So Columbia have announced that Ghostbusters III is happening and Bill Murrary WILL be returning which is just fantastic...if it's true.
But according to Ramis....it might be!
"yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my [Year One] writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing [Year One] and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity."
Mentor capacity. That means Columbia are clearly thinking of creating a new franchise with some new Ghostbusters....which could be interesting. Seeing as Apatow is involved, I'm all for the likes of Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader and perhaps Craig Robinson (Darryl in The Office USA, also bouncer in Knocked Up and frequent face in most of Apatow's line up) donning the proton packs.
Of course, will it work with new faces? And how much will a new Ghostbusters film cost in terms of stars (I imagine Rogen, Murrary, Ramis, Akroyd, Rudd would all add up) and FX.
The FX though have always played second fiddle to the comedy so either way, I can't wait.
As Apatow often says, "We're all the bastard children of Ramis and we worship at his altar." Just hope Reitman is back as well. Perhaps Weaver? Moranis? Hudson? Well of course, he'll be back, he's stuck doing DTV movies these days.
