Ghostbusters 3

[Deckard]

Honestly after GBTVG, I really feel the way to go is Pixar like animation with a story set in the early 90's with younger versions of the guys, and them just doing the voice work.

Yeah, my excitement would be seriously muted without Murray's involvement. But really, I don't expect this to be very good if/when it happens anyway. Not that it matters much. The original is always gonna be one of my all-time favorite films, no matter what.

I don't think Ghostbusters is such a great concept that you can just plug in new characters. It's about those guys. People might go see GB4 featuring the old crew but I doubt anyone would go see a Next Generation film.

Look at Indy. Regardless of your opinion of the movie, I think most people agree that Shia Labouf didn't kill it the way they were afraid he would but he ultimately added little/nothing and his inclusion just took away from the Indy we wanted to see more of. Mutt Williams spin off? Not happening.

I could dig that.

Worse comes to worst, we can just pretend this one doesn't exist.

I agree. The charm of Ghostbusters was the characters, their relationship to each other, and the humor IMO. The chances of re-capturing that is gonna be slim to none with new guys I reckon. Honestly, the main (only?) reason I would really be interested in a new film is to see the old crew back together one more time.

That's how I deal with all the ____ty Muppets products produced over the last 20 years.

i was thinking the same thing, with going with pixar. I think that would be amazing. They can really extend the mythology of the ghostbusters, like the video game. I loved the game. I thought it would have been a perfect third movie installment. NO matter what, i will go see the 3rd film. Ghostbusters is one of my top 5 films, but if bill murray is not involved or "killed" off early. i just wont like it.

id rather the ghostbusters be immortalised as they were in the 80's. i dont want to see them get old! pixar cgi would be fine with me, something similar to this. Oh, and killing off venkman is just stupid, even if he comes back as a ghost. If anyone it should be ray, he'd probably love it, and find it fascinating doing little experiments, or louis tully just for comedy effect perhaps?

I would take this with a grain of salt considering it came from the National Enquirer. But it's pretty funny if true.

Hard to believe it’s nearly two years since I told you how frustrated DAN AYKROYD phoned old pal/“Ghostbusters” co-star BILL MURRAY – who kept blocking the long-awaited remake with snarky script complaints – and snapped: “Stop acting like a jerk!”

NEW SCOOP: Murray just made like a jerk encore…and now it’s OVER! To recap: Aykroyd, Murray, SIGOURNEY WEAVER and HAROLD RAMIS had all agreed to rebirth “Ghostbusters III” – but Murray, who’s got script approval, kept refusing to take producers’ phone calls after they’d send rewrites.

Then, after they sent him the latest reworked screenplay weeks ago, Murray fired back his shocking answer – nailing the coffin shut forever – by sending Dan and Harold a box containing the new script SHREDDED into confetti, along with this nasty note: “No one wants to pay money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts!”

Insiders say furious Dan and Harold vow that Bill’s off their “who ya gonna call” list forever – and they’ll make the movie WITHOUT him!

Thanks Batty. I have an enquiring mind. And enquiring minds want to know such things.

 

[Batty]

I get most of my news from the National Enquirer and the Weekly World News.

 

[YoNoSe]

It's the only paper that would carry the news of my birth.

Murray was willing to run around and play Ghostbuster with the cast of Zombieland for a few scenes. That must have really p-ssed off Aykroyd and Ramis.

Zombieland showed how funny Murray still is. I would love to see him star in a comedy again.

 

[karamazov80]

I think he was damn funny in some of his Wes Anderson roles. His humor is more deadpan nowadays than it was in the past, though.

 

[Kamandi]

Murray reminds me of Steve Martin. Martin hates to admit to himself that people love him for being funny. He's a fine actor, but people really want to laugh. Murray does the same thing. Murray can do drama but people really enjoy when he gets stupid.

 

[Sachiel]

"If we can get the script to Ghostbusters 3 right, then it would definitely have Moranis as a major component. None of us would want to do the movie without having him as a participant."

Even more intriguingly, Aykroyd hinted that Bill Murray may not return as Peter Venkman, and that the character could be played by a different actor, a la Jack Ryan.

"The script must be perfect. We cannot release a film that is any less than that. We have more work to do."

Vague, granted, but there you go. As for the internet rumour that Murray recently shredded a Ghostbusters 3 script and sent it back with a note that said, "No-one wants to pay money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts", Aykroyd denied it with vigour.

"Bill Murray is not capable of such behaviour. This is simply something that would not be in his nature. We have a deep, private personal relationship that transcends business. We communicate frequently and his position on the involvement in Ghostbusters 3 has been made clear and I respect that. But Bill has too much positive estimation of my writing skills to shred the work."

[Biojex]

You don't recast Billy Murray.

Rick Moranis

 

[Deckard]

Murray is officially out and done. Aykroyd himself has finally admitted it. This is back to not happening and with rumors like replacing Venkman and casting Anna Farris all I can say is, God I know we don't see eye to eye, but thank you so much for this one.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/9097816/Dan-Aykroyd-a-comedy-legends-spiritual-side.html

"The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn’t want to be involved."

"It’s a surety that Bill Murray will not do the movie, however there is still interest from the studio.” Aykroyd looks pained."

 

[crows]

Murray is really pissing me off,
they should make his character a ghost and do it CGI, recast the voice, There, problem solved,

I want to see this movie, I don't care, sure it might suck, but, is ghostbusters, i want to see this being made,

 

[Wanderer]

It's pointless makin another with only part of the cast and particularly missing the main cast mbr. This would be a massive mistake IMO.
Reboot maybe but please don't ____ it up
