Hot on the heels of Sony deciding to shoot their new Ghostbusters in the summer, they?ve now lightly applied the brakes. They?re going to be making some decisions about the film this spring, which in all likelihood would preclude a summer start. In fact they?ve said as much.

Per THR, ? Any ?decision? on Ghostbusters III, the long-, long-gestating sequel, has been postponed until the end of March ? this after Men in Black 3 writer Etan Cohen was paid a huge sum for a script. Shooting was to begin next summer but now couldn?t start before fall at the earliest.?

You know, I've been looking forward to this since 1989. When the game was released, I figured things would really pick up because of the attention, and Bill Murray was warming up to the idea, but I guess it stops at the game for us fans.

Looks like the delay is because of financial issues. I don't really get why because Sony has had 23 years to save for this one. ;)

Production of 'Ghostbusters 3' has been pushed back until autumn 2013 due to financial issues at Sony.

Financial issues at Sony Pictures have reportedly forced director Ivan Reitman to push back the production of the horror spoof franchise's third instalment until next autumn at the earliest

By the time this one is finished-- Bill Murray will be the Ghost in the Ghost busters.

They should probably get the people to do the voices and have a computer generated "live action" based on the first movie.

That has always been the problem with this franchise...

they waited too long for the sequels.

I remember after the first one people wanted a second one, but it was too long after the first and didn't make as much as the first. The only thing that made that one to me was the casting of the guy who restored the paintings.

Following the tragic loss of Harold Ramis yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter now has an update on the status of Ghostbusters III, which, according to their sources, is now being slightly reworked to remove a Ramis cameo.

 

Although plans had been for Ghostbusters III to shoot in Cleveland this year, the trade notes that the script still isn't quite ready to move forward. Ramis' planned involvement is said to have been minimal, however. The storyline will instead focus on a new generation of Ghostbusters with cameos from the original stars written into the script.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
