Ivan Reitman Back For GHOSTBUSTERS 3!! But In What Capacity?? + A Plot Snippet...
Merrick here...
With a vast majority of the franchise's original cast expected to/committed to return for a third GHOSTBUSTERS film in one way or another, it should come as no surprise that GHOSTBUSTERS 1 & 2 producer /director Ivan Reitman is also "100%" confirmed to be on-board. Word of Reitman's potential proximity to this movie was floated by MTV A FEW MONTHS AGO (were they the first to report it?)
The Bloody Disgusting piece goes on to suggest that the nature of Reitman's involvement has yet to be determined. I'm guessing this means he could be a producer...a consultant of some sort...or, dare we say it?...he might direct the film?
Bloody Disgusting goes on to offer a hint at how the new storyline gets started:
...the sequel takes place when the paranormal researchers "reopen" their ghost removal service after it has been closed for quite a few years.
...says BD HERE.

New team, Ghost Busters 2 was bad enough and Ivan is done.

STAND BY EVERYBODY I WILL SOON HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
by bringingsexyback
-
"I can't zip my suit closed!!" DOES NOT EQUAL LAUGHS!!
-
I don't know if I can trust Reitman and Ramis to even know what funny means anymore. And Ackroyd's been out of it for so long....I enjoyed the videogame, maybe just as well to leave it at that, huh?
-
Tell me. Also, that plot snippet seems truly idiotic but interestingly mentions nothing about a new team of gangbangers.
-
I couldn't cope with Harold Ramis directing it after the cinematic abortion that was Year One.
-
Hopefully this doesn't tun into 'GB-3D'
-
If the guys who wrote this get anywhere near writing the next Ghostbuster, then Ramis and Reitman have lost their fucking minds. Year One is the worst movie ever fucking made ever.

Start the film on the set of GB2 as if it Hollywood made them do

Can they get it made before the Galifianakis backlash begins?

He's not only the president...he's also a member. http://tinyurl.com/ylbda5j
-
Can someone tell me again why they are making this?
-
I don't care if the story blows or not. I just want one more Ghostbusters movie! Seeing these guys together again is all I need.
-
It may appear on the Bloody Disgusting webpage, but there's no mention of something like "A Hollywood Insider says..." So, take it as bunk information for now.
Reitman expressed interest in an interview on Sept 19th: http://tinyurl.com/ygjf6xn - but hasn't confirmed that this was for sure the case. -
Then Allah came down and punished the Earth for its sins with Year One. Now I don't think I can ever see JB as someone who is funny.
-
This movie has been in development longer than the titanic and avatar combined. Dr.Dre will release Detox before we'll ever see a trailer for this movie.
-
Either Reitman or Vorhees. Either way it would be an interesting film.
-
I still can't believe he's ever onscreen, instead of panhandling for change where he belongs.
-
but they were already DemonBusters.
-
As he made my McCafe Mocha this morning. Mother fucker though put whip cream in it! I SAID NO WHIP CREAM! He was too busy hitting on the 50 year window lady and talking to his production crew who were on set.
-
In GB 2, they're broke, with nobody believing them and everyone suing them. In GB 3, it should go completely the other way, with the original Ghostbusters now overseeing a nationwide franchise, with younger, fitter ghostbusters actually hunting ghosts.
But of course some supernatural threat forces the old ghostbusters to take matters into their own hands etc etc -
He did write Spider-Man 3, after all!
-
Yeah I liked Jack Black. I can see where you wouldn't. I mainly found out about him through Tenacious D though. Like I'd seen some of his stuff before but that was when I really got to know the heart and soul of JB.
-
should direct it

But that ship seems to have sailed. If they made it this year I would support Galifianakis.
-
SAM ROCKWELL, CHARLIE DAY, CHIWETEL EJIOFOR, JEFFREY WRIGHT, JEFF GOLDBLUM, RON LIVINGSTON, GLENN HOWERTON.
-
That's two down. Ok maybe not exactly them but along those lines. A bit of older guys. That was one of the funny things about the original was that they were older out shape regular guys.
-
BILL MURRAY, DAN AYKROYD, HAROLD RAMIS, ERNIE HUDSON, SIGOURNEY WEAVER, RICK MORANIS, ANNIE POTTS.
-
So if they can keep turning that up for a third movie...there's a chance at not sucking.
-
As their liaison to the EPA.
-
He's becoming a pretty well-respected director in his own right.
-
A modern take on his character.
-
Reopening the containment unit should backfire, and a big parallel universe type explosion, turns the old team into ghosts. Or psuedo-ghosts. Then a new team of 'Busters has to bring them back from the other side. You're welcome Hollywood.

