If GHOSTBUSTERS III Ever Gets Made, Guess Who'll Be Strapping On A Proton Pack?
Beaks here...
According to Bloody-Disgusting's Brad Miska, screenwriters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky are planning to use Dana Barrett's all-growns-up son Oscar as the link between the young and old Ghostbusters in the (possibly) forthcoming third installment of the series. What's more (and this might be a spoiler, so stop reading now if you don't want to know too much), it's going to be revealed that Oscar is of Peter Venkman's loins!
If Eisenberg and Stupnitsky are still writing Venkman as a ghost, then this makes perfect sense: basically, Oscar would be taking over the family business (which brought his parents together in the first place), and, perhaps, trying to restore honor to his dead and disgraced dad. As Miska notes, this would give GHOSTBUSTERS III a compelling emotional hook; it would also be kind of poignant if Aykroyd's nerdy Ray Stantz - who never married - becomes a mentor to his best friend's son (just an idea). I've been pretty indifferent to GHOSTBUSTERS III throughout its long development, but, for some reason, this idea gives me hope that they could at least outdo the mediocre second film.
Murray's been skeptical lately about the possibility of the third movie going before cameras anytime soon, but I'm sure Aykroyd will keep after it. I guess it's up to Eisenberg and Stupnitsky to deliver a screenplay that'll convince Sony to cough up the $100 million-plus budget this project will almost certainly require. If everyone's on board (and there seems to be a belief that even Rick Moranis will come out of retirement for this), then I'm sure Murray will relent.

Absolutely terrible. Hasn't anyone learned that you shouldn't return to 80s properties and create sequels for them?
-
I guarantee it.
-
...i thought he slimed all in it
-
Murray's comment on Letterman about it just being a reason to drag some new people into the franchise sold me that Murray doesn't want to do it, and that it should not be done.
-
that they picked a really creepy looking baby as Dana's son in GB 2.
-
Who's gonna play the kid? and can we get better writers than the dicks who wrote Year One? Please?
-
Never happen. I still think Bill was joking when he said all that stuff about being a ghost. He doesn't want to do a film at all.
-
William T. Deutschendorf and Henry J. Deutschendorf II - neither of whom ever appeared in another movie.
-
I'm picturing Seth Rogan, Rainn Wilson, or perhaps John Krasinski. If this is made right, it could be the anti Indy 4 movie...
-
I thought he just couldn't find work. You know, cuz like, he sucks.
-
baby Oscar doesnt grow up, and remains in a childlike body (with an adult sense of humor)...that would bring in viewers because ya know everyone loves the eTrade babies
-
Each movie they just latch on more family shit.
-
Right, and Bill Murray will continue to do such gems as Garfield and Garfield 2...so good for the career huh? Again if Ivan directs and the originals come back it might do ok.
-
Both are equally likely to happen. By which I mean "Not remotely likely to happen."
-
The guy is happily retired and recording vanity country music albums. Let him enjoy his old age and stop trying to drag him back in front of the cameras.<p> Remember how disappointing it was to see how old Harrison Ford now looked in the last Indiana Jones movie? These franchises need to start fresh and stop grave robbing.
-
I was Over at sony the other day and I was allowed to see an early draft of the script as well as some production designs. They are expecting an official announcemt in January, along with a newly shot teaser trailer attached to The Green Hornet. The idea for the teaser is pretty funny and shouldn't require more then a few days of shooting
-
The original in the series was titled "Meet the Family" umm yeah it centers around...family.
-
And then we can judge whether or not we want this to be made AT ALL.
-
Seeing Akroyd leading the new/young/old/whatver the fuck ghostbusters and Murray quietly not in this movie will be the funniest thing about this series. Maybe the evil painting guy can help them Lecter style against a new foe... SUPER GOZER.
-
It is 20 years after the fact...doesn't Indy 4 or Star Wars 4 (1) mean anything to you...give up the dream
-
...where the FUCK is Gremlins 3? Seriously, that just seems like a no-brainer. You CGI-up some fucking Gremlins, you bring in a new cast, you make it a kid-friendly piece of crap full o' poop jokes and BAM. You just got a license to destroy franchise integrity AND a license to print money AT THE SAME TIME.
-
...we need a "Honey We Shrunk Our Kids So Small That Theyre Lost in the Interwebs"... the main bad guy could be a pedophile who wants to insert kids into his pee hole... only at AICN would I type this
-
All this continuity is missing the point and don't forget what an abortion the original sequel was. They'd be better off doing a remake with a new story from scratch that's just got good ideas and jokes in it.
-
and 2-3 bankable younger stars sign on, then the studio will definitely back this. Doesn't matter if the script is good, though I hope it is! I for one wouldn't mind seeing Murray as a ghost, though it would be nice to get at least 2-3 scene of Venkman alive a kicking before he bites it.
-
just make me laugh or FUCK OFF!!
-
Yeah, I'm with you on Ghostbusters II. But you know, if the Internet has taught us anything, it's that every otherwise-well-shot, well-produced, well-written and well-acted movie that has maybe three or four bad decisions in it is automatically a A STEAMING PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT. That's why so many people in this topic are still bitching about Episode I and Indy IV.

