.

The way I see it, even a bad GhostBusters 3 movie would still entertain me and make me mark out more than any other movie I've seen in years, and would excite me more than any forthcoming movie I've heard about.

And yea, I think all of them are in the 300 lb range now and alittle hairless, last I saw. It seems they could do a Space Cowboys 2 then a GB3, but still... I would like to see another one. I predict in the sequel they'd do some wacky pop culture crap in it like with Mr. Bobby Brown, but this time they'd have like 50 Cent or Good Charlotte as ghosts or some crap. So bring on Ghostbusters 3 anyways...

Then again, I'd like to see another Gremlins so what do I know.

NeanderCarl

03-20-2006, 02:46 PM

Thing is, although a Gremlins 3 may be good, there haven't been any rumours about it, no script has ever been written for it, nor have deals attempted to be made with studios. My appetite has been whetted for GB3 though, because there was so much buzz about it for a while. My hopes were raised.

I think the writers are talented enough to get past the fact they have all aged a bit since the first one, and I guess any physical exertion on their part would be limited to just a few scenes.

The original idea was to have three new Ghost Busters, whilst the original four would basically run the company. The three were supposed to be Chris Rock, Chris Farley and Ben Stiller. (This was a while ago.)

We certainly do. Our soap operas, regularly the highest rated prime time shows on UK television, mostly all feature minorities in big roles. Some of our most popular comedians are "minorities" (Lenny Henry, possibly the 80's most popular stand-up and huge contributor to Comic Relief, as an immediate example), including an Iranian comedian who is getting pretty big here at the moment. There is a huge and growing music scene of musicians, especially around London, who are black or otherwise "minority".

I currently date a girl who's mother is Malaysian and whose father is Welsh. I have Indian friends, Iranian friends, Chinese friends, Irish friends, English friends, Welsh friends, black friends, white friends... do NOT underestimate the U.K. for ethnic diversity, because you would be very surprised.

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.

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.

Wasn't it categorically killed because they couldn't get Venkman back? Well, couldn't get Bill to play Venkman?

It's a sequel, which is better than no sequel.

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.

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)

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.

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.

NeanderCarl

08-25-2008, 03:00 PM

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.

Jeritron

08-25-2008, 03:04 PM

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

Sony Moving Forward with New Ghostbusters!
Source: Variety September 5, 2008

Columbia Pictures has set "The Office" co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a "Ghostbusters" film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

Eisenberg and Stupnitsky just wrote The Year One, a comedy that was directed by Ramis. Ramis with Aykroyd wrote the first two installments of the films. Ivan Reitman directed both the 1984 original and the sequel that was released in 1989.

Ghostbusters was Columbia's highest grossing film ever, until it was beaten by Men in Black and then Spider-Man. An attempt to make a third installment of the franchise was stymied in the dealmaking stage.

No deals will be made with the original cast until the script is ready.

This is the most promising news since the 90s. Looks like it very well might happen after all.

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??

Xero

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.

NeanderCarl

09-06-2008, 01:23 PM

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.

Latest...

Bill Murray has hinted that he may star in a new Ghostbusters movie.

The actor, who has previously expressed his reluctance to return for a further instalment in the franchise, said he would be willing to put on a proton pack for Ghostbusters 3.

"I think the wounds from Ghostbusters 2 have healed," he told reporters at US film festival Fantastic Fest.

The 58-year-old said he approves of Columbia Pictures's hiring of Office duo Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg to pen the script, saying: "That could work, that's a good idea to get a fresh look at it."

He added that he enjoyed recording dialogue for the upcoming Ghostbusters video game.

"It was fun to do it again," he said. "I found myself walking down Fifth Avenue singing the song (Ray Parker Jr.'s 'Ghostbusters'). People were like, 'That guy's really full of himself!'"

Ghostbusters 3 Starts Filming In The Fall Source: The Boston Globe February 23, 2009

Dan Aykroyd participated in a chat with The Boston Globe in celebration of a new House of Blues opening and was asked by someone about the status of Ghostbusters 3. Here's the opening bit from the chat:

[Comment From Tom] Dan, I'm extremely excited for the HOB to be back in its birth-city!! I will be attending many shows. On a side note, and I'm sure you get these questions a lot, so I apologize in advance...Ghostbusters 3? I've heard that the writers of the Office are currently penning a script? How is this coming along, and should we look forward to this movie seeing the light of day? Thanks Dan!

Dan Aykroyd: Script is commenced early summer. Hope to be in production by late fall 2009.

It was announced last September that "The Office" co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky were going to write the script for the third film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

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.

just because the writers and existing cast members pick them doesnt make them good picks. Did the actors George Lucas picked for star wars make those picks right even though they were mostly terrible?

eh I would say the writing was the mistake Lucas made. It would be wrong to thing he did the same thing as he did with the originals, because he didn't.
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

The original source is Bloody Disguising. They've proven to be a good source. Plus, don't know if you saw the clip of Bill on Letterman, or heck, read/listened to any of his interviews in regards of Ghostbusters 3, but he's really not into it.

Damian Rey

04-06-2010, 03:09 AM

Honestly, if Reitman isn't helming, they should probably cancel it out all together. The franchise has a nice legacy, and getting a new director could lead to a clunker that could leave the franchise ending on a sour note.

I would love a 3rd and final installment, but Sony has to treat this as a big deal and put the quality of the film first.

Jeritron

04-07-2010, 02:46 PM

Yea, but he was excited about playing the role again. He suddenly had a big turn around and got enthusiastic about doing a third Ghostbusters. In numerous interviews, reports, and an appearance on Good Morning America, he expressed how eager he was to do it. That's why the project finally started moving forward again after years on the backburner.
He even reprised the role for a video game, of all things.

