Rick Moranis Game For GHOSTBUSTERS III??
I am – Hercules!!
From an ew.com interview posted this weekend with “Ghostbusters” screenwriter/star Harold Ramis:
… According to Ramis, who cowrote and starred in the first two Ghostbusters, a third journey into the comedic supernatural is in the cards. And yes, the original cast will return: Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, and even the elusive Bill Murray. "Everybody said they'd do it," says Ramis …
If Entertainment Weekly isn’t jumping to conclusions, Moranis’ return to the role of accountant Louis Tully is big and exciting news. The SCTV vet hasn’t appeared in a movie since 1996’s “Big Bully.”
More “III” info:
* The script won’t be finished earlier than summer because screenwriters Gene Stupinksy and Lee Eisenberg are busy with their days jobs as senior writers on NBC’s “The Office.”
* Ramis, a successful director (“Caddyshack,” “Groundhog Day”) who has not directed a “Ghostbusters” movie, doesn’t intend to direct the third one either.
* Dan Aykroyd’s “Ghostbusters III” premise that would have sent Peter Venkmen and his crew to Hell is not part of the Stupinksy/Eisenberg version of “III.”

hahahahah
-
....yeah.
-
hope this film kicks ass.
-
No way that fucking thing could proceed without Moranis.
-
I think Ramis' quote has been taken out of context and extrapolated. While he may have said that all the originals will be back, I think what he means is the 4 original GBs will be back. Weaver hasn't really expressed any interest and Moranis has been quoted saying that he's done with the character and acting all together. Check out www.protoncharging.com for more details.
-
Big Bully was his last movie? Ouch!
-
She said no to the video game. Someone told her video games are big now, right?
-
Please, God...no Rudd, Rogen, Hill, or any of that ilk. How 'bout some fresh faces? Plus, original crew still needs to "save the day" at the end of the film before passing the baton. A behind the scenes "Morpheus/wise master" role is not what I am paying to see.

Just sayin thats all... Ghostbusters without Ripley would be like a handjob without the money shot....
-
I sure hope this movie gives his carreer a renewal. I'd love to see him in new projects.
-
'Nice doggie. Cute little pooch maybe I have a milkbone.' 'Do you wana play super mario brothers?' 'I was born to wear this stuff' 'ok who brought the dog?' 'Yes have some'. God I love louis.
-
Maybe.
-
It'd be nice to see the new guys do okay, but then get in trouble and the originals have to arrive for the final scene and save the new guys' asses.
-
90 minutes of MOranis playing Parcheesi...
-
Welcome back, you were missed~!
-
Tying something as timeless as Ghostbusters to second rate flavor of the month comics is a surefire way to kill the franchise DEAD. Hire real actors. Pros. Then integrate their story with one that's about your four original GB's. Don't make it a bullshit passing of the torch movie for fucks sake. Bill Murray, Ramis, Hudson and Aykroyd should be the main event here, but with support from great comic ACTORS like Sam Rockwell or Jeffrey Wright. NO Seth Rogen, NO Paul Rudd, NO Michael Cera. NO Kirsten Wiig. NO Jonah 'Funny as cancer' Hill. NO APATOW!