by toilet_terror
Déjà vu. We've already seen Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Rambo, Predator, etc. Please come up with something new.
Sincerely,
the Audience -
Now, that would be an original sequel.
-
Just have the Always Sunny In Philadelphia gang do it. A drunk DeVito could say he just saw Ghostbusters on tv and has come up with a great money making sceme.
-
With Damian Lewis as his son.
-
It's not the horrible wreck that some are making it out to be. The first movie is, of course, better. But that was like catching lightning in a bottle. You couldn't do it that way again. GB2 is quirky and funny. It is more subdued than the original, but not in a bad way necessarily. A lot of humor comes from dead-panning really strange lines: "Next, let's take away the puppy" for example. The Janosh character is such a peculiar little guy. Vigo was just the right balance between menacing and cheese. BUT I will say that I would have liked more interaction between the Ghostbusters. There was a little too much Louis, Janine, Janosh, and even Dana--even though there were laughs to be found in those scenes. But to say that the movie is horrible and not funny is just not accurate.
-
I don't know if you're joking, but I'd watch that movie in a heartbeat. Especially, Charlie Day. It's Always Sunny is all the funnier just because of him.
-
and I think 2 is pretty reasonable. Even if they did something on that level I would be impressed...
But I expect this will be a total fucking disaster just like BB2000.
The original team have all completely lost it aside from possibly Murray and sadly Rick Moranis seems to have completely left acting.
I could understand if Reitman didn't direct this. If he fucks it up he will have a George Lucas level of hate directed at him.
I haven't seen Zombieland yet, but with all the kudos its getting maybe they should get the director of that to do GB3 -
Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters were better than any movie sequel could ever be. That's where this concept should have gone, into television, because the central concept is just begging to be expanded and deepened in the manner only television could pursue.
-
Why not make the new one conceptually different?
-
I think he would fit ok too.
-
I'd prefer to start with it being a global franchise, with Venkman playing the president of the company, Egon in the labs and Ray & Winston training the new recruits.
If the plot calls for them to start again from nothing, maybe Venkman could get the business wiped out in the financial crisis after making some unsound investments? -
If they have to have 1 real young guy in it. That could also make for some interesting character stuff with him and Venkman with some "you're not my Father" kinda stuff.
-
The idea of Ghostbusters 3D has got me all giddy with anticipation. shame it probably wont happen. Ivan to direct!
-
If you just nodded you head in agreement with the suggestion in my post title, i will hunt you down and murder death kill you.
-
thats such a great idea...thanks...this has blues brothers written all over it.
-
Will be in the film, but hopefully on the side as the characters will be too young to get funny guys we like in the roles.
-
That G2 didn't even happen. And the female ghostbuster team, the Apatow new recruits, are both bad ideas. Fly to the land of dreams, use your wonderful imaginations, COME UP WITH A DECENT IDEA FOR ONCE!!!

Has he done anything remotely decent or interesting since Grosse Point Blank? He was fantastic in that and to be honest I was impressed that he displayed he still had talent at that point, but even thats 12 years ago now.

How about someone finds a video of the Ghostbusters on their last case? It is so frightening and we think the Ghostbusters are dead. And then Paramount does a shitty "Show Ghostbusters 3" in my area website?