Now, all of a sudden, this is being reported. I'm beginning to wonder if he's bipolar

Fignuts

Because it would please people on the internet, and everybody hates people on the internet.

Jeritron

04-08-2010, 05:43 AM

If he was willing to do TWO Garfield films, he should reprise the role of Venkman.

The reason the movie never got made in the 90s was him. He was able to block production, and didn't cooperate at all. He wanted nothing to do with it, so they gave up.
At the time, I think he was going through his "serious actor" phase and didn't want anything to do with silly things like Ghostbusters and his old SNL/National Lampoon's buddies. He was in with the Wes Anderson crowd.
But in recent years he started to do more kids movies and cameos, and eventually Ghostbusters 3 came back to life.

I have been following the development of this movie since a time where my only internet access was Web TV at my grandparent's house.

Zeeboe

04-08-2010, 06:08 AM

Check out what he said at the end of this interview a few weeks ago -

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lcJPBVW-iiM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lcJPBVW-iiM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

I know it's a joke, but he told that same story in another interview, and in all seriousness, it was probably those people who gave him the "Get over it Pal" look when he was singing the Ghostbusters theme that caused him to change his mind again. And others like that. Rich snobs. And it just hit something in him, and made him worry that, that is how he will come across if he did another Ghostbusters, and he doesn't want that image.

Shoot, those people who looked at him probably had never even seen the Ghostbusters films, and were just being snobby pricks.

On the otherhand, if the whole movie is just suppose to be some lame "pass the torch" flick, then I agree with Bill about not doing it. I rather it be the old-school ghostbusters coming back, and kicking some ass.

He was in Garfield 2: A Tale of Two Kitties. Ghostbusters 3 could be the worst movie ever made, and he will still be a legend because he's Bill Murray.

Nobody in their right mind is going to look down on him, or the other members of the cast, for coming back to do this movie and give it a try. People have always loved Ghostbusters, and it's really been underdone. It's not like they're beating a dead horse or bleeding it dry.

Hope they don't fuck with the formula, new writers usally means people that want to change shit thats been established just for the sake of changing it. Hopefully ecto goes back to what it was in the original and they don't fuck with the look of the proton packs or trap. Be interesting to see if they could somehow bring back Stay Puft, probably the best known "evil" character of the franchise.

Well, remember, it's been about 20 years since the game's story (set in 91). It'd be stupid as hell to have a 1970s Ecto.

Also, while I've said they should keep the streams exactly as they were in the original, I'd expect there to be more than a few upgrades to the equipment, including streamlining the look. This, of course, assumes that they've been active for the last 20 years. For all we know the story could be that they went out in the mid-90s and have to get the old equipment out of storage because of a crisis.

As for Stay Puft, he's now the form of the destructor/Gozer in our dimension/universe and always will be. They established this in the game. If Gozer returns, so does Stay Puft.

04-08-2010, 04:56 PM

Is the Ecto 1A/B the Ecto 1 upgraded or an entirely different car in canon? Because they have 1B in the game, which looks pretty similar to 1A from GB2.

If it's Ecto-1, logically they should never go back.

I think it's the same car. It's all beat up and broke down at the beginning of 2, but then they refurbish it I assumed. I always figured the A and B were just to sound cool/signify an update.
I mean, they picked an old ambulance in the movie because it's all they could afford/was the right size. I'm sure they're not going out and finding rare antique cars and fixing them up. If they were introducing new cars, I think it would be something more modern.

In the cartoon, new vehicles always had a higher number.

Meant to be upgraded though in reality its an entirely different car. Never liked ecto1-a, just looks like they went to town slapping on multicolour lights anywhere there was room for them. Ended up looking more like a disco mobile. =/

1-b looked more like the original but retained the yellow\black stripes of 1-a. Lights etc got toned down as well to what it was originally.

What id love to know is why there was never a release of GB2 featuring the Louis\Slimer encounter in the firehouse. In the comic Louis went to town trying to trap slimer when he discovered him in the firehouse. You actually see a small piece of this in GB2 in the credits where you see slimer in a rear view mirror, in the comic Louis was wearing this when on the prowl for slimer. Seems like they filmed at least some of it and the effects but its never been in any release. :mad:

Looks like it was all removed just so you see Louis at the end putting on the proton pack like its first time, when in the comic he had prior experience with it.

Ghostbusters 2 itself hardly gets a dvd release. I didn't even know it was on Blu Ray yet. I don't think it is. When the first film came out, it didn't.
It only got one dvd release in the first gen. It had next to no special features. Even the first film hasn't seen a lot in the way of special features and dvd releases.

There's also little clips from an old "making of" special, which show scenes being filmed that aren't in the final cut of the film. They're not the actual film though, but behind the scenes angles.

It's all very minimal. Like 2 or 3 seconds if that. If you hunt on youtube, or go to SpookCentral.com you may find them.

Dunno, ever since GB2 the franchise just seems to be treated like a bastard stepchild. Literally in the case of the ectomobiles which were allowed to lay and rot on the Sony backlot, i know the original has been restored, ecto1-a was also meant to be getting a restoration but as far as i remember that was put on the backburner.

There has not been any confirmation, just rumours, speculation and provisionals. It has still never officially got the green light.

Well, in 1998 they were in pre-production with an official green light I believe.

Things went tits up, but the Hellbent script has been around since the mid 90s, as have the rumours of GB3. So I wasn't just pulling it out of the clear blue sky, I think it was due to the latest round of rumours (at that time) that got me interested in seeing the script.