Hey this is real smoked salmon from Nova Scotia, Canada
by biffs_pleasure_paradise
$24.95 a pound! It only cost me $14.12 after tax though. I'm giving this whole thing as a promotional expense, that's why I invited clients instead of friends. You having a good time, Mark?
-
Fat unfunny fuck.
-
And I'm not holding my breath about Rick Moranis. Great if he's in though. Would love to see him as in the field GB providing legal advice and making clients sign wavers and stuff... really protecting the crew from litigation as they go about destroying private and public property. But I think the author of this piece was extrapolating on a comment which may not have been intended to include Rick at all.
-
If one of your major claims to fame was a really popular movie, damn right you'd come back for a sequel.
-
Bring back the comedic has-beens, because this will certainly guarantee that the kids will fill the seats on opening day. Geez people, it's time to move on to a new generation of actors...
-
Nursing assistant's from a nearby nursing home will be on set around the clock, incase one of the actors needs to be fed or have there depends changed.
-
Comedic hasbeens? Try iconic legends. ...As for a 'new generation' of actors, fine, the new generation should be making their own mark. They should be coming up with projects that will be the next Ghostbusters. But they're not. Because the current crop of successful comedians suck.
-
Not in the happy way. How dumb do you look typing that. People know you commented first by it being first you fuckin nerd. No one cares.
-
People who complain about first posts are even worse. So how much must I suck?
-
Hilarity.
-
I've got nothing against Rick Moranis —huge SCTV fan here — but why include Louis in the new story? His arc was over once Gozer was defeated, so what's the point of dragging him into the thick of things other than to satiate viewers who can't accept sequels without all of the familiar faces from the initial installment? The same can be said of Sigourney Weaver's character. Just give us the Ghostbusters dealing with ectoplasmic threats as only they can, and for fuck's sake give them a good script and no Apatow Pack "stars." Yeah, I know Hollywood has all but done away with considering a quality story before seeking to satiate what they perceive as what the audience desires — INDIANA JONES AND THE CAVE OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL-FUCK, anyone? — but one can still hope...
-
I've wondered what happen to one of the greatest actors ever. Viva la Little Shop!
-
It's Hollywood. Of course they're gonnna fuck it up. We all need to learn to lower our standards.
Oh, and the unfunny young actors of today will be in it. Some of them anyway, that much you can bet. -
They probably didn't even have to ask him.
-
I just have to ask: was there anyone, anyone at all, who actually enjoyed GHOSTBUSTERS II? I know I didn't, and considering how long it's taken to get around to another sequel, I'm betting I'm not alone. I know there are a lot of people out there who hold fond memories of films and TV shows they saw during their childhoods in the 1980's — how else to explain the cult of THE GOONIES? — but is there anyone who holds GHOSTBUSTERS II in a special place in their heart?
-
Is either judd a. Himself or seth rogen and someone should tell rogen that just because he is skinny doesn't mean he can play a superhero. The green hornet was fit as fuck. Abs muscles which this douche ain't got. Just because you slimmed down doesn't mean you are toned enough to play the part and your arms look weird now due to fast weight loss
-
Go with the one black guy in the crew, I hope they go the Terry Crews route rather then the Craig Robinson route. Crews is light years funnier then Craig. Or Greer Barnes or Chappell. But that would mean Greer would have to become famous and they would have to find where ever Chappell is hiding. Tracey Morgan would work as well, and Red Grant, but PLEASE PLEASE! Don't be fucking lazy and just get Craig, just because. Get someone with some real talent. I like Craig just fine, but he's the same thing over and over. Man if they got Greer Barnes or Chapelle that would be awesome.
-
You're HI-LARRY-US!
-
expect half the movie to center on how Dana has become a shrieking harpy, and Venkman has to grow up and learn to be a 'real man' so he can handle their child... except he was always a 'real man', and it was really always Dana's fault for being such a PMSing bitch who can't handle a man-boy. Look for the other half of the movie to involve Seth Rogen sitting around with Slimer, smoking pot and commenting on whether or not Slimer is Jewish. I love 40 Year Old Virgin, I even enjoyed Knocked Up, but after seeing the trailer for Funny People, I just feel like, is this all this guy can do? It's the same fucking film over and over again, just rearranging the characters and the parts. I don't think any of these guys could ever do something like Trading Places, Ghostbusters, or Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Hell, they couldn't even get far enough away from their formula (and it IS a formula) to do something as original as National Lampoon's Vacation. There's something about all their characters that either smacks of preachiness or lack of maturity or having 'lived' passed the age of 21. For instance, I CAN'T FUCKING STAND the scene in the Funny People trailer where she's talking in the australian accent about how he goes to rub and tugs/massage parlors. Ok, #1) many women like big, buff dudes that act like assholes and treat them like shit, and nothing is ever going to change that. GET OVER IT. What is this, high school? 2) They don't all need to be saved by the sensitive nerd. It's just like nerd fantasy fulfillment, and am I the only one that feels it's condescending at a certain point? Apatow lacks the self-awareness of Woody Allen, wherein a men, at some point, has to acknowledge that a lot of shit is of his own neurotic making, but then again, so is a lot of women's bullshit. Apatow's films are like at the end of Annie Hall, when Alvy rewrites his relationship with Annie, and he KNOWS he did to make himself look better or to apper to be the victor in the relationship. Except Apatow and his characters don't give the knowing nudge. There's something self-righteous about them. And to be fair, I keep saying Apatow and crew, but the same can be said of the things he's produced, and even recent films he hasn't, because he's changed the landscape of American comedy films so much that everything in the wake of his television shows and films has been affected. And for people saying, "Yeah, bring back the has-beens, that'll put asses in the seats." Fuckin A right it will... Ramis is A MILLION times funnier than Apatow, and his films at least have some LIFE EXPERIENCE showing through in them. Fucking Eddie Murphy has been rich since the age of 19, yet his comedy and his films (of the 80's) had a lot more going on than just relationship B.S., pot, and fart jokes. I don't understand that audiences are so willing now to just be satisfied with comedy that's so goddamned bland and the same shit rehashed over and over again. This is especially annoying being that we're living in times where there's a lot of comedy that could be mined from all that's going on around us, yet they don't seem to see it. Funny People looks like they've finally let their gaze fall fully down to their navel as now it's TOTALLY about themselves. Am I the only person seeing this?

cheech and chong would be perfect for the recruits
by hellcomestofrogtown
because they're also old as hell and cheech was in part II.
-
Your just behind a little. We all realized it was just a man behind the curtain right about half way through our first sitting of Knocked Up and realized that there was nothing funny to be had in that movie.
-
Amy Acker, Jensen Ackles, Nicholas Brendon, Felicia Day, Jenna Fischer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Neil Patrick Harris, John Krasinski, Natalie Morales, Lee Pace, Seth Rogen, Katee Sackhoff, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders
-
Just don't bring Moranis along just for the sake of having him. The Lethal Weapon people did that with Joe Pesci, and his presence in Lethal Weapons 3 and 4 was totally unnecessary!
-
This dude was my fave actor as a kid. Ghostbusters? Honey I Shrunk The Kids? Little freakin' Giants? I am STOKED that he is coming back.
-
*Honey I Shrunk My Career* thing...
-
You're not alone. Apatow's comedy is lazy, misogynistic, smug and self involved. It's also painfully unaware of any of those things, which makes it even harder to tolerate. I am convinced that Paul Feig was the brains behind Freaks and Geeks.
-
He needed to leave Hollywood to finish raising his kids after his wife passed away.....I probably would too!
-
At a Bat Mitzvah back in 1993. He couldn't have been a cooler person- I didn't buy his Country-Western album that came out a few years ago, but that doesn't diminish my love for the man.
-
and be in the whole movie because of the ending of part 2. but the best thing to do would be to just make it a direct sequel to part 1, and tell a new story.
-
green moldy fuzzy and rank old staypuff or fail.
-
I thought it had some funny stuff in it, but I've only seen it once... and that was in the theater when it came out. The only thing I remember thinking was that it was kind of all over the place and unfocused... not in a good way, ala Kentucky Fried Movie either. But I'm not gonna lie, I did laugh during the movie and found a lot of it funny. However, I just can't believe that anyone thinks that Funny People trailer looks good. And Series 7, if everyone else realizes it, then where are they when his shit hits AICN? I don't see anyone take him to task other than to say, 'more of the same shit,', etc. Ok, WHAT same shit? What makes it the same and how are other classic comedies different? I'm saying this crew couldn't do a movie like Trading Places because 'class-war' and the stratification of society in America as well as how one can move from the top to the bottom and vice versa, falls way outside the realm of Apatow sanctioned comedy. Speaking of which, what the fuck happened to John Landis? That guy had a pretty amazing run there for a while.
-
just kick me.
Looked him (wiki and imdb) found out about his wife dying.
And how he chose to raise his children himself, instead of foisting them off on nannies.
Here's hoping his comeback is succesful.
Look forward to seeing what he pulls out of the hat... -
Oh come on..you know its gonna happen...for better or worse.
-
No I mean he's a millionaire like ten times over or something. He invested his honey i shrunk the kids money in some business and realized. Hey I no longer have to work ever again. I'm retired bitch!