All you need is Zombieland for all your G-buster fix
by disney_retcond_my_std
-
please
-
rainn wilson?? Are you fucking kiding me. Hopefully once the Office is done he just dies, that dude is comedy kerptonite outside of the Office. As Dwight he's fine, he'll never move beyond that.
-
He'll have a reboosted career as a b-lever reality star somehow.
-
Yes. Very much yes. If someone smart and talented is going to write this, you will give Steve Martin either a cameo or make him the bad guy, and you won't make it suck.
-
He can only spooge off his dads good will and money for so long. His movies are shit and terribly directed. They aren't funny, for some reason critics have to have his balls in their mouth. Unless you want all the new Ghost Buster's to be terrible people that we should root for, and once the movie is made have them all talk about what an indie movie it truely was. Then sure let that little ass fuck direct it.
-
And Reitman might not even appear on the film? Not good news.
-
I always wanted to see the sequel where the Mac kid and his nerd buddies get to crew the ship with Tim Allen as their captain. Galaxy Quest is really the only Trek movie I need anymore.
-
And Ricky Gervais haha that will never happen. It would be sweet though. You know they are looking at Michael Cera and those other morons. I'd rather the cast of Zombie Land just come in and be the ghost busters. Woody as a GB would be hilarious. I'm looking forward to this though Ghost Buster make me happy.
-
star in the fucking movie!!!
-
...I'd be cool with Rogen or various assorted Apatowites ONLY if they leave that "throw everything at the wall" improv style at the door. You know, like every scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall with Bill Hader, endless half-funny similes and metaphors. But whoever mentioned Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton is GENIUS. Charlie Day is the funniest person currently on the planet. -
so please, please, please everybody involved, bring your motherfuckin' A-game and don't disappoint us fans!
-
One of the worst and most overused sequel ideas is the "after their resounding success in the first movie they are now down on their luck" trope. Empire Strikes Back got it right but that's about it. Didn't we see this tired scheme play out in GB2? I'd much rather see a universe where the Ghostbusters have been kicking ass for 20 years.
-
no Rick Moranis? I'm sure he could use a couple of bucks.
-
"...they are now down on their luck" Best example of this I can think of is the second season of The Wire. And the fifth season, kinda. I sorta doubt that GB3 will be that good, but it can be done right.
-
Love to see them bust some ghosts.
-
Not super rich, but they're doing well. Only thing is - they miss the hunt. So when a new team gets in trouble - they're thrust back into action. Or something. Whatever.
-
Gee, I thought they were going get together for a couple of hands pinochle over drinks. Reopening "quite a few years later" is the obvious way to handle the passage of years since GBII. I think it would be funnier if they've kept it going all these years but it's become so goddmmned routine that everyone's older and fatter and bored out of their minds. Then along comes an "end of the world scenario" that challenges the GB geezers to be their best one last time. Oh wait... that's GBII isn't it?
-
In midicority in movies? Most people coming out of either directing or writing the office have made nothing but shit on film. Year One (soon to be the team behind Ghostbusters 3, think about that), Lisence to Wed, He's Just Not That Into You, Rocket Science.
-
..could be the other two. Would be ridiculous.
-
Give this to Jackson Public and Doc Hammer from The Venture Bros.
-
Yeah so I guess you guys don't want producers to give the makers any money then?
-
There is no plot on that show. The "funny" thing is they all talk to the camera, but how could they even function in an office if they do that all day?