in the same style as Brando from Superman Returns of Orville from the new popcorn commercials http://www.recordlabelrecords.org/images/asshole2.jpg

"just over at Sony"....right... How is someone that capitalizes Over and misspells words such as announcement even allowed near a hush hush top secret script?
-
Let's see. Dane Cook, Michael Cera, Kevin Hart and David Duchovny plus Featuring Hellboy just for shits and giggles. What? It can't be worse than the second movie.
-
But I would make Oscar the biological son of the nerdy cello player. But since he was raised by Venkmen, there would be kind of a nature vs. nurture thing in the kid. You could get Cera to play him.
-
How is someone "criticising" "Jettl1993" when "everyone" here "knows" he "works" in "Hollywood" and is "making" a "movie" about the "tbs"...
-
that is all.<P>people, you do not want this movie..you only think you do. <P>please let it go..just watch the original and its phoned in sequel..and if any of you think otherwise, i will tell you that these actors have been on COMEDIC auto-pilot for quite some time.
-
You can't kill off everyone's favorite Ghostbuster, even if he comes back as a ghost. That's just a retarded move to make. I wouldn't watch it. It would be like killing Iron Man in the Avengers.
-
I think a lot of fans already assumed that if there was ever to be a sequel to GB2, that Oscar would end up being a Ghostbuster and the son of Peter Venkman. Pretty much writes itself. However Venkman being a ghost is a new an interesting concept.<p>They NEED to do this to round it out as a trilogy. Then leave it alone unlike Indiana Jones.

by BEYONDTHUNDERDOME2GIRLS1CUPBILLCOSBY
would round it out nicely.
-
Well said 6db.
-
I'd rather see a movie that captures the spirit of the Ghostbusters than a sequel. Men In Black took a solid step in that direction and Evolution (with Duchovny and Orlando Jones) was trying like hell to copy the formula (Akroyd even had a cameo). Someone needs to capitalize on the Jason Segel/Bill Hader/Zach Galifiankas personalities that are available now and make a blockbuster science fiction franchise with scene stealing comedic heavy-hitters. And it should be a fucking original premise, not a remake! Have them... fight Cthulu, face off against biblical demons, save a sleepy little town from genetically mutated zoo animals... what the fuck ever! The main idea is that we need everyday schlubs with honest geekiness, monsters, and practical effects to recapture the magic. Guillermo Del Toro should direct. That's all.