If Moranis comes back to this, then he had better fucking...
by jacklucas
get with Dave Thomas on a new Mackenzie Brothers flick. That happens and along with Tron 2 I can die a happy little girl.
-
fucked up 2 but the only man to direct 3. Simple. Also, if these guys want to do a third I hope some treadmills will be offered by the studio. "Suck it in guys, we're the Ghostbuster"
-
...who has not directed a “Ghostbusters” movie, doesn’t intend to direct the third one either." - So... no change then. Hmm, noteworthy.
-
I don't know, it's obviously not as great as the original, but it had some funny lines and moments. Actually, some of the shit is really funny, like Moranis - "My clients are under a judicial mistrangement order, that blue thing I got from her. They could be exposing themselves. - Venkman: and you don't want us... exposing ourselves." And Yanosh is hilarious... I love when Murray shakes his hand and then wipes his hand on his sweater. That said, I'd love to see Moranis back in movies. I'd also just like to see a new set of comedy guys that actually do stuff that has nothing to do with what Apatow does. I always thought Bill Hader could be one like Murray or Aykroyd, especially after those whacked out Vincent Price sketches he's done, and the italian talk-show skits. Stuff that wouldn't be out of place during the first five years of SNL, I think.
-
It doesn't take a genius to realize that an aging cast works just fine for GB3. Bringing in the fucking cliche torch passing bullshit is the wrong thing to do with this franchise. End GB3 on a high note, not with some watered down franchise extension.
People want to see these guys literally kick Satan's ass in hell, save the world and die in the process. Now that's how you do things! -
Someone just showed me this: http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=J-7e70uNq5o
-
David Boreanaz, Michael Cera, John Francis Daley, Rosario Dawson, Alexis Denisof, Eliza Dushku, Nathan Fillion, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mila Kunis, Danny McBride, Patton Oswalt, Simon Pegg, J. August Richards, Paul Rudd, Nick Stahl, Martin Starr
-
I wonder if she's still cute. She's Southern, but did a dead-on NYC accent. Most Yankees can't do the opposite!
-
I wouldn't be surprised if some announcements on or near the 25th anniversary are made and not just game related either.
San Diego Comic Con should be very interesting.
BTW Steve Carell as a GB plz!! (Yes have some....) -
THE GHOSTBUSTERS ARE BACK AND THEY IN CONTROL!
-
As if The Ghostbusters sold out to Hollywood after saving NYC in '84. GB3 should reunite them after decades of inactivity when Zuul returns through Dana again. Yeah, that's right, I'll write the motherfucker Ramis.
-
I definitely hope Moranis is back. He's the man.
I like the idea of Hader, Oswalt, RDJ and Chappelle... -
Bring in Luis Guzman!!!

Please come back to the big screen!
-
and have the ghostbusters just about to retire when the shit hits the fan one more time and someone has to deal with it.
-
I don't normally talkback, but I've waiting for someone to instigate it--I actually saw Ghostbusters II on VHS before I saw GB I. And, even though, today I will tell you that the orig is a better film, I can't help but love the sequel and think it epitomizes the 80's and Ghostbusters effortlessly. I mean, where would you've wanted the sequel to go?? It shows all the guys dealing with being older in their profession and on the hot seat with the city. I think it is a severely misunderstood and underrated sequel! Watch it again--think about it
-
At least he'd whip all of them into shape. If they do make a third movie, they should look like how Linda Hamilton did in T2. Ripped.

The torch CANNOT be passed. It's virtually impossible.
by gibsonusa returns
Sure, you can make a movie with Egon and Venkman patting some kid on the back and calling him the new Ghostbuster, but in my opinion its not gonna work. People will reject the originals taking a backseat to some newbie.
I like the idea of the movie starring the original retaking their rightful place on top and ending the trilogy on a high note. Then after that you can "reimagine" and "remake" the crap out of it, and the fans wont care as much. -
if she's naked under that toga...she's French...you know that, right?

Agreed. And why am I drippings with goo?

"No Seth Rogen. No no no,If he's in it, we won't go!"

I did watch it again. Two nights back, right after the original.Sorry, but it's still shit.

New Ghostbuster = Curly replacements in Three Stooges
by gibsonusa returns
Who the f*ck are these guys??
-
Hey guys, it's worth noting that Rick Moranis reprised his role as one of the Mackenzie's in 2007 and 2008 introducing "The Larger Bowl" on Rush's Snakes and Arrows tour. So it's very likely he could jump back into Ghostbusters...
-
"Ghostbusters II" was like "caddyshack II was to caddyshack, like "gremlins 2: the new batch" was to gremlins, like "revenge of the nerds II: nerds in paradise" was to "revenge of the nerds," and like "teen wolf too" was to "teen wolf." In short -- ghostbusters was lightning in a bottle, and trying to recapture it a third time, over 20 years later, is a BAD, BAAAAAAD idea. the next generation of ghostbusters? seriously? ugh. it's been said before on here, but that's just an excuse to give the flavor-of-the month comedians roles in this movie. had this been 2004, will ferrell would be staring in this. had this been 1994, jim carey would be staring in this. since it's 2009, rogan, hill, cera, black, et al. will most likely be staring in this. 10 years from now, we'll look back on GB III and puke. viggo the carpathian? putrid. yanosh? vile. GB II was a complete and utter abomination to cinema -- much less sequels -- and GB WILL NOT BE ANY BETTER.
the slime makes people bad..then it makes them happy? WTF? -

they should also cast jay leno in this. he'd be a friggin' bitchin' ghostbuster. maybe him and viggo can have a duel, whilst slimer and the scalari bros slime people! and then the statue of liberty can come to life again and they can play more crappy music and make an even crappier nes game! -

by gibsonusa returns
Not the experience we wanted.
-
Start GB3 with the "New Ghostbusters" answering a routine ghost call and use notable young comedic actors like Jack Black, Seth Green, Seth Rogen and Zach Braff etc etc...
Then have the baddie/Spectre/Mephistopheles/whatever kill the fuck out of these guys before the opening credits roll. Make it like vintage Sam Raimi gruesome... then bring the original gang out of retirement to mop up and take down the Boss Ghost for the rest of the film.
Spock eat your heart out! -
As long as they bring her back, and make her even nerdier-hot than ever, I'm all for it. In the first one she was just okay, but in GBII she was rocking the geek grrl hotness with that red hair and those really short miniskirts!