Will FarrelPaul RuddJohn C ReilyRomany MalcoSteve CarellCarell isn't sure he can slip away from the office, so his part may be recast (Micheal Cera is said to be Rammis' favorite choice)There will be 5 Main characters this time aroundHill is in the movie but he won't be a ghostbuster rather he's a character more akin to Rick Morranis' chracter in the first one (He's important to the plot but not a main actor)The big thing with this movie is going to be cameos, seth rogan pitched an idea for stoner ghost of himself and James Franco's characters from pineapple express Sasha Baron Cohen also joked that he would love to play slimerThe thing that kinda bugs me as a fan of the originals is that this is being hyped as a reunion when in fact the script ideas floating around are actually a sort of Ghostbusters the next generation with only small cameo's from the orginal cast and a plot more aligned with rebooting the franchise into a money maker again.I'll keep an eye out and if i get a look at some form of finished script i'll be sure to let my friends here know about it
-
Totally made me spit.
-
He's real good. His problem is that he spent years wading through shitty films. The man has 'big comeback' written all over him. Probably (hopefully) not in Ghostbusters 3 though. Plus his Crystal Skull wine commercial was better than Indy 4. SPIELBERG < ACKROYD
-
I now realize I just spelled his name wrong about ten times. AYKROYD.
-
I thought many of the rumors of early GB3 ideas all centered on Venkman being dead, and now being a ghost.The GB movies have always been very closely tied to NYC. I liked Akryod's idea of the end of the world approaching, and NYC becoming "Hell on Earth". They hint at it in both movies, but didn't have the effects budget.Proton packs can't help you much when you're literally surrounded in an entire city of the dead.
-
You're probably just a fucking idiot troll, but don't fucking talk smack about the man who brought you:
Indiana Jones
Close Encounters
Jaws
Empire of the Sun
Saving Private Ryan
Jurassic Park
Munich
Schindler's List
etc., etc., etc.
You shut your dirty fucking mouth. Indy IV was a terribly flawed film, but it wasn't the direction. It was Lucas and his stupid-ass story decisions that Spielberg had to work around. And for everyone who bitches about the CGI, they probably have no idea that films was predominantly practical effects. Watch the "making of" stuff on the BluRay. -
Despite who we want, the studios will push for younger actors with franchise potential. Hollywood always wants younger actors. I hope we're all over Jonah Hill, but expect some Michael Cera, and maybe some Andy Samberg.
-
Indy 4 was directed by a computer in a broom closet at ILM.
-
If he 'brings me' something though, I'll be sure to get an autograph.
-
I have to disagree about Akroyd not doing anything noteworthy over the past few years. I thought he was hilarious in I now pronounce you chuck and larry and he was unbelievable in Sgt Bilko.
-
I feel dirty and ashamed for mentioning Bilko on a site of movie fans. I can't apologise enough.
-
Not even funny as a joke! :P
-
At first i was like FFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK........ here comes some half-assed attempt to put new young hip "comedians" in other echoes of Dan Akroyd and Bill Murrya- but that list I would go see. Just as long as they can work in "...Dickless here shut us down!- Is this true?- Yes- this man has no dick." somewhere.
-
I used to hate the idea of introducing new, younger replacements, but now all I'm gunning for is that the movie is good, no matter who is in it.I hope they can clear enough finance for an FX budget so that this is as big in scope as it should be.As long as it's played straight, with a few laughs/memorable lines, a bit of action and genuinely scary, it should be a hoot.Here's hoping!
-
what they did in GB2. WTF?
-
Well wishes; positive thoughts; break a leg; Be well; Here's To You *toasts* ... Nuthin' but Net.
Good luck, guys. -
From what I hear,Reitman was a lot of the problem on GB2. The first Ghostbusters kind of had some balls and a little bit of edge to it-GB2 was a bunch of old guys getting together for a beer and going through the motions just to make a buck-please no more of that. Come back with some balls or dont come back at all....lets not make "I stared at the Trap" the new Nuked the Fridge....
-
That courtroom scene where Bill Murray patronises the shit out of that female lawyer is great."Kitten, I think what I'm saying, is that sometimes, shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?"
-
Please make this happen - throw in Jason Schwarzmann, Vince Vaughan, a career revitalising cameo from Steve Martin as Satan and....
...then I woke up - it's going to be sh*t isn't it? -
Since Rick Moranis, has pretty much retired from film at this point, they may need to get a new Louis Tully, for the film.
-
I'm all for a new cast. The old guys SHOULD be relegated to supporting roles. They're not funny anymore. There are quite a few talented young to youngish actors out there now. Like imagine the cops from Superbad as Ghostbusters. That would work. Maybe Eddie Murphy can finally become a Ghostbuster too. he's been waiting so long!
I like Will Ferrell but I don't think he should be in it. -
The Boys From Brazil, ol' Nazi hunter Laurence Olivier going after evil Gregory Peck AND a Steve Guttenburg death scene! Also made me a fan of dobermans...followed by Evil Dead 2...uncut....bless you TCM.
-
I'm sorry, but I was much more excited when the rumore of a CG Ghostbuster movie were going around. Seeing the old, delapitated team might ruin my mental image of them. Ramis and Akroyd alone could double for Stay Puft. Except Hudson, that brother hasn't aged a freakin' day!
-
Up in the Air is the early front-runner for Best Picture, which means Jason will be a likely nominee as both screenwriter and director. I think he'd be a great choice to make this.
-
Love it when Murray calls her "Kitten." And then it's all downhill after that. There are so many things wrong with G2....
-
..could work. He's running the company from an office line with equipment Egon made to keep his ghost in the mortal world.
Use the extreme GB, it was a prety good cartoon and interesting characters. Plus multicultural. -
to be in this. In fact, might as well make the whole Reaper team into the Ghostbusters cosmology. Socks Id take over any other youngin.

Where have you 'heard' this?
-
...I know that Ghostbusters 3 will rock. I never understood those bitching about Ghostbusters 2, I loved it. Hmmm, come to think about it, fuck any worries. Ghostbusters the recent 360 game was written by the guys and was fucking awesome. Even if Ramis directs instead of Reitman, he'll bring his A-game and it will be like Year One never existed. I love these guys! ONE THING THOUGH!! I know someone involved on this is reading these boards. NO FUCKING CGI!!! Do it old school guys, make it look and feel as real as the first two movies. CGI will make it feel cheap and so much less. And get William Atherton in there......FFS, get William Atherton in there!!!!!
-
There's a real whiff of 'Supershadow' about Jett. If you don't know who Supershadow is you should Wikipedia him or check out his website Supershadow.com. He's this fucking nutbar who claims he is best mates with George Lucas and gave him all the ideas for the Star Wars prequels, publishing inaccurate 'scripts' for each film before their release. He even has the plot outlines for episodes 7, 8 and 9 on his site. I think Lucasfilm have tried to sue him before, he has been doing this shit for years and still regularly updates his site. This Jett dude is definitely cut from the same cloth.
-
stop giving him attention.
-
This sites got enough.