can someone please gimme an example from the first film...
by Six Demon Bag
with emotional resonance..<P>ive seen the film hundreds of times and for the life of me..im drawing a blank here..<P>cause its not there!!! ITS NOT NEEDED!!!
-
That's my opinion of course. If they went as far as to make a sequel, then round it off as a trilogy. What's the problem?
-
bill murray relays a monologue where he states that he witnessed his father being eaten alive by gophers and thats the reason for his hatred towards the lil devils!<P>EMOTIONAL HOOK MY BLACK ASS!
-
Actually explained the Garfield fiasco (the first one, at least). Murray saw that the script was by Joel Coen and, assuming that it was Joel Coen of the Coen Bros., signed on immediately. It wasn't until after he began attempting to read from the shit script that he was informed that it was penned by a DIFFERENT Joel Coen.
-
I remember being horribly disapponted with the Ghostbuster II Movie when it came out...it was..what I thought at the time a MAJOR letdown and one of the summers biggest disappointments of that year. Here is a thought...if a third moive IS going to be made? How about making two movies back to back..say, bridging the gap between the old and the new ghostbusters with Oscar...and in order to restore Pete Venkmans "honor" and if indeed the storyline goes the route of Peter being dead? How about there being a way to actually BRING Peter Venkman back from the "Great Beyond"? The first of 2 Sequels with the story of Oscar learning Peter IS his father, learning that there IS a way to bring him back from the dead witht he help of the origianl cast and crew of Ghostbusters...the movie ending on some sort of cliffhanger with the second sequel resolving and bring Bill Murray's character back..the ending with Father and Son and the Old GB Crew maybe opening a School to train a new team.... JUST a thought...
-
The first film had great rapport between the main characters and Murray's courtship of Weaver was charming simply because Murray can be charming when he wants to. Emotional resonance does not necessarily mean the film needs to be sappy, but it should have characters we care about.
-
right now, shedules and budgets just aren't lining up, but I still have my fingers crossed that it will get made some day
-
the probelm with the sequels is that the immediately started working on the second one to cash in on the phenonmenon..and the film, average (i like it and still laugh) and is phoned in.<P>twenty years later, they dont have a good story..im sorry thats the truth..no film! NO FILM has had a GREAT, let alone GOOD sequel after that long..this is strictly a cash grab.<P>and your eagerness for it based on the sequencing of it in a franchise and not on anything artistic or creative such as script, casting, director..well..thats just stupendous.
-
You may have just had an idea for the most expensive double-feature ever. One alone is going to cost well over 100 million. A second would obviously require even MORE bang for the audience's buck and probably cost even more. Your heart's in the right place though man, and if money wasn't an issue I'd be pretty down to see those movies.
-
The "back-to-back sequels dealing with the Ghostbusters transition into a new generation and traveling into the world of the afterlife in order to save New York and bring back Venkman" = pretty much exactly what Dan Aykroyd originally pitched to Columbia when he first started lobbying hard for this to happen about 10 years ago.
-
LOL. His entire dialogue will consist of him saying "No, no. No no no no nonononono..."
-
Terminator<p>Predator<p>Alien
-
Superman news please!
-
but even then..venkman is just trying to get laid and we accept it cause hes funny and charming..but hes still a dick and a goof-off.<P>had it been the blonde from the experiment in the opening of the film, he wouldve "fallen" for her..<P>ms. weaver, because she turned into a dog and was rescued by him, fell for him..i can see that..
-
Venkman, you are NOT the father! Oh, and, burn in Hell!
-
Had the right idea making Groundhog Day. If they must do another film, come up with something fresh.
-
its because of people like you that LAND BEFORE TIME has made shit tons of films..
-
Not as good as the first(the only comedy I can watch over and over and still laugh) it's got a fucking HILARIOUS Peter Mcnichol(spelling?) as Janousz(spelling?). All of those who hate GB2 watch it again. There are some issues especially with the climax and rehash of montage sequence but there's a shit load of quotable hilarious lines in GB2. My only major problem is that the swearing was toned down and in the first one every smokes like crazy but the second one there's none. I duno why that bothers me it's one of those small character traits you like to see carry over from film to film. Obviously they toned it down due to the kiddies and Real Ghostbusters cartoons. Also one last thing. There is a tone of awesome deleted scenes from GB2 that have yet to see the light of day so go out and rent or buy a copy so Sony will get their ass in gear and give this movie the blu-ray release it deserves
-
then I see what you're saying. The last thing a Ghostbuster's film needs is an Adam Sandler style monologue in the third act. But a film still needs to make us care about the characters. However, if Ghostbusters III involves a teary eyed reunion between Venkman's ghost and his son, then you can count me out.
-
And Joel should replace Murray with Jeff Bridges, Aykroyd with John Goodman, and Ramis with John Turturro. Ernie Hudson?

What necessitates GHOSTBUSTERS 3?
-
If GB3 is going to be made (who wants to be it'll be GB3D?) I think Seth Green is the perfect comedic actor to capture what was great about the first one.
-
maybe its cause i was young when i saw it..but i cared about the characters because the film was about them..they were the stars..<P>i cared about louis and dana and their well being too.<P>fuck i even sympathized with the guy getting the electric shocks!!<P>YOU CAN KEEP THE FIVE BUCKS!!