by gibsonusa returns
...why'd you go buy that Toyota Scion?
-
good, you agree with me. GB II makes my eyes and ears bleed. every. single. time. what a friggin' effects-driven crapstorm. piece of garbage, completely.
-
That's a great idea!
Start off Ghostbusters 3 with these young new Ghostbusters doing their thing, until the main movie baddie comes out and kicks their butt!
Then the originals come back. -
When the GBs are in the painting at the end. WHAT THE HELLL!!! AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!
-
as the quintessential NY movie. GB II was the quintessential horrible sequel.
-
She had that haircut in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, thus, they gave her that haircut in the sequel. parenthetically, the cartoon was actually better than the live-action sequel.
-
Now, I wonder if the Ghostbusters got sued or arrested for fucking up the Statue of Liberty?Of course they could use that for the sequel ala Rambo 2, open with the Ghostbusters getting out of jail to stop some new ecto-threat.
-
Copycat Ghostbusters that start business without the original's approval or recommendation. All these wannabes starting up and offering to catch ghosts at lower prices than the Ghostbusters.
Basically, the competition and Generation Y competitors with better images put the originals out of business....and each goes off to do their own thing. Until the main movie bad guy appears, destroys the wannabe competitors, and its up the originals once more... -
The young Ghostbusters should represent everything stereotypically obnoxious about arrogant newbies. Bunch of young bratty, individuallistic know-it-alls. The way they act should make the movie audience want to slap them.
You know how, in some horror movies, the teens are so unlikeable that the crowd actually ends up cheering for the monster? Yeah, like that. That will set up the triumphant return of Venkman, Egon, and Ray. -
though i also shat myself wishing Indiana Jones IV would happen too. It would have been a better cinematic world if it ended with TLC.
-
Yup... that would work!
There are so many great directions they could take. The trick is to make it edgy and have adult humour in it like GB1... if they make it more family friendly, like GB2, it will suck.
More of the "Stripes" Ivan Reitman and less of the "Twins" Ivan Reitman.
Jarjarsjockstrap, you are right... Sascha Baron Cohen would be great.
-
I'd like to see the Military work somewhat secretly with the GBs to stop something "big" that's happening.
Some side effects of the supposed Philadelphia Experiment occurring so the Military is "working" with the GBs and at the same time trying to cover up what they did.

He's had some hard luck in life. If he wants to stay away from the limelight from now on, he's certainly entitled.

