Reitman Confirms He Will Direct Ghostbusters 3

Speaking to MTV, Ivan Reitman confirmed he will return to direct Ghostbusters 3. Reitman directed the first two films, which were released in 1984 and 1989.

Reitman said that screenwriters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky had turned in a first draft of the script and are working on a second draft right now. "Good work is being done and all of us have our fingers crossed... There's some very cool things in the new draft," he said.

While he wouldn't comment on recent rumors about the story, he added that he hopes to start shooting in this next year.

'Ghostbusters 3' Adds a Whole New Dimension.... 3-D

The obvious is being reported via Market Saw who writes that Columbia Pictures is moving forward with Ghostbusters 3 in 3D, news that isn't all that surprising considering the upward trend. "Yes - I have word from one of my top sources that a friend of his at a certain well known effects house (I can't say who it is, but their initials are ILM) said that GHOSTBUSTERS 3 is proceeding as planned - but - with the added benefit of stereoscopic 3D!" Can you imagine ghosts floating around the theater in 3-D? Awesome! As we previously reported, Ivan Reitman is tapped to produce and direct (although he has the option to opt out at any time) with Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver all rumored to be returning. The sequel is said to bring a new breed of Ghost Busters into the world. Talk about this news below. Is 3D here to stay or is it just a gimmick? I'd say it works well for a Ghostbusters movie.

Then don't see it in 3-D? Avatar was offered in both and a lot of full length films are that have been coming out in 3D. They have to have both as people don't have 3-D tv's in their house yet.

3D still works whether you have a 3D TV or not. It's all about the image that is displayed. Haven't seen UP, Coraline? They are both 3D and you watch them with 3D glasses. IMO 3D tvs are useless.

Depends on the 3-D method used. If polorization is to be used, its not as straight forward as using the red/blue or red/green glasses, which I think the 3-D TV's are going for polorization or shutter for 3-D, I could be wrong. A movie like Avatar would have to be done non-porlarized method for the average person. After seeing Avatar I think I prefer for the polarized glasses than the red/blue or red/green ones that are out there.

I haven't used the shutter 3-D glasses before so not sure if they really have any visible noise (I'd hope not) and seeem to be bigger than other glasses which I wouldn't want either, and probably require batteries! :p

In an article in the Sunday Mail, Bill Murray has confirmed that he will be appearing in Ghostbusters 3. He also revealed some spoiler-ish details of what he will be doing in the third installment of the sci-fi comedy franchise. You can read those details, after the jump. You have been warned.

It has been long rumored that Bill Murray?s character Dr. Peter Venkman would appear in Ghostbusters 3

as a ghost. Yes, that?s right ? a ghost. Well Murray has confirmed that the only way he?ll appear in the film is if he gets to appear as a dead Ghostbuster. Here is the quote from the Mail:

?I?ll come back in Ghostbusters III only if I get to be a ghost. I said to them, ?I?ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.? So now they are going to have me as a ghost in the film.?

I actually don?t think this is a half bad idea, especially if Murray is only willing to film a scene or three. However, some of Murray?s best material comes out of improv. And I wonder how Ivan Reitman will shoot these special effects heavy scenes, and if the set-up will allow for Murray to stray from the script and interact with some of the live-action actors. You can read the whole interview with Murray on mailonsunday.co.uk.

fame truly has rotted his mind. Him being a ghost sounds so cheesy. In all the films he's been in recently I haven't found him amusing at all. He's lost it. Still can't believe he did that crapfest of movie lost in translation. *shudder*. I watched that with my family and we all thought it was boring. He's dead to me....after ghostbusters II he become "unfunny". This stupid "I want to be a ghost in gb 3" proves he's become a douche lame actor now. :(

I personally found it his most poignant role.

same, imo lost in translation is a magnificent film plus lets also add Bill Murray in Zombieland that cameo made the film just that little bit more awesome!

Once again, Bill Murray says he'll only be in this film if he's killed off in the first reel, and apparently the writers have found a way to make that happen. Mostly, he gives the impression he's not very interested in doing this movie. [Slashfilm]

Murray has been said to be one of the big holdouts for Ghostbusters 3, and with good reason. (It sounds like a studio nostaliga grab; Murray is by far the most vital of the original crew; many doubts about the script.) The second film sucked and there?s plenty of reason to be afraid the third could be just as bad. Murray infamously called the idea of the third film his nightmare and said it?s just crazy talk.

Now, while doing press for Get Low, he?s gone a step beyond, saying that Ghostbusters 3 is ?just a myth.? Now, what he means by that is?

CinemaBlend caught Murray in the proper mood while he did press for Get Low, and in addition to the myth comment he said that the film is ?like the white alligator in the sewer, you know? Who?s seen it, really?? He went on to say,

It?s just really the movie studio. They love the franchise, they?d just like to re-create it again. All this talk is just talk. It drives me nuts, it?s just people talking?Until someone actually creates a great script it?s just hogwash, it doesn?t mean anything. It?s interesting that people are interested in it, they?d like to see it. It was a great thing, it really was fun. Maybe it should. And if it?s such a good idea, then someone will write the screenplay.

ComingSoon got some similar quotes,

?it?s really the world of sequels and bringing these things back again, and then some wiseacre said, ?Hey, we got a couple of new writers who are gonna write something.? And I thought, ?Oh, well, maybe there?ll be some writers? and there was always this joke, sort of a half-true, half-joke thing like, ?Well, I?ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.? That was my joke, you know? So supposedly someone was writing a script where I actually got killed in the first reel and became a ghost, which I thought, ?Well, that?s kind of clever anyway.? But then these guys that were supposedly the writers that were going to do it, they wrote a film that came out and people saw the film and went? ?We?re not going to do it after all, are we?? So it?s just a kind of a dreamy thing.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