Evolution, tho nowhere near as good as GB 1, is still fun, and is basically the movie Gb 2 could, and should have been.
Why do they ALWAYS tear down the heroes in the sequel?(Peter Parker as a failed Pizza delivery guy in Spidey 2, Ian Malcom Defamed and broke in JP:Lost World, etc.) I hate it when they do that! Why can't we just enjoy the triumph of the Heroes that they rightly earned in the first film, so they can just get on with what they do best? GB 2 was a HUGE disappointment to me, and imho has only two really good moments: "Two in the box, ready to go, we be fast, they be slow" and "there's always room for Jell-o" - that's pretty much it. the rest of the film was pretty dismal.
I just hope GB 3 is at least as good as Evo. -
Why? Why make another one? It's been too long since the second, which was terrible to the point of almost making me hate the first one... so what possible point, other than the assumed and IMO misplaced greed factor, could there be for this film??
-
... because Ghostbusters 2 was such a terrible movie that we deserve a do over.

-
They're retired and then they COME BACK!! WE WAITED SINCE 1989 FOR THAT?!!
-
Everyone is always desperately clinging to original casting (Mr.T. in the new A-Tea. Gimme a fucking break). I love the original Ghostbusters but take the story somewhere else. Do I want Bill Murray in there somewhere? Yes. Do I think Bill Murray has earned to much respect for everyone to think he should be fucking around on the Ghostbusters 3 set? Hell Yeah. Give the man some dignity. Sheesh.

...but I'd love to see Alfonso Cuaron take a shot at directing it just to see what it would look like. If it had that kind of scary cold realism of children of men mixed with paranormal comedy that could be something epic.
-
from bigger corporate backed paranormal investigations. Add in a powerful cabal with a conspiracy. Instead of starting shut down again they start almost irrelevant in a world they helped create that recognizes and accepts the paranormal.
-
Or they will make it and it will suck. Either way, we lose folks.
-
There should be FIVE-HUNDRED different celebrity Ghostbusters in the movie. Literally everybody ever suggested to be a Ghostbuster should be one on screen for a few minutes. Please drop the lame GB2 "Ghostbusters down on their luck" concept and bring on the "Ghostbusters franchises in every town" concept to make this movie a star-packed reality. Friggin' JERRY LEWIS as a Ghostbuster, seriously.
-
Have the core stars of the film be a younger team of Ghostbusters in a city other than NYC, and have them become involved in a huge case, like in the original film. They bring the original Ghostbusters in as expert consultants or something in act 3. The climax features both the old and new Ghostbusters.
-
...get Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost involved in this. Shit, have it be about the Ghostbusters franchise branch in London and get fucking Ricky Gervais in there too.

covering ghosts in his own slime. FRUUUUUUNKIS!!!

I think everyone is in the same boat here - we all want more GB action, but none of us want involved.
For me, If Jonah Hill is involved, I riot.
He's a fat talentless cunt of a human being and needs to go away. -
I got nothin'...
-
I've had this idea about the guys being asked to come back to find out why all the ghosts in NYC have disappeared and they find out that someone had ripped off their proton pack and containment grid plans and built a copy (Peck, maybe, to steal their business?) in one a building damaged by fire and it imploded, creating a rift that's slowly spreading and trapping all the ghosts and threatens to widen if they can't close it, keep the Villain who's feeding on the trapped ghosts from getting out and get all the ghosts in it released so they can go to their proper destinations....
Sample scene:
The Villain sneers and claws at the crew as it begins pulling itself through the rift.
V: These toys can't hold me. I am your destruction.
Spengler: OK, now!
The other GBs turn their packs onto the wall behind them to knock it down, revealing an assembly of two trucks with their new proton cannons and at least 20 fire trucks and their crews standing ready with hoses as clergy sanctify the tanks.
Venkman: Let's show this demonic dick how we give a colonic downtown.
-
it was just a thought...

Say what you will about it, but i've noticed when the kids have a choice between 1 or 2 they always want 2. I think there's a certain established feel the original doesnt have. but i personally thin the first is one of the greatest filsm ever and i hope they capture the right feel with the new one the way Rambo captured the right feel. the ghostbusters were always a sort of firefighting team, so it would make sense to have them in an administration capacity, having all the experiance and needing to train a younger crew. and then at the end we see the final conflict with all the old guys gearing up and taking down the ghosts. what made the originals so good was that right mix of light comedy with semi-dark sci-fi. it also had that ability to tap into our fear of ghosts and totally make fun of it. ghostbusters 3 is a gamble... i haope they have a clear idea what they're doing. so many of the old guys from the 80's have lost touch. good luck to them