New Ghostbuster = We got classic Corvettes in the garage...
-why'd you just go buy that toyota scion?
I hope the message is communicated. -
I agree.
I'm gonna have to use Married with Children again. The first few seasons were edgy adult humor...then later on it became a cartoon. GB3 should not fall into that cartoon trap. Back to the basics... -
Yeah man EXACTLY!
The film has to start with the audience rolling their eyes when they see the new GBs and think: "Oh god... this movie is going to be terrible... Zach Braff as a GB?!"
Then BAM! they are toast.
Cut the originals in retirement... Egon beekeeping or some shit, Ray teaching at a university or Venkman continuing his shock treatment ESP experiment from GB1 with some new hottie. -
The new Ghostbusters can all sit around the kitchen table and discuss their favorite moments and lines from Ghostbusters 1 and 2 while the city is torn apart by ghosts.
"Ka-ching, Ka-ching, Ka-ching!"- Jason Segel -
Face it, the old one is way too outdated, even for Ghostbuster purists. I love the idea of the Dodge Magnum as the basis for the new Ecto-mobile. The thing is, that car has recently been discontinued...so if they did it, it would be without sponsorship or whatever. It's the perfect machine for the job though....the Magnum is basically a Dodge Charger, which is used as a police vehicle, so its perfect.
I couldnt think of any currently selling vehicles that would make sense. -
if you haven't finished the script yet then PLEASE revise it so that this film is NOT a 'mentor' type scenario which focuses more on a 'new', younger Ghostbusters team and instead has the original, much loved Ghostbusters gang at the forefront. Thank you.
-
What happened to Jon Landis? He killed two kids and his leading man. Though P. Verhoeven says they are still friends.
-
Rolling their eyes at the new Ghostbusters is exactly how it should be! Maybe even a little sarcastic casting...casting actors that make the audience go "No way!!" lol.
Egon beekeeping made me laugh LOL! You seem to really know the characters. Awesome idea, hope they do it....I can imagine Peter visiting Egon (in his bee suit) and getting bee-stung all over the place...."ow! OW!"
Ray would definately have a web site goin.... -
What else is he doing?
-
Funniest thing I've ever heard.
Rush was I LOVE YOU, MAN'S third choice for "tacky rock act representing the bad taste of grown boy-men." Behind Bon Jovi and Styx. hey, at least they beat out Billy Joel and Motley Crue. -
Lol it makes perfect sense. At the end of Ghostbusters 2 after taking law classes at night school he put on the proton back to save the day..."Don't worry guys!"
He's an innocent guy. It makes sense that now he signed up for police academy and is now a patrol officer. Hilarious scenes of criminal chase and capture can now take place. -
Thats good casting. Funny as hell but he can also be serious. I cant see beleiving Jonah Hill being scared. Neil Patrick Harris would be bad ass too.
-
Re: "...Egon in his bee suit..."
Dude you are funny... perfect mental image! -
I don't really see much of it, but the best I've seen (off screen) was the Tropic Thunder posters. I was going into a theater and passed by an elderly couple leaving the cinema (this was prior to the TT release) as they walked pass the coming soon posters, and the man said (to Ben Stiller's poster) "I don't really see him doing good in action film".I didn't say anything then, but I did see some old people leaving a screening of Tropic Thunder right after the Booty Sweat commercial, and right after Stiller got his arms blown off.. with the question (the old people) "I thought this was a comedy"I'm not saying old people are stupid, but alot of film going persons don't exact get sarcasm.
-
Thoughts? No word on her yet other than she rejected to be in the GB Game.
-
[requisite anger and no edit button, blah][Didn't we have a preview page for posts awhile ago?]
-
BTW: If that shows up in GB3 we totally have to go after the studio for some of the back end box office ;-)
-
Hah! All I want is an awesome GB3 movie! :P
Egon beekeeping in the movie has to be s set-up for something, though. Like, a giant ghost bee that attacks later, or honey as the anti-venom or something. I'll go with the giant bee ghost lol...which would of course involve Peter again. :P -
Ghostbusters is not meta fiction. It's not frickin Scream. I get that you think it'd be a 'clever' idea to cast crappy current comics in this and then kill them in the opening scene... but really, how frickin stupid is that? Just hire the right people. Don't make self referential jokes about how bad a movie it could have been. Because the truth would be this: You'd still have a Ghostbusters movie with Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen and Zach Braff in it. Stay outta the movie business dudes.
-
Egon beekeeping?
...Everyone knows he collects spoors, moulds, and fungus. -
Is very underrated. Its a great sequel. It doesn't try to copy the first but plays off the fact just because we saw them save the day in the first doesn't mean they have a happy ending. They are all seperate and doing their own thing but have to untie again to save a city that betrayed them. The purpose of the courtroom scene is to say they fuck up property but the ends justify the means. Best line in ghostbusters 2 veinkman to yanosh 'well you're not gonna get a green card with that attitude pal'. Also when viego starts monoluging everytime he shows up yanosh goes 'i know I've heard all of this before'. Good shit. It is a continuation of the story from part 1 not a copy cat sequel. Also cheech marin at the pier when titanic shows up. 'Well...better late than never'. Great shit
-
too late man... already in it.
I was being facetious about Zach Braff. -
I hope this is true. And please release Little shop of horrors on Blu-Ray (with the original ending in color as a bonus)
-
When I said sarcastic casting, I didnt specifically mean the casting of "crappy current comics". In my opinion, Ghostbusters fans young and old will have a tendency to resist the newbies no matter who they are. I just meant casting and writing with this acknowledged. I dont think people will accept new young Ghostbusters as replacements, and personally prefer to see them as competitors for the originals.
So you don't find the idea of Egon in a beesuit neat at all? :P -
directed Trading Places, Coming to America, Spies Like Us, and the Three Amigos AFTER the Twilight Zone incident. So it didn't exactly destroy his career, did it? Maybe it's one of those cases of just forgetting what's funny.
-
Start GB3 with the "New Ghostbusters" answering a routine ghost call and use notable young comedic actors like Jack Black, Seth Green, Seth Rogen and Zach Braff etc etc...
Then have the baddie/Spectre/Mephistopheles/ whatever kill the fuck out of these guys before the opening credits roll. Make it like vintage Sam Raimi gruesome... then bring the original gang out of retirement to mop up and take down the Boss Ghost for the rest of the film.
Spock eat your heart out! -
He directed Blue Brothers 2000, which is kind of like killing two kids and your leading man. I guess after having that happen to him twice (thrice if you count the Stupids). But he is dicking around TV these days.
-
Jeez is IMDB really that hard to use?
-
Meh... to each their own.
I guess it's not 2:30am where Benito is, because I think he is taking our early morning ramblings far too seriously. -
it would be great to see Moranis in a movie again, but no Ghostbusters in Hell though? that's a little disappointing
-
Lets face it, in the 80's Hollywood was terrible at making sequels, remember breaking 2 electric bugaloo? The only exceptions were Starwars, Aliens & the Road Warrior. Every other sequel that Hollywood put out was complete shit. In today's era, the sequels are often better the their predecessors. With this cast, today's special effects, top notch writers, and Bill Murray, this movie can not, and will not fail. This movie is going to make truckloads of money.
-
When compared to shit sequels from other franchises I think we lucked out. Also Im glad they abandoned the Hell idea, that would have been a disaster.
-
And the Rockys were a mixed bag but people love em.
When I think of crappy sequels I think of alotta 90s movies. -
Gremlins 2 sucked?? Did we watch the same movie? I thought Gremlins 2 was fucking hilarious. And seriously, nothing beats watching hundreds of gremlins in hi-def crawling all over the screen. It's definately one of the most under-rated sequels out there.
-
Moranis for President.
-
Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, one of those Harry Potter sequels was okay--I'm drawing a blank?
The only sequels that are straight-up classics were made in the sixties, seventies, and eighties. -

I bumped into Ray Parker "Jr" last week on the way to the welfare office. Whilst we were waiting in line I asked him how his job search was going to which he replied "Man, those busters sure ain't making this mother fucker FEEEEEEL GOOOOOD". "Oh, why's that?" I politely asked. "Cause they've been filming in a secret underground bunker without me?" "Really, where???". "Just around the corner from ma crib, Bitch. Tell you what bro, you wanna crash that GB party with me. Shit, we could maybe get in the film together. You and me. What do you say?" I'd already signed my name and was only going to head to the Pakistani convenience store for a bottle of cheap vodka, so I said... "Let's go Bust some Busters, Bitch!" Anyways I followed Mr "Jr" to a back alley several blocks away. It all looked as bit scary to be honest as we traversed through HIV infected rats and crack zombies until we came to a small opening in the ground. "Down there Bitch." Said Mr "Jr". "We're going in there?" I nervously asked. "What's up gangster, you afraid of the dark or something?" "Fuck it Ray, let's go bust some ghosts!" Ray smiled, exposing a chunk of rotten carrot between his teeth and jumped down into this dark hole. I crazily jumped down after him excited to finally be able to meet the gang of '84. However the moment I had landed a pair of hands grabbed hold of my pants and began pulling them down. Naturally I protested and quite frankly was a bit shocked to think of a Ghostbusters trying to put the frighteners on my ass. The next thing I remember was Uncle Ray thrusting his arm up my anus and screaming "You're mine now mother fucker, you're all mine. How's it feeeeel, DOES IT FEEEEL GOOOOD???" It was at that point that I passed out. I awoke several hours later in a pool of Parker jizz and realized that I had just been busted good and proper. Let that be a lesson to all you fellow GB fans out there. I hope that the new Busters movie ain’t quite as painful .
-
sorry its Ramis...im embarrassed. sorry aicn for calling you out.
-
Spiderman 2, X-Men 2, The Two Towers, Pirates of Caribbean 2, Rambo, Bourne Ultimatum, Bad Boys 2, just a few off the top. Also, you can add Star Trek, Terminator, and Revenge of the Fallen to this list too. These will all be kick ass sequels/prequels.