Then you have forfeited the right to complain about Hollywood's lack of originality. For ever.<p>Remember this when they announce a 'reboot' of Beverly Hills Cop or Bay's Transformers 4:Revenge of the Mouthbreathers.

With a twist ending.
-
I'd put a moratorium on comic book films for a decade or so as well.
-
the ending will pull back and it will be on a hollywood lot and you will see that it was a movie ALL ALONG!!<P>depending on your age, its a homage to MUPPET MOVIE or a rip off of the series finale of THE HILLS.<P>you decide.

There are some good comics not involving supers that can be adapted. We need more A HISTORY OF VIOLENCEs and fewer SPIDER-MANs.
-
...from the Flistone's live action movie. Some other abortion. eh?
-
for SOUTHWIND!
-
Indiana Jones, if it hasn't already.<p>Star Wars
-
They might as well do it already. They should get someone like Judd Apatow to direct it, oor Jason Reitman, and Ivan Reitman should produce.
-
Speaking of sequels, will the Harry Potter movies go down in history as the highest level of quality maintained over the course of a franchise in history? You can't deny that those movies, at their worst, were still very watchable. Some of the movies were better than others, but I don't think another franchise is going to sprout up tomorrow and make 8+ films without turning to shit really fast. It's a minor miracle in my opinion.
-
Liked Takers. Just to clear up, Takers was horrible.
-
'You are like the buzzing of flies to him!' Yes I like GB2 as well, its not a masterpiece like the first but its still a fun flick.<br><br> Should GB 3 ever get made I doubt it would even muster that.
-
I think if you can stand two more you might just get your wish.
-
Seriously. The old cast is....well really fucking old. They're past their prime. Murray hates the very mention of it. Just remake the shit and be done with it.
-
Played by Joel McHale? SOLD Also shoot it in 3-D. 3-D ghosts would be cool. Maybe they can make it real supernatural like all that stuff Akroyd believes in. Like heavy X-Files paranormal stuff.
-
Look, I hate Chris Brown for beating Rihanna, but Eli Roth should not be rewarded either, as his films show a tremendous hate toward, and of, women, and of human life in general. So, better the lesser evil, over the greater evil. Yes, Chris Brown actually hurt someone, and he is a disgrace to humanity, but Roth films serve one purpose, and that is to inspire violence and hate against others, and we will be stuck with the affects of the existence of those negative films on our society, for years to come. His films are disgusting, and he, and they, should be put-out of business, and out of our collective misery!!! Burn the prints and negatives!!!!
-
You know it baby! Probably more. And by probably I mean definitely.
-
Wrong franchise but wise words nonetheless.
-
If we're going to go fully moribund? With Channing Tatum to play his youthful sidekick who inherits Harry's mantle.
-
Two charisma black holes from which there is no escape. Just throw in Ryan Phillippe and call it a day.

Him not being his Father is where any dramatic tension would be. That seems like a gimme to me.

Sure the crappy ones can die but get rid of them wholesale and Sci-fi will be next mark my words.
-
... refuses to do any sort of Mackenzie Brothers reunion, I'll be trés pissed.<p> I wanna see a Strange Brew sequel, dammit!!!
-
I didn't know Venkman was gonna be a ghost. That kinda sucks. I'd like a Ghostbusters III as long as they don't get too stupid with it.
-
There should NEVER ever be a CGI Gremlin. It needs to be a puppet all the way. Most of the humor comes from seeing how awkwardly those things move sometimes. Would you ever want to see a cgi Kermit? Muppets should never be cgi and nor should the Gremlins.
-
. . . how bout like the ending of Blazing Saddles, maybe??? Jesus . . .
-
. . . that Venkman would even have a brief appearance in some shape or form. It'd be a miracle seeing Murray paricipate at all after the giant turd that was GB II.
-
I was excited for a GB3 6 years ago when it would have been a Ben Stiller / Will Ferrel thing, but now it'll probably be an Apatow generation cast.
-
You are such a asshole.