...I always liked GHOSTBUSTERS 2 better than 1, too. (And I liked THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS most of all.)
-
4732 from Hollywood. Do we really need or want a Ghostbusters 3? Seriously? I love Ghostbusters and grew up on the work of a lot of these guys (Murray is a comedy God as far as Im concerned), but the last decade has not been kind to attempts at re-capturing past glories imho. First there was TPM, and most recently we had that less than steller Indy 4. Maybe, just maybe...we should let sleeping dogs lie, and stop wanting Hollywood to attempt to recreate our childhoods. These things are so beloved by us in part because we saw them as kids, and everything is always better as seen throught he good ol nostalgia goggles. I dont mean those films are nt good, just that almost nothing will be good enough because we have all imagined a Ghostbusters 3, and no film will be better than what we imagined as kids imho. That being said I would love to be proven wrong and have these guys find their A game again.....
-
The original "next gen" idea of Sandler, Farley, Spade and Rock was a nice nod to the movie's origins as an SNL product. I don't think that Bill Heder, Andy Samberg, Will Forte and... uhmm... Keenan Thompson will quite work.
-
You clearly take films far too seriously. So what if they make a film based on something you loved as a child but didn't quite capture the same magic? They tried, they failed, so what? Some people will still love these new attempts and it doesn't hurt anyone.
Let's face it, all our old films - our Raiders, Empires, Ghostbusters, Back to The Futures etc will always exist. If they attempt to capture that magic again it just reminds me that I love something that is worth remembering. Also don't forget these sequels bring these classics to the attention of a new generation - without them trying they'd be forgotten.
In 20 years do you really want to mention your love of Ghostbusters to a young relative to just see them stare blankly at you in confusion? -
Simon Pegg or any of the Arrested Development folks getting the nod. Pretty sure they'll try and make a bigger splash than that though.
-
Bunch of grandpas running around with soft wood trying to recapture their old virility. Be careful to not cross the swords- errr streams-- ummm, yeah.
-
Since I can't spell it, the joke loses all of its power.
-
thinking Gremlins is a shot and no doubt they will use CGI for the Gremlins and no doubt it will be horrible
-
You knwo like you did on dark knight? I'll believe that cast list when I see it. Where do you come up with this shit?
-
... and it didn't have much to loose to begin with!
-
black sheep of the movie franchise,just like Indiana Jones 4 or DIE HARD 4 are.
-
the whole ghost thing is so last century
-
and it was all a cover up? like we were threatened by some aliens who were gonna attack us so we bombed them, but nasa lied and said it was a science experiment
-
Fuck Ivan Reitman up his fucking ass.
-
You know it.
-
High Hopes
-
where everything fit together perfectly. The tone was playful and mock serious at the same time, and Bill Murray was like the movie's own MST, commenting and riffing like an audience member. A really funny audience member. It was lightning in a bottle, and trying to recapture that...well remember Crystal Skull?
-
although i dont want a new movie,since its going to have super cgi and 00s humor,here is my two cents:
We learn that Venkham is killed in an accident during a routine ghostbusting job.The remaining Ghostbusters heart-broken by this,they decide to end their business as ghostbusters.after some years,Venkham appears as a ghost to Ripley,and tells her that Hell is with war with Heaven and that something terrible will happen to Earth starting from NY.the dead can not enter heaven or hell because of this war,and they will start appearing in masses in NY and finally Hell will claim Earth and their livings as their property or some shit like this.
Now Venkham asks Ripley that she has to persuade his old teammates to unite again and face the forthcoming threat.So Ripley does that,the old ghostbusters team again but they soon discover in their first mission that they are too old for this shit.So they decide to create a new team with youngs and teach them everything the can,before the Armageddon.
Now as the first team member and leader of the team,i would like to have Ripley's son.The baby has grown up,knows everything about GBsters and what happened to him when a baby,in fact Venkham was his foster father.The boy decides to join the team and become a ghostbuster although Ripley is strongly against it.
Now i dont know what other 3 ghostbusters should be.I would suggest a gothic girl with strong personality (like that hottie in the NCIS series) who has also a special gift: communicating with the dead or foreseeing the future.The chick will be the strong counter-part of the boy leader,they will arguing all the time,but they will fall in love at the end.yes i know cliche but i would like the new ghostbusters to have a bit of more chemistry between them and their character a bit more complex,something that the original movies didnt have apart from Vehkam.
Now for the other two ghostbusters i dont know what kind of characters should be,obviously the one guy will be black/latin/asian who will be the genius of the team, and the other one,i dont know maybe a gun-ho semi-crazy game-addicted who thinks that ghostbusting is like being a soldier in a war or whatever.Or maybe he is a scientist but he is a sceptist,he doesnt believe in ghosts but decides to take the job for money or glory or a bet,and he always try to rationalize all the paranormal things he sees with his humorous way (yea a Venkham ripoff)
ofc we will definitely have cameos from Moranis and the secretary girl,maybe we learn that they are married but never managed to have kids so they adopt Slimmer as their kid.And one more cameo from the bad guy from the first movie,the environment inspector who know is maybe the mayor or someone with more power and becomes a pain in the new team but ultimately helps them.
Now the new team doesnt have the experience,but they learn first,but they are not prepared to face the Armageddon,and the ultimate bad guy which is the Devil itself.The old ghostbusters decide to take the situation into tneir control,but they are defeated and imprisoned by Lucifer.Then the new team comes to the rescue,saves the old team and all together use their combine their proton beams and send Satan back to Hell or some shit like that.
the end.u can throw your tomatoes now. -
I don't know for the main characters, too many ways to go, but I can easily see Kristin Wiig (overused, I know) as the receptionist, and Thomas Lennon as an EPA official.
-
"Bill Murray was the movies own MST." Never really thought of it like that. Good call.
-
Retired from acting after his wife's death, I heard, to take care of his family. He's got tons of money: owns a piece of Disney's "Honey, I Shrunk The Audience" ride.
-
rough stuff. Poor fella. He rocked his shit and stole the show in 'Spaceballs.' If he's in Ghostbusters 3 it's gonna be weird seeing him.
-
FFS. NO ONE CARES.
-
that idea fuckin' sucks.
-
THAT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA! However, I want them to share a universe with the actual Ghostbusters. Why the hell not?
-
Steve Carol, Dane Cook, Seth Rogen and Carlos Mencia...
-
thank god they ain't paying you tarts to write for the movies. We'd be watching total shit.
-
The plot sounds fucking lazy.
-
...and promptly threw a noose over the rafters. Just gotta kick the stool out and