She would look good with just normal long hair, kind of like the cartoon but de-80s'd.
-
Not Ghostbusters:Salvatiion or Ghostbusters: Tokyo Drift or whatever. Just Ghostbusters III, with maybe a tagline after that.
-
just that Murray, Akroyd, Ramis, and Hudson are in. And I was a big proponent of the Ghostbusters Go To Hell idea, too bad they can't use it... I mean, the idea of Purgatory being all around us, but is like film, in that we see the world at 24 frames per second, and Purgatory is in between? And that the Ghostbusters have to go to Hell to make whatever is wrong right? And that Hell is in New Jersey? Maybe someday

I'm not totally against the idea of "young Ghostbusters".
by derlanghaarige
Just make sure they don't get more screentime than the original crew, let the old Busters rescure the young ones in the end and don't cast Seth Rogen as one of them.
-
I'm sure it will be Ghostbust3rs. ;)
-
Welcome back Rick Moranis! Eh!
-
would be awsome.
-
yeah I'm dissapointed theyre not using the hell idea - that idea alone sounded better than anything wed seen from both films. then again, a smaller/personal story that ramis is implying might be better for gb3. after such a long time, we wouldnt want to see characters play second fiddle to a gimmicky plot. maybe for gb4
-
I'll go see this movie for the return of Rick Moranis he was always one of my favorites as a kid. Any news if Slimer is going to be in this movie- you kind of have to include the guy. BTW the REal Ghostbusters was a kick ass cartoon and anyone who disagrees is a stupid fuck
-
It's so fucking expensive though!!!!
-
for years. He just couldn't shake it. Also, he's still in a coma. They'll be propping him up like "Weekend at Bernie's" in order to film his scenes. Beats having Sweetchuck wear a Nixon mask, I suppose.

Cast Seth Rogen as GIANT SETH ROGEN for the climatic scene
by unapatowzing
Come on. The first movie ends with the Marshmallow Man. The Second one has the Statue of Liberty. It's a pre-requisite that a Ghostbusters movie needs something gigantic marching through Manhattan for the climax. At the end of the third one, how 'bout they conjure a hundred foot Seth Rogen to fight? And he doesn't talk as he lumbers down the street, he just does the annoying laugh.
-
Before...after. Before...after.
-
I hated that they hooked up Janine and Louis in II. Also hated that they switched Janine from the snippy librarian look of the first movie to the red-haired ditz like the cartoon.
-
'nuff said.
-
Unless you do want to count direct-to-DVD, then you can could Brother Bear 2 in 2006.
-
The old guys should not "mentor" the next generation. Instead, create a back-story where Peter Venkman has screwed the rest of the ghostbusters out of the copyrights and trademarks when he realized he could make more money selling Ghostbusters franchises. The opening scene could be a "Franchise Fair" in some flyover part of America. The young ghostbusters are idealistic dorks who get taken in by Venkman's ability to sell snake-oil. When Cthulu shows up to destroy the World, the old guys have to re-assemble because none of the franchisees actually know anything about busting ghosts.
-
...for anything ranging between sucking off a stray cat to Ghostbusters 3 at this point.
-
Compared to the first, yeah...it paled big time. But it wasn't terrible, certainly watchable. The only real cringeworthy thing in it was the finale -- with the walking Statute of Liberty controlled with a Nintendo stick. I'm not really sure how the slime transformed copper, steel and concrete into flexible foam rubber, but whatever. GB III would be great. Of course, after the fiasco that was Indy IV, I think I'd really have to go in with tempered expectations. Too many of my childhood movie loves have been trampled lately (Indy, Star Wars prequels). At least Lucas will have nothing to do with this. Hopefully, anyway.

Moranis bowed-out after making a movie w/ Tom Arnold?
by thegreatwhatzit
BIG BULLY, that's the final cred to his legacy? Moranis, please make a more dignified exit. Hell, a remake of CINDERFELLA would be more graceful (but please don't really think about this option).
-
I'm just not interested in Ghostbusters the next generation. Why can't these guys bust ghost at their ages? Older makes them more interesting, along they don't remake the first film like Dan did with the second film. These guys should established as GHOSTBUSTERS. FUCK ALL THIS NYC sueing SHIT. Ghostbusters are NYC heroes.
-
After all, Akroyd hasn't cut the mustard in years now. But I've got to agree with a lot of comments here. No 'passing the torch' shit - have old and young GBs by all means, but make them both integral to the main plot. And I can live with Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd but FFS keep Cera and Hill away from this. Whoever posted Jonah 'funny as cancer' Hill made me laugh out loud incidentally. Good work.

I love how people are complaining about problems with GB II, making it seem like one of the worst sequels in history--comparing it to Short Circuit II and Teen Wolf Too and even Revenge of the Nerds--not even warranted! Not only was the original GB bigger than all those sequels' originals, but GB II actually had a progression from the first. On the page and in some moments on screen, it looks as if Aykroyd and Ramis had a great idea of where to take the guys: Sued by NYC, Dana and Venkman broke up (as we knew they would), Dana (naturally) found someone else and had a baby (plausible), They all had new jobs, they independently started working on a ectoplasmic problem they felt was dangerous, they go through a trial to get back in business--I mean the list goes on and on...
And, don't talk to me about Statue of Liberty *somehow* walking--we can't accept that--but we can accept a gigantic Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?? They both came from ectoplasmic reasoning. SPMM from Zuul's power--SOL from Viggo's power in his slime. The slime was a terrific idea! It capitalized on the popularity of Slimer in some way from the original.
And, Janosz?? C'mon! He is almost the exact same character-plot device that Louis Tully was in the original!! A nerdy character who drools over Dana, then transforms into helping the villain unknowingly.
I just don't want GB II to further get flamed as it has for tooo damn long! It is a solid movie and a worthy sequel!! -
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh C'thulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"
-
Why so much hate for the film? Yes, it's not as great as the original. But, it was still a lot of fun, and unlike a lot of sequels, everyone returned!! And, it has one of my all-time favorie Rick Moranis lines: "So... you wanna play Boggle or Super Mario Bros.?"Plus, the soundtrack kicks ass... Bobby Brown, Oingo Boingo, Run D.M.C., New Edition... great stuff.
-
A giant Seth Rogen would be awesome. In a "so bad it's good" way. There would be ambulances waiting to take movegoers to hospital after the movie. People would choke on their popcorn and die.
-
and I for one would be excited to see him back on the screen.

