RossK Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Ok yes before you begin the "lies its all lies" I know as well as any body the amount of talk a 3rd ghsotbusters film has had over the past decade . From the stuff about they go to Hell and Ben Stiller would play Peter Venkman or a rookie buster , theres been plenty thrown around . We already know the original cast bar Signourey and Rick Moranis are working together for the video game which is set 2 years after gb2. But as of yesterday the web has been rife with reports all over that the 2 people who write the us version of the office have been hired to start a script. If this is true part of me feels happy ..part feels sad . If Dan Ackyrod has nothing to do with how it turns out...IM VERY SAD. Anyway , truth this time ? what do people think , Source BBC.co.uk Ghostbusters 3 'in development' Two writers from the US version of The Office have been recruited to write a third instalment of Ghostbusters, according to trade newspaper Variety. Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky's hiring is seen as a sure sign the long-mooted comedy will finally be made. Ghostbusters and its 1989 sequel saw Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as bumbling scientists who rid New York of paranormal threats. It is hoped the new film will reunite the original cast. Columbia Pictures has declined to comment on whether a third Ghostbusters was in development, Variety reported. But director John Landis, who worked with Aykroyd on The Blues Brothers and Trading Places, has said the film would definitely be made. "I'm not involved but I know it's happening," he told the BBC News website at the Venice Film Festival. Eisenberg and Stupnitsky recently collaborated with Ramis on the script for his new film Year One. Last year the original Ghostbusters cast signed up to lend their faces and voices to a computer game based on the hit film series. The game's storyline was being written by stars Aykroyd (Ray Stantz) and Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler), who also scripted the first two films. i . hate the internet...lol...search for backing niformation on this brings loads and loads of website surrounding this with so many..different takes on it...Dan Ackyrod denied it...other says he confirmed it......Sighhhh.... i DONT think this is just another rumor , i mean somewhere i think theres a grain of truth in this . But as many sites say there are lots of stumbling blocks , such as Bill mUrrays reluctance to do another one..but willing to voice a CGI one and indeed the video game . mehhh http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/09/dan_akroyd_implies_that_ghostb.html here is video of DAN a few days ago being asked and he says hes heard about 2 young writers making a script. Id say he and Ernie Hudson are the youngest looking still and would be good for idoing it , So could murrary really , just hes got greyish hair. Harold Ramis is quite a bit heavier than the scrawny egon he played not sure how that would turn out . ..I know its likely a new team of busters could be trained in similar to the Extreme ghostbusters cartoon idea.
rokhed00 Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Seen this elsewhere, and yes, they're all a bit old for busting some ghosts, could this be the start of Ghostbusters TNG with them training a new team?
jayseven Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 What about Winston? Everyone always forgets about winston.
rokhed00 Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 What about Winston? Everyone always forgets about winston. Bloody racism, innit?
Cube Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 So a bunch of nobody writers do the film, while the actual people do the game?
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 This was semi announced ages ago [i think I made the topic] but they were saying it would be CGI. Live action would be better. Who knows, they could make live action copies of the Extreme Ghostbusters. Watching the cripple bust some ghosts would be interesting to see. What about Winston? Everyone always forgets about winston. That pissed me off when I read about this yesterday, they mentioned the original three then said "sequel star Ernie Hudson"... Did they forget he was in the first?
RossK Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 I know its a tad odd having the real writers do a game but not a film..? and yeah everyone forgets Ernie Hudson its so true , hes not even been in a ghostbuster game till the new one . in all the nes/gb/megadrive stuff it was only ray,egon,peter no mention of him!!
ReZourceman Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 So a bunch of nobody writers do the film, while the actual people do the game? Nobody writers? What? This is like....the best movie news in years.
RossK Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 Ramis Updates 'Ghostbusters 3' Possibilities 7 September 2008 8:54 AM, PDT | From bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news Let the speculations begin and watch as rumors turn into fact (kind of) as Harold Ramis responds to this past weeks monster Ghostbusters 3 announcement over at the Chicago Tribune. Inside you can read about the possibilities of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson all returning, along with Sony's hopes to bring in the Apatow crew "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........."
Monopolyman Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 It's not going to happen. Written script or not.
ReZourceman Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 It's not going to happen. Written script or not. Have some inside info or something?
RossK Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 au contraie , Ernie is in very good shape for someone who iss 63 ( april 2008 ) Murray,,,well yeah hes got grey hair but to be honest even when he was young he didnt look that young May 2008 Ackroyd , he still looks like Ray ..look at him grooving it up here..ok he does actually have more hair than this.. jsut looks averagley receding iin this frame . Harold Ramis...well....if he like lost...alot of weight.......he'd look fine just a grey haired egon...but sadly this sort of hmm...uhh ...help?
rokhed00 Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Only way this is going to happen is as a TNG introduction. The original crew couldn't weild a proton pack if their lives depended on it.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 au contraie , Ernie is in very good shape for someone who iss 63 62* They could wield proton packs Rok, but for any running etc shots they'd have to big up the CGI-Massive. Which would be awesome to see.
Ramar Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I'd like to think if they were gonna make it, Ackroyd and Ramis would be involved in the making. And if they didn't stick to the original cast, I hope they don't do some stupid follow on; ie son of the ghostbusters or called out of retirement.
Monopolyman Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Have some inside info or something? Nah, I just know it.
Oxigen_Waste Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Considering that the second one was pretty much a waste of time, I'm not really excited about this, like... at all.
RossK Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 lalalallalalala...la... not listening... 2 was great:heh:
ReZourceman Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Considering that the second one was pretty much a waste of time, I'm not really excited about this, like... at all. LLLAAAAMMMMEEEEEEEE.
Ramar Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Considering that the second one was pretty much a waste of time, I'm not really excited about this, like... at all. Sacrilege!! The second was equally as awesome as the first.
Oxigen_Waste Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Deny it, you may... but that's not the truth. Fans and critics agree... 2 was lame. Of course there's bound to be people who loved it.

Ramar Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I can't even imagine fans not liking the Statue of Liberty part in Ghostbusters 2. It's just awesome. Your love, lifting me higher!
