Apologies in advance for freestyling an opening to GHOSTBUSTERS THREE:
Point 1: NOT a passing of the Torch idea.
Slightly sombre opening scenes as the main characters journey to a funeral, we see each main character indvidually en route, except for Doctor Peter Venkman. A large crowd of mourners is gathered around a grave as emotional music swells, camera cranes up to reveal...The main characters are the only ones standing by another grave, far, far to the opposite end of the cemete More

I love Ghostbusters and I love Bill Murray but I don't think that another sequel necessarily needs Bill Murray in it for it to be a good film.
I think that Aykroyd, Ramis, Hudson, Moranis and Potts are a strong enough central cast to carry the movie and there'll more than likely be additional characters which will be introduced as well. However Venkmans absence will need to be somehow explained in way which is both subtle and believable.
I think that Ghostbusters III still has the pot More

After the flippin' awful smack in the testicles that was Blue Brothers 2000, I'm wary of anything Ackroyd pillages from his past. Bill Murray is the litmus test - if he's in, it's because it's quality, if he's out, it's because it's got Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Vodka written all over it. Ghostbusters without Murray is just the Blues Brothers without Belushi, it's Hell Metal without the blue notes, it's the Beatles without John and George, it's a page three model with no breasts, ginger pi More

The trio made the last two films work, more so on Ghostbusters 2 because the film was not to the high standard of the first film. Without that core the third film will seem very empty.

If Akroyd is dead set on doing this movie, and Murray is in fact out, I would do it without Venkman being a character, other than to reference why he isn't there. Recasting the character would be cinematic suicide, and it would do irreparable harm to the franchise. What they should do it what they did with Star Trek: Generations, which was also about one generation handing the reins over to the next one. Generations did not have Spock in it, so it was done without him, with only one referenc More

... so I'm enthusiastic about how seriously Ackroyd is taking the writing. I think it's commendable. Shame Murray doesn't want to do it, but that doesn't automatically mean it will suck. However, they will need a new actor who's at least as funny as Bill Murray ... and there's the rub! They need to think outside the box, like having someone such as Kristen Wiig as the daughter of Louis and Janine. New angles will keep it fresh! More

OK, I loved the Ghostbusters and Dan Aykroyd is one of my favourite people but there is no real need for a third movie. Especially if they're not all on board.
It's just going to be a 3D disaster and more than likely mirror events of the first to keep the key players in and bring back Mr. Stay Puft (undoubtedly the best monster ever).