exactly what they're doing...

David Duchovany, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen and Steven Colbert= New G

I know it will be impossible to top GB1 but I think they have a chance to make a good movie if they stick to male leads with good chemistry thats part of the reason these films work. Please no female GBs. I have a feeling those 4 guys would have great chemistry. Use Elmer Bersteins score. Keep the montages to a minimum. Maybe only have 3 new Gbs instead of 4(too many characters with the exsisting GBs). Get a DP to match lazlo kovacs work from the first one. PUSH THE FUCKING COMEDY ENVELOPE. dialouge must be quick snappy unlike Judd Apatows comedy which feels to improv'd with the mile a minute dialouge he has. Follow these rules and cast and I swear we will have a great movie. oh yeah make the bad guy more of a threat than Viggo was in GBII
-
the real comedy element would be seeing them all 20 years older. Fatter and balder and shit.
-
I want a new idea from Hollywood.
-
not funny. have them be scared shitless when the see the ghosts upclose. have them be untrainable idiots too. like snarky college students.
-
that wasn't the moon they were bombing, it was a black and white shot of Iraq. Just like the moon landing was in Arizona. If NASA says they are launching missles at the moon then that frees up the US gov to shoot missles wherever we like. It all looks like dessert to us here in America. Iraq might as well be on teh moon anyway. LET THE EXTINCTION BEGIN!!!!!!!
-
And the government cuts them lose, so they go back into business for themselves?
-
THE TEAM RUNS ACROSS A FELCHING SPIRIT THAT SUCKS THE LIFE AND SOUL OUT OF PEOPLE'S ASSHOLE.
OH. WAIT. THAT'S BEEN DONE.
SCRATCH THAT.
OKAY. IDEA #2. THE TEAM ARE BACK AND READY FOR ASS-TO-MOUTH
PEOPLE, ARE YOU WEEPING OVER THE BRILLIANCE OF THAT IDEA YET? -
There will be a movie...about chasing ghostsThere will be slimeGhosts will be "busted" Lots of busting.Jokes will be told.We're thinking of setting it in LA this time. No one ever does that.
-
the gov't cuts them loose after they finally steal the ghostbusters secret plans for the proton pack and create their new team of super slick super soldier ghostbuster, 4 of them or so. so the ghostbustrs are flat broke and the only thing they got is to reopen the biz and hope to get a few jobs based on nostalgias sake alone. and then they get stomped by the super busters during a routine busting and become the laughing stock, old ghostbusters and everyone loves the new super soldier busters and at the end its gbusters vs the new super soldier ghost busters and the ghostbusters bust the ghost first and at the end the super soldier leader's like "we did everything perfect ,what went wrong? how did you beat us venkman???" an venkmans like "you forgot one thing pal..we're the ghosbusters" or something funny about him not having a dick and everyone cheers and peter marries dana by a mustached priest that looks like a child molester and slimer and leiws are best man.
-
is non-existent. As yours should be.
-
an venkmans like "you forgot one thing pal..we're the ghosbusters." That could be the tagline on the poster.
-
It's a fishing show!
-
Other than Bill Murray, he was the best thing about the original film (and the sequel). The guy's a goddamned comedic genius.
-
... you're not really *trying* to be an ass, you're actually bugshit feces smearing crazy, and it just 'comes accross' as purposely behaving like an ass whenever you get your hands on a keyboard. My bad.
-
"No more monkey business."
-
What a country!
-
here is another one: how about the UK version of ghostbusters? We have the us version/ripoff of every kind of european/asian movies/tvseries,so i dont see the reason we dont get a ghostbusters team set on UK with uk comic actors.we have multiple stargate teams,multiple comic universes,and we know that these kind of alternations can be successful.
