Ghostbusters 3 (Rumours and Discussion)

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

I don't think he should be in gb3 at all, it sounds like he doesn't give a toss. Why would he want to be killed off in the first part of the movie?

It sounds to me like hre REALLY cares. Like he holds the original up as the awesome film it was, the icon it was (I agree). Then he feels the 2nd was a let-down (again, I agree), and he doesn't want to tarnish it further!

Also, to him it's a job. Nobody has ACTUALLY booked him yet, so he is simply saying "Nothing is happening yet, so I don't see where all this talk is coming from".

I've never understood why so many hate GB2, I loved it just as much as the first, the villian Vigo was much better than Zool / Goza. I remember seeing it at the cinema as a kid and it scared the crap outta me.

Both Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd seem to be under the impression this film will start filming this fall, for a release in late 2011. Too bad nobody's told Bill Murray that. [Proton Charging]

Corrected. ;)

GQ has a great, monster interview with Murray (motivated by Get Low, which is a great little film) and Ghostbusters 3 is naturally brought up.

It?s all a bunch of crock. It?s a crock? Harold Ramis said, Oh, I?ve got these guys, they write on The Office, and they?re really funny. They?re going to write the next Ghostbusters. And they had just written this movie that he had directed?Year One. Well, I never went to see Year One, but people who did, including other Ghostbusters, said it was one of the worst things they had ever seen in their lives. So that dream just vaporized. That was gone. But it?s the studio that really wants this thing. It?s a franchise. It?s a franchise, and they made a whole lot of money on Ghostbusters.

That was brave guy in a white sheet being confronted by a black security guard. The video was mildly funny.

It’s all a bunch of crock. It’s a crock… Harold Ramis said, Oh, I’ve got these guys, they write on The Office, and they’re really funny. They’re going to write the next Ghostbusters. And they had just written this movie that he had directed…Year One. Well, I never went to see Year One, but people who did, including other Ghostbusters, said it was one of the worst things they had ever seen in their lives. So that dream just vaporized.

I have to agree.. Year One was pretty bad. Well there still goes the dream. :no:

[Ayepecks]

Year One was absolutely horrible, yes. But The Office is pretty good.

I just wish Ramis would write it again.

[sc302 Veteran]

These guys think that the original cast is in and is due out 2012.

this pretty much says it all

Status Updated:

much has happened since then :p

[Rappy Veteran]

Except for the fact that Sigorney Weaver has been contacted about the movie.

Earlier this year she said that she was unsure about whether Ghostbuster 3 was actually going to happen, but apparently she's been talking to Reitman. In a recent interview she talks about a few ideas for the film that we've already heard, but also mentions that she's been contacted.

I've also been contacted, All I said was I really think my little boy Oscar, who went through that traumatic kidnapping, should be a ghostbuster. So I think that might happen.

As for what Oscar would be like in the film she describes him as being "grown up, and he'd be like Zach Galifianakis." Ummm, could you imagine Galifianakis taking on the role of Oscar? That would be so weird. I think Oscar would be around 20 years old now wouldn't he? So they would cast a younger actor that's like Galifinakis?

As far as where the movie currently stands she says,

They're working on the script. Ivan knows what he's doing, so let him work on the script.

She also adds that if the script isn't good then they won't do the movie.

[Razorwing]

They are really dangling us (the fans) like a worm on a hook on 1st avenue.

[venomz3]

original actors are too old.. sequel should have been made 10 years ago or more.. They could have even made 4 or 5 ghostbuster in their time.. but I thing it`s too late now with original actors..

[Richard Hammond]

How is it too late, Ghostbusters wasnt really an action film to begin with they dont need to be running about. If Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, Sly Stallone can do it im sure the original GB actors could.

+1000

The movie was about great humor, and classic jokes. Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd of today (even Ernie Hudson) would make not only a great Ghostbusters on modern times, but a great new millenium take on classic ghost films with all the grownup humor and their mixed goofball personalities.

About making Oscar a central character, well, i dont know about that. I think that ship has sailed. I would concentrate on the next great ghost villain. Even if making Murray a ghost in the film, and tempting him to be an informant from the other side, or an ally for the ghost villain. For Murrays personality, that would be awesome.

My 2c.

It is never too late.. unless you have passed on.. into the containment unit. :p.

Dan Aykroyd was recently asked about his reaction to Mr. Murray?s comments, and in his answer he offered not so much a defense of Msrs. Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, but a defense of the script, which he?s now working on directly.

Dan Aykroyd had this to say about Ghostbusters 3 while promoting his Crystal Head vodka:

I think [bill Murray] was concerned that the writing on Ghostbusters 3 by these guys would not be up to standard, but I can tell you firsthand, I?m working on the script now and those two?Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, [writer-producers of The Office]?wrote Bill the comic role of a lifetime, and the new Ghostbusters and the old are all well represented in it?we have a strong first draft that Harold [Ramis] and I will take back, and I?m very excited about working on it.

[Slash Film]

[Razorwing]

Dan should really get Harold back into writing the draft.

I am scared about the "passing the torch" so to speak onto the next younger generation, but i loved the Startrek reboot, with the right writers this could be amazing and spawn another trilogy of movies, lets face it any Ghostbusters is better than no Ghostbusters.

[Rappy Veteran]

Sony executive Stefano Paganini has what seems like a fairly big update on the status of the project, which is kind of weird because he made the announcement at, of all places, Rome's Ghostbusters Day 2010:

"I spoke about this night with my boss from Los Angeles. She allowed me to let you know that the script of Ghostbusters 3 has been approved so the engine has been turned on!"

[Bloody Disgusting]

Elsewhere, Sigourney Weaver seemed to confirm, or at least lend some additional credence to the reports that Dana's son Oscar is leading a new generation of Ghostbusters:

Yes, I got a call from Ivan Reitman. I think everyone who's involved would love to get together again. I think everyone's working on really trying to create a wonderful original story. I just said, "That would be fun and please make sure my little son Oscar grows up to be a Ghostbuster." And he said, "Absolutely." Then I think he directed this other film and is busy editing it, so it kind of got put on hold. But I would be surprised if we didn't do it.
