Ghostbusters 3 is a go! (according to the writers, director and producer)

CB2001

Found this. I apologize if its been posted before, but its the first I've seen or heard of it: 'Ghostbusters 3' Is A Reality And Coming Christmas 2012, Harold Ramis Says


NOTE (December 23, 2011): This post is well past a year old. But I changed the title of the post as there are those feel that the original title is misleading. It is only misleading in the current historical context. If you're reading this, this you must be aware that there have been some delays in relation to Bill Murray. The writers and director/producer Ivan Reitman made this announcement last year, and so far, the term "is a go" comes from the mouth of those sources at that time.

My God, it really is going to be the end of the world...

So, when does Shia Labeouf sigh on ?

CTF

Nah, you mean Michael Cera.

JoMamma_Smurf

Or Seth Rogan.

micdavis

Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, and Jamie Fox.

Yea, that's the ticket.

Jet Beetle

They'll get Don Cheadle to replace Winston.

MooMooEgg

hahahahahaha

Yep.... Cheadle, Pitt, Clooney and Damon. And it will be called Ghostbuster's 13.

The BDK

Until I'm sitting in a theater to see it, I dont believe it'll happen. Too many false starts and canceled projects.

Jeyl

Michael Cera? Shia Labugfudge?

Nonononno. Please God, I'm begging you.

Annie Potts has aged very well! She doesn't even look as old as it says she is.

I really hope they get Rick Moranis back, but I know he's probably not interested at all and wouldn't do it. Oh well I can hope....

Double T

Whenever you mention a Ghostbusters 3, the terrorists win.

I really wouldn't trust imdb when it comes to unreleased movies. If this were real, there'd be a real press release and article from a reputable source.

ahahahaa


Same here. When I see it, I will believe it..

I like the ghostbusters video game, but I honestly think the film has a high chance of being a dissapointment. They already want to have alyssa milano and eliza dushku which hopefully was a rumor because I cant picture them in the film
Yup that already screams winner..

Not that I seriously think I can turn the tide of this conversation, but what modern actors/comedians would you think worthy to strap on a few proton packs?

EvilRocketeer

Paul Rudd..jason bateman

CB2001

Kevin Smith of "Clerks" fame. Seriously, this is the kind of thing that'd be up his alley.

My GB3 Dreamteam:
Vince Vaughn (Venkman's younger brother maybe?)
Ben Stiller (ala Night at the Museum)
Steve Carell (The new 'Egon' character)
Dave Chappelle (Winston get's his nephew a job....as a Ghostbuster)
Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Lewis and Jannine had a kid...and it is McLovin!)

And the idea of doing it gets worse and worse.

I don't even want this to happen and the people that do aren't thinking this through - Harold Ramis hasn't been a good director in years - Yes he did do one of the funniest movies ever put to film (Caddyshack), but I've read interviews where he blames the American public for not understanding Year One and still thinks it's a funny film. There's no way this for this movie to clear the countless hurdles on the track in front of it, egos being the first 400.
I'd love it if they just went back and did Ackroyds original draft - or a version of it. Ghostbusters in now a franchise - there are station houses all over the place. Our focus should be on a group who are either about to be fired or have already been. A big bad ghost shows up and takes down all the Ghostbusters (even the original crew) and our underdogs have to step up and save the day.

I read a draft dated sometime in 86 or 87 for GB2 that started in the Amityville horror house - the group cleans out the ghosts but it looses money for the guy who bought it - he was charging people to tour the place - this was when they wrote a part in for Eddie Murphy.

this whole franchise would be better left to look at in 10 years when they are willing to give the movie to someone else beside Ramis.

Ahnold of course, he could be a one-man ghostbusters team. A lone buster like in Commando, or Eraser, or Terminator.

CTF

Besides the people who own proton packs, does anybody actually care about seeing this?

Awhile ago I saw a clip of Bill Murry on David Letterman talking about GB3. His leg was in a cast, he had a scruffy/ugly week old beard, was dressed in ratty shorts and t-shirt, he looked and acted like a spaced out hippy. When asked abou a possible GB3, he acted like it was beneath him to even consider it and seemed be of the opinion that if he wasn't included it would be a disaster.

Is it me, or does Murry come off as a bit self-centered/egotistical when it comes to talking about this. I've heard that he has quite an ego, and acts like a prima-donna when discussing any type of project he may be involved with.

From what I've read, Ramis and Akroyd are eager to do this, but that it's been held up by Murry for one reason or another.

Then again, maybe I'm wrong, and the voices in my head have been telling me lies

CTF

From all accounts, the guy is an ass; no matter what the project is.