The movie starts with a tv advertisement of the original team,where we find out that they expand their business worldwide,and introduce us to the first GB team in europe,set in UK.And from there,the movie continues with the adventures of this team
Eddie Izzard will be the uk version of Egon,Gervais will be the alter ego of Venkham,Pegg will be the new Stantz and for Zedermore,i dont know some uk black rapper i guess.
let the throwing of tomatoes commence. -
....starring Hulk Hogan! I ain't 'fraid of no ghost BROTHER!!!!
-
the ghostbusters could go to the uk themselves, whole lot more history here to mine for villainy.
Jeah that quote cracked me up for some reason.
Next week, bald cats. Weird! -
after he finishes the Predators.They could have him using his nose to smell the ghosts,instead of using the PKE meter.one way or the other,the movie is going to have scatological humor and not the wits of the original movie.
-
Fuck Ivan Reitman up his fucking ass.
-
saying "fuck Ghostbusters". You shits. Ghostbusters is better than that Evil Dead shit you think is so great.
-
ackroyd, Murray and ramis(Ernie Hudson looks the same). Part me wishes that theyd spend a shit load of money for getting de-ageing just right(Unlike X3) and forget this new cast BS. I mean hire ILM and do this shit right benjimun button style. Same with the new Indy movie. Shoot both of these movies on 80's film stock de-age the leads and bam! movie mother fucking magic. And
if they can't reuse Elmer Bernsteins score please hire Michael Giachino(spelling?) Part of the prob with GB 2 is the music it was to generic, Bernstien gave the 1st movie such a great sound that's what the 3rd movie needs, a great fucking musical score. when's the last time we had one of those? Just do this fucking movie right fellas, take your time and hire the right people don't cheap out. Get a great composer, DP, production designer and editor. Try and duplicate every single postive creative aspect of the first movie. Get it fucking right boys this is your chance for one last great film with the comedy geniuses of the 80's. -
suck a dick.

i think evil dead 2 and ghostbusters both stole fx from polterge
by horny4harry
-
Comparing Evil Dead to Ghostbusters is like comparing butter to wine.... Both are delicious and serve a complete different purpose... Not one is greater than the other and I'm grateful both exist... As for a third GB ....of course I'll be there and hope that the curse of bad remakes and sequels to good 80's films is OVER AND DONE with... So listen Mr. Reitman....if it ain't worth it...please don't steal our hard earned dollars !!!!!!!! Have a heart for goodness sake...
-
how about vodka and wine?
-
Whats for dinner?
-
You're a douche that likes shit.
-
No reason but he deserves it.
-
hehe why we are at it,why not give him the rest of well-known awards: Hugo,Pulitzer,Nebula,Golden Lion,etc etc
-
Is going to be playing the part of Slimer to save on special effects.
-
You are a genius!!
-
Well maybe he'll be an Executive Producer in name only and not touch the film at all. What has Ivan Reitmann made that's any good lately? Give it to the son before the dad to direct, if you have to....
-
Grown up Oscar(Andy Samberg)leads a new team, featuring Jake(Seth Meyers)and Eddie(Bobby Moynihan) who love to jump into the air and high five each other, and Tracy(CG)a Gorilla who says "Okee dokee" alot. Their mission: to rescue Slimer(CG)from the clutches of the nefarious Prime Evil(Hugh Laurie). Oh yea, and Megan Fox is in it for no other reason than to lean over stuff and pout in slow motion. Now THAT'S box office gold!