-
It didn't take it's self serious. I'm sure it was a blast to shoot, but had none of the feel the first one had. Too goofy. This series would do better if the characters played their normal rolls and brought the humor out, not trying to make the humor if that makes sense. Moranis even dumbed down way to much in 2. He was awesome in the first one.
-
instead do Strange Brew II. Good call, pinkfloyd2000.
-
He's one of the funniest guys working today.
-
Worst Idea Ever
I mean Wow -
T-Rizzle you definitely have me convinced as to GBII's worth as a sequel. Good points! Granted I haven't seen the movie since I was a kid so maybe I'll feel differently if I actually watch it. The point is now I want to see it again! As for Ghostbusters Canada more Kids in The Hall is always a good thing! Can't wait for their new project "Death Comes to Town"! Also, McBride is awesome!
-
I always thought that was weird
-
The guy is so ugly and annoying I can't bear to look at him or hear his voice.
-
hope it dies in developemental hell, but i know theyll keep it going regardless of script's quality..alas
-
you're not alone, man. When I was a kid, I didn't even think they had used the same actor in II to play Winston. He sounds the same, but Ernie hardly looks anything like he does in GB. I'm pretty sure there's a conspriacy afoot. Perhaps The real Ernie Hudson was replaced with an alien close or something after 1984, becuase Anytime I have seen Ernie Hudson in anything since the original GB, he hasn't looked ANYTHING like he does in GB. I haven't gone out of my way to confirm this but every movie I have seen with Ernie Hudson that was made after the first GB has an actor who resmebles the guy who played Winston in Ghostbusters, but certainly isn't the same. His voice sounds the same. His mannerisms seem consistent, but Ernie post-GB does not look the same as Ernie in GB. Granted I haven't seen a movie with Ernie Hudson made between GB and GB II, and maybe this would help show some transition, but until I do see some evidence, I'm sticking close to my "Ernie Hudson clone theory"!
-
Can't wait for Ghostbusters III. I don't care about the plot, so long as all four of the originals are back. Even if only some of the supporting cast, Moranis included, return, that's okay. I would have enjoyed the "Hell" plotline, but this is one of those childhood series for me and I would love to see a reprise. Also, check this out: http://digg.com/d1nrMA
-
If they really wanted to do this right, they would have new ghostbusters such as Seth Rogen, Nader, Rudd, maybe stiller...and have them be absoloutely terrible. Make them hilariously bad. Make Rogen try to fuck some hot female ghost and screw everything up.
They shouldn't even approach this film as franchise potential. Make everyone hate the new ghostbusters. Make them horribly bad and fuck something up big time like accidentally ressurecting staypuff who proceeds to destroy the city. Then bring the "REAL" ghostbusters to clean up the mess. That's how this film needs to be done.
-
What about Paul Rudd, seriously what is there to hate about the guy?
If he was in that would be pretty awesome.
-
He's pretty good at playing cocky and arrogant when called for and could be a decent follow-up/millenial version of Venkman.
-
which could be very cool.
-
it's not that bad, I have some great memories about this movie, and the scene in the court room with the brothers in the electric chairs was pretty cool. I think it's earned it's dues stop fucking with it.
-
It's been THAT long? How is that possible? I thought he was working in the 2000's somewhere...

Barney Coopersmith in My Blue Heaven.
-
I would like to see a rival Ghostbusters corporation go head to head against the Ghostbusters franchise. Call them Spiritstoppers or some other really ridiculous name that Venkman can ridicule. This element also adds a conflict to the story. At first they offer mark up prices and quicker ghost removal. But the old Ghostbusters eventually tromp them and show it how it's done. So the rival corporation starts using underhanded tactics like re-releasing ghosts that they capture to drum up more money. Eventually they become so desperate for business that they use dark magic to open up a gate to the spirit world and produce more ghosts. But by doing so they release some ancient terrible Lovecraftian monster from another dimension. Some of their people get snatched/possessed and they have to come crawling back to the old Ghostbusters to save the day. In the end, Ghostbusters prove their worth and buy out the other corporation.
-
You're so right! There is deception afoot, along the lines of the Eddie Murphy/Bowfinger plot. Somebody, somewhere, knows. They'll say he just shaved off the 'tache, but that's just smoke & mirrors.
-
...could be the new villain of the piece. It gets possessed by excessive negative PKE at Ground Zero.
-
Dude, you know it to be true! What's even nuttier? I just remembered who they originally wanted to play the role of Winston: Eddie Murphy. The co-star of Bowfinger. Damn, this conspiracy is even more twisted than I thought! I'm going to start scouring the Interwebs for clues. If there's one place where doubt, suspicion, and misinformation can be found: it's on the Internet!
-
Best Rick Moranis leading role ever. And Steve Martin is fucking hysterical. In fact, I fucking love "My Blue Heaven"! Now where is the goddam dvd?
-
His skull should be made of crystal and they should keep it on a shelve in an old House where Arye Gross can find it and have adventures with his dead grandpappy. Or perhaps Indiana Grandpa can use it to go find the alien civilization it belongs to in South America. Either way, it's a guaranteed pants-shitting hit!
-
I keep saying it. Also, the first hour of Ghostbusters II is a solid B. The last act is where it all falls apart, and that last scene before the end credits is atrocious.

