Ghostbusters Rumours Still Swirling Harold Ramis says it happening Source: Coming Soon
The guys over at Coming Soon talked to Harold Ramis, director of Year One and former Ghostbuster, and they asked him about the prospects for Ghostbusters III. Here's a little of what he had to say.
"I wrote the story for the new movie with them [Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg], and Dan [Aykroyd] and I've been consulting. We're just waiting to see a first draft and where we are. Everyone says they'll do it, they've all said they'll do it. No one has signed anything yet--we haven't signed anything either--but there's the spirit of willingness in the air."
That "everyone" appears to include Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson, but Ramis stressed that everything is an "open question" until the script's been finished. He's also not sure if either he or Ivan Reitman will want to direct, but left that open as well.
For the full interview, head on over to Coming Soon at the link above. But as the rumours roll on, are you excited at the prospect of Ghostbusters III?
Ramis says Yes, Protoncharging says its fell on its face again, Ghostbusters the Video Game shows you how successful it is, also why are they taking in the US Office script people, Akyroyd and Ramis wrote the script for the game, and the story line was brilliant for that. No modernisation, keep it like Ramis said, no fancy effects it aint a scifi its a comedy horror ... Read More
I for one can not wait for GB 3 to get the green light. I know they will have some problems getting a script together as they would probably need to make it a kick ass film to watch and make it as iconic as the last two. But saying that, there a few clues around to suggest that there will be a film out. If you watch the tv adverts, they use the GB theme tune on the 118 adverts and they use proton packs in a well known car manufacture advert. I say this because for exactly the same well known car...

I love the Ghostbusters films, the first one is obviously the best, but the sequel is almost as good if you ask me. Sweet, funny entertainment. Anyway, I'd like to see a third film, with Ackroyd, Ramis, Murray and Hudson as the stars. Hope it happens. ... Read More
Provided the original cast are back that includes Janine and Lewis Tully. And they get some of the good modern comic actors maybe Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Sean William Scott, Steve Carell I could see all those guys in those suits!! ... Read More
Yes, I realise it's a sequel. Does that improve its chances of being a good film? Not really
You can pretty much bunch together sequels, prequels, remakes, reimaginings and reboots or whatever you want to call them.
Their prime goal is to make money (I realise that overall studios are primarily interested in making money, and not necessarily great films. However studios are increasingly focused on making fewer films, which have a high brand recognition level, and which are aimed at ... Read More
I do like the idea of just the original cast to make a complete trilogy but have kind of accepted that will never happen. I figure if they make a hand over type film and it is a bit of let down it won't make the first two any less good. It's not like it's a massive saga that can be messed up with midi-chlorians or something. ... Read More
From a real world perspective it's understandable that the original Ghostbusters would now be reaching the age where they would want to either employ new Ghostbusters or sell their entire business to someone. From a purely movie going perspective this will be the biggest mistake that the makers can possibly make with this movie. There was alot to like about the previous films, the original in particular. The ingenious concept, the theme tune, the ghos... Read More
Not sure this is a good idea. Even if everyone is on board, I fear the chances are it may still be awful. I want it to be good. But doubt it will be. Hmmm... ... Read More