Re: Way of the Gun intro I could give a shit about "totally fucking hot" Hollywood actresses, but I would tear into Sarah Silverman any day of the week. Am I alone here?

by CreationistTechnophobicManiacs
I remember seeing that back in 96 and thinking "FUCK, why not make a Ghostbusters movie NOW with this technology!?!".
-
the films have just gotten better. compare Half-Blood Prince to Sorcerer's Stone, there's just no comparison. the next two films are going to be unreal. I can't think of another francise that has consistently gotten better. Every franchise has it's peak (TESB, Aliens, Wrath of Khan, T2, Batman Begins, Superman 2, X-Men 2, Spider-Man 2, Predator, Die Hard) and it's just downhill from there. Potter will peak with the final film, if they do it right.
-
Is older and totally unrelated.
-
...that 25+ years later, we continue to discuss one of the greatest comedies ever to hit he big screen. unfortunately, if there were no sequels, prequels, re-boots etc... classics like GBs would rarely get any novelty playback on forums like this one.
-
I meant the dickhead pantywaist comment?!
-
That's an element that I sure hope changes between now and any filming.
-
THERES NO GORILLA< DADDIEE!
-
which asked about my favourite parts of GHOSTBUSTERS 1 & 2, and then told me a third movie, directed by Ivan Reitman, was forthcoming. From what I recall, the plot synopsis they gave involved ghosts shorting out modern technology, and the original ghosbusters passing the torch to a younger crew.

No one needs another belated sequel.

John Denver's brother, Ron Deutschendorf, was working behind the scenes at movies during the time and it is his two infant sons, William T. Deutschendorf and Henry J. Deutschendorf II that played the child in the movie. Henry II was named after John Denver himself whose birth name was Henry John Deutschendorf jr.
-
and at 8 years old it was my first taste of numb-nut fanboys who don't like anything unless it's the original. Unless it's The Empire Strikes Back...but not Jedi. Yet half of you fuckers LOVE Avatar, which is the most unoriginal story in history.
-
Of course it's not as good as the original, but it's still a great movie and I thought a great sequel. I say 10/10 for GB and 9/10 for GB2. Wow, can't believe that anyone would hate on that movie.
-
The Harry Potter franchise needs to die? Hey stupid, it's 7 books and they made 7 movies. The end. Got it? Second, who gives a fuck if they're 19. There are 19 year olds in high school in case you didnt notice. I think you were like a 24 year old in high school, in fact
-
= flames on Optimus. <br> <br> A lot of people love GHOSTBUSTERS. <br> <br> But nobody loves GHOSTBUSTERS for anything resembling emotional depth. Bust some ghosts, crack some wise, give us an adventure. But if you try to jerk some tears, you may as well call off the film, because that's not what the fans love about the original and we don't need it now.

Didn't he say that in an interview a while back?
-
one thing that would make GBIII hard to sell is that most of the cast has NOT aged well. At all. Harrison Ford may be older, but he was still in good enough shape to play Indy somewhat convincingly. And yeah, Murray could still pull off Venkman (alive or dead). But after seeing Ramis in Knocked Up and Akyroyd as Jimmy Carter in that presidential reunion skit on Funny or Die, the thought of them squeezing into a Ghostbusters' uniform made me kind of sad...
-
... had absolutely NO contact or input;

If Harold Ramis can get Year One made, GB 3 should be a snap.

Firstly: This should not be made into a 3D movie. Secondly: Should be made as a horror movie. Thirdly: Rip off the emotional aspect of Ghost.

the video game was enjoyable, GB 3 will be a trainwreck
by BetterCallSaul
-
I absolutely love the original Ghostbusters film. It holds up extremely well. And I will NOT accept a dead Venkman in any new film. While I think the Ghostbusters concept is less dependent on its individual characters than some franchises - it's basically about a bunch of goofballs who hunt ghosts with highly volatile and deadly equipment, making them look like the nuclear version of the Orkin man - still, Venkman was classic. He was the comedy relief, the doubter, the con man, the love interest for god's sake. You just cannot kill him off without destroying the soul of the thing. I've no objection to another GB film if it's got a good script, and if a new cast is well-chosen (reviving GB would not be a violation of a past classic like those wrong-sounding Muppets are), kill Venkman and you've totally killed my enthusiasm. Hey, I've got a radical idea: why not animate the damn thing with CGI? Make a completely CG'd movie out of it, and bring back the original cast as voice actors. It worked great for the video game, and if the CGI is upgraded, it could be awesome as hell. Heh, now I'm all excited again...