The restoration of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS--the original ending?
by thegreatwhatzit
Moranis played the lead role but preview audiences loathed the original ending, i.e. the carnivorous plant eats Seymour Krelborn (Moranis' character) and Audrey; upon breeding, the plant subsequently eats Brooklyn and then the entire world! An optional (happy) ending was compromised but the original ("downer") ending still exists, expensive f/x and all. So why hasn't this "long lost" footage been restored to the DVD release?
-
There was a DVD about ten years ago that had the original ending. It got recalled almost immediately, tho. But I found a copy at a Sam Goody, bought it, watched the alt. ending, then sold it on eBay. For like $150. AFTER I had opened it. Awesome. Also, one of my favorite Venkman lines comes at the end of GBII: "Oh, Johnny did you back the wrong horse!" I don't know, it's just so-Venkmanny.
-
David Geffen, one of the producers of Little Shop of Horrors, HATED that ending. He didn't approve of its inclusion on the first run of DVDs, and had them recalled and re-released without it. And yeah, the few first run DVDs that didn't get recalled are extremely rare and valuable.
-
And thats the bottom line. Theres no reason for a female Ghostbuster.
-
Everybody loves a good Rick Moranis movie. With him involved, there's no way this thing ain't gonna get made. NO WAY!!!
-
is a big poopy head. Anna Faris is fucking funny, and that's a good reason for a female GBer.
-
She has already been hired to voice the game...you can bet on her ripe full "C's" being well represented in this.
-
Sigourny Weaver's character could be Ripley's great great great great Grandmother!!! and Weyland Yutani could hire the Ghostbusters to capture the Aliens!! (I am being sarcastic in case thats not clear.
-
I take it you mean 'cans'? Oh, her cans ARE Cs. Got it. Seriously, that confused me for a second. Not very professional of me.
-
shit happens, someone has to deal with it and who you gonna call?
-
for goodness' sake. WHOOOAAAAAHHHH, Somebodies' comin', somebodies comin'!
-
Do I?Yes, have some.Yes, have some.
-
for the info on LSOH.
-
there were brief talks of this happening about 3 years ago with Ben Stiller being the new recruit because the old team was broken up. He tries to get them reunited to save the world once again. I can't remember where I read this, but it was a few months before that unofficial video game demo was made and they were asked to stop. Moranis is a sweet guy and quit acting when his wife passed away so he could raise his kids. I would love to see his return to film! He wasn't the greatest comedian on screen but he had something about him that I miss... same with John Candy.
-
I'm praying it somehow turns out okay, but after the trainwreck of Ghostbusters 2 I have little faith. The original Ghostbusters was an absolute classic.

Whoever mentioned Ghostbusters and Gohstbusters II being analogous to Caddyshack and Caddyshack II has switched on a light for me. I now have a way to explain how much I loathe GBII. Thank you!

Especially when they're mine
-
Ghostbusters is a seminal cultural item for me. Loved the sci-fi as a little kid, loved the humor as a man. Hated GB2. I too am in the anti-Apatow crowd; I'm so sick of them by now. Can the Office writers get Rainn Wilson in, in a non-Dwightish role? I'd love a scene where the stupid noobs are on their first mission, and one of them fucks up with a proton pack and blows them all up. Let's get some fresh ideas!

by hb_dad
How much do you want to bet the baby from GBII will be a new Ghostbuster rookie? He should be dead like that POS movie!!! Hopefully the new movie is a true sequel and not more crap like GB2.
-
There were a couple groan-worthy scenes but there was some genuine funny, too. What pops out most was the 30 second "what to get for dinner" exchange between Egon and Ray.
-
I can understand people getting sick of seeing the same faces in comedies, but Jesus, that doesn't mean that the people involved have no talent. I'm consistently amused by Hader, Rudd, and yes, even Rogan. Get a fucking grip.
-
I would never watch a Dane Cook Ghostbusters. Less undeserved hate for Apatow please, and more deserved hate for Dane Cook.
-
I forget if I already said this, but two-thirds of Ghostbusters 2 is a solid B. Not quite a B+, but a B. The third act is where it becomes shitty (and most similar to the original, when the Mayor comes in), and the last scene before the credits is truly godawful.
-
in the first film.jesus fucking christ.
one hour ago i was watching some ghostbusters related talkbacks in youtube,now i read this talkback here,and what i discover is that many people consider zuul as the bad guy of the film,and even worse that Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was Zuul.
WHAT THE FUCK??are u stupid or something or were on drugs when watching the film?
even in the firs ghostbusters videogame (for atari 2600 i thinkg) the bad guy in the game was called zuul !!! and the angry video game nerd mentions this stupid error in his review. but i guess activision's creators of the game, werent the only stupid ones who didnt understand what were watching in the original movie.
but the worst thing is that many people didnt know that moranis and sigourneys characters had in fact sex in the movie.
there is a deleted scene from the movie which specifically clarify this,with a dialoge between dana and Louis after the showdown.
Lets clear this up.the big bad guy in the movie is GOZER THE GOZERIAN.its the chick with the red eyes who comes out of the gate in the skyscraper.in order to destroy earths realm,she has to take a form first.in this case the form was that of Stay Puft Man,since that imag was popped into Rays mind when the ghostbusters were asked by Gozers,what should be his form.
now Zuul is a Sumerian demigod and minion of Gozer,and Vinz Clortho was an occultist and the architect of the skyscraper where dana lived. Vinz Clortho created the building as a getaway for Gozers arrival.
Zuul had the function of Gatekeeper and Clortho the function of Keymaster.they possesed dana and louis,they had sex which acted as the mechanism for the gate to open and Gozer to arrive.
u get it? keymaster = pennis,gatekeeper = vagina
so what is it so hard to understand in the movie?

I have wished for Moranis' return in GB3. Here's hoping!I would kill for another Strange Brew. Just tell me who you want dead, Rick.

Ha ha ha! That's pretty hilarious that you dedicated a whole post to lecturing people who got the names of the bad guys wrong, then got it wrong yourself. Vinz Clortho was NOT the architect who built the skyscraper. Vinz Clortho is the keymaster of Gozer, a demigod like Zuul. The architect who designed spook central was Evo Shandor, a doctor, who performed a lot of unnecessary surgery.

Because he could. "Could" as in lying around in the finest luxury hotels on the best beaches for the rest of his life drinking margaritas "could".
He made enough money on "I shrunk the"s that he can spend his life doing anything he wants and he isn't driven to work in comedy (which, lets face it, LOOKS easy).
I'd love to see him doing anything, cause he was a terrific performer, but I can certainly understand it if I don't. -
very late, as I am.

And you didn't even realize it. Instead of a giant Seth Rogen in the climax, the Ghost of John Candy should show up. Hell, he could be the size of Mr. Stay-Puft, step on a few churches, then cackle about it, in that signature Cancy-cackle that only he can do. Candy went way too early. GB III could be a great way to bring him back to film! (of course that's all said tongue-in-cheek. Though I did really enjoy Candy in the 80's. I still laugh out loud at The Great Outdoors.)

I can't remember who he was going to play, but one of the roles was originally written for him. Louis Tulley, i think??