...with that bad joke about the Ghostbusters cartoon with the gorilla being the next sequel. Glad to see you finally gave it up. Now run home and write some new material! :-)

Mark my words!

I'm not saying this is the BEST choice, but I see Jason Bateman written all over this. Whether he's the villain, the Ghostbusters' media booking agent, or a Ghosbuster himself, I think I see a role in there for him. Since Arrested Development, he's developed a little bit of leading man cache, Juno gave him the Reitman connection (if he didn't have it before--too lazy to check), and he's proven he can be entertaining, even as the straight man, in "regular guy in a zany situation" comedy. If Venkman is going to die and be a cameo or minor character, I think Bateman could deliver a serviceable approximation of the smirky deadpan humor that Ghostbusters needs as a counterpoint to the geeky "life-or-death" genre stuff from Ray and Egon, or whoever their modern replacements are. I think he could acquit himself admirably as a replacement 'buster. What do you people think?
-
He's NOT a leading man. He was one of the reasons Aniston's movie bombed.

Hey Demon Shit - how did I take anything out on Jews?
by Professor_Monster
All i said was they had very Jewy names - and they do. You must be one of these fucktards who hits reply without reading what it is you are replying to. Stupid little kid. After your dad gets done fucking you in the ass ask him to show you how to use a computer.

Like I said, I'm not sure it's the best casting, and I don't think he'd be my first choice. But I CAN see him landing a role with his currently moderately popular status, and if my only other choices were guys like Jonah Hill, I think I could live with Bateman.
-
The more I try to talk myself into believing there's anyone out there who could really replicate the tone of the originals, the more I draw a blank. Scrap the whole thing.
-
no matter, how anyone would think about the third Movie(good or bad), I'd totally go in there. I mean, I don't see a way, that they might make it unenjoyable to me, unles they got Bad ending(everyone dies), or a stupid ending(the Main-Hero-Character dies: Hello, Matrix! - that's been good for 1&2, but at the DBZ-Fight in 3, the Hero loses and dies).
-
what was so mediocre about Ghostbusters II??
-
you don't need a good script, or a decent cast, or even a fucking golf course nearby...just break out your fucking checkbook and Garfield will be happy to lap up the milk.
-
and we get to see her use her Proton Packs spinning, ribbed self pleasure attachment for those in between Ghost moments; I'll fork up the Matinee price.
-
Bradley Cooper in the Bill Murray part, Chris Evans in the Dan Akroyd part, and Zach Quinto in the Harold Ramis part - pure gold right there.
-
His wife died in an car accident, i believe, and he decided to take a break from acting to raise his kids. <p> I'm trying to remember the interview i read, but he said something to the effect that in his early movies, he was allowed to ad-lib while working with friends. Then he started getting leading roles and he was told to stick to the script, not to add anything. It was no longer fun for him, so he didn't miss acting during his break and it became permanent. <p> If you look at his earlier films, they all have sketch comedians in them. Guys who worked off each other very well. Now look at Little Giants. It sucked if you over the age of 10.

They need to hurry the hell up with this move before...
by VonThunderballs
that shit-tastic Clash of the Titans sequel comes out.
-
I think that trying to do a sequel and keep everyone involved happy will just make this film a total mess. Venkman a ghost? Piss off... Keep the same characters of Venkman, Stantz and Spengler, but have some new actors play them. Keep Ivan Reitman away from the director's chair because he rubbish these days. Evolution had its moments but overall was kinda poor.

FAIL, its all about Aliens right now, ghosts were so 80s
by DioxholsterReturns
should be Alienbusters instead idiots. no one believes in ghosts
-
.....BECAUSE OF HARRY'S CINEMATIC WANK SOCK THAT'S WHY!! AND YOU AIN'T GONNA GET A GREEN CARD WITH THAT ATTITUDE PAL!
-
the Real Ghostbusters cartoon had been on for a while, and was vastly superior in its concepts. Should've gotten JMS or whoever else worked on it to write the plot, and then let the comics improvise.
-
make the thing a 3D cartoon instead.
-
like a ghost terminator sent back in time from the future to kill someone important. you see it could be that time machine used makes the traveler become a ghost back in time so thats why hes a ghost. so terminator-ghost wants to kill but then he gotta learn some ghost-killing skills like in that ghost movie in that subway scene. after he learns hes like nothing stoppin me fuckers but then ghostbusters kick his ass and thats that.
-
i know hes a has been but comon this movie is so asking for it.
-
just so she can say "Get away from my husband you bith." to a terror dog (ripped from aliens i know but it'd be sweet).
-
Love It!
-
and scoring lots of tang like his old man.
-
I know I am going out on a limb here, but has anybody considered using one of the Apatow cast for this? Maybe Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Segel, Rudd, or Baruchel? Man that would be awesome. Why am I the only one to think of this shit?
-

It probably will be Seth Rogen's doofus face as oscar
by canvasseamonkey
he needs to retire or stop being himself in movies
-
NOW you backpedal..how typicl..<P>this is what you said...<P>Are there two more Jewier names than Eisenberg and Stupnitsky. Seeing as this is coming from a bunch of washed up sacks of shit - this movie is hopeless <P>its a pretty pathetic and passive aggressive way of testing the waters with your hateful bullshit.."did anyone bite? did anyone agree with me and validate my feelings?"<P>no such luck, your leader shot himself cause hes a fucking quitter and mels still drinking off his fucking hangover. he'll wake up soon, so in the mean time, tongue is balls in peace.
-
Are both complete and total fucking morons.
-
the mere POINTING OUT their names being "jewy" is pointless. <P>what was your intent? to inform us that they are jewish? and why did you think you needed to tell us this vital information? im starting to think you arent really a professor...
-
Good idea. Make Dana so angry that she develops a lisp.
-
I'm happy, this is a good idea but no Cera please.. Get that fat kid from Superbad, he'd be okay!
-
Who point at their croch when he shows off his new ecto containment unit..
-
...guess who'll have a boner?
-
Beyotch.
-
...as the first female Ghostbuster = brilliant sequel
-
Oh, Miley.
-
I'll take it a step further... let's just have Ghosbusters III be an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. She can reprise her role as Gail The Snail.
-
At least he's kind of the right age. Oscar is only supposed to be around 21-22. I don't want to see some fat 30-year-old who thinks he's funny (or, god forbid, thinks he can emulate Murray) playing him. It shouldn't be played as a comedy, that's not how they did it in the first Ghostbusters, the cast were just naturally funny, nothing needed to be overplayed and you didn't get Sigourney Weaver going all 'oh I'm in a comedy, I'd better act funny'. Btw making him Venkman's son makes little sense but I would accept it if it meant us getting a movie!!
-
don't let me down, I really want a third
-
I'd want to crawl right back inside Sigourney
-
It's too classic by now. Don't try.
-
Do it.
-
Miley Stantz.
-
Seriously, they never follow them up with a new line of sequels because no one ever cares as much. It'll be best to finish Ghostbusters off with the original cast then, a couple years later, reboot or reimagine the franchise anew. People will still moan about that, but at least they've seen the original Ghostbusters starring in their own movie one last time. <br><br> Didn't they introduce pass the torch characters into Blade 3? What happened with that? I can't think of a single series of films where the torch has been successfully passed.
-
Well, Star Trek Generations wasn't a great movie, but did did pass the torch from the Classic cast to the TNG cast which went on to kill their own franchise.

RPLocke, aren't you supposed to be the talkback contrarian?
by Turd_Has_Risen_From_The_Grave
It was out of character for you to say something sensible for once.
-
He does that every once in a while- I think his dad comes in when he's in the bathroom and actually contributes to the talkback instead of making pointless, ignorant chatter.
-
As much as it pains me to say this, I really don't want Reitman directing this. My Super Ex Girlfriend was atrocious. Fuck it, just don't make it.
-
..that bit in GB1 where venkmans about to zap his test subject for the last time. The sounds he makes are hilarious.
-
I mean, just recently I noticed how annoying/idiotic/useless he is, but i swear everyone thinks the same of him... the sad thing is, he's not even a "aicn character" like jettl1993, choppa, dannyglover, etc...hes just a "normal guy" who nobody likes here... lol, man, thats gotta suck
-
Speedbumped....Jason Bateman is a great idea! I could see him as a sleezy mayor or someone else trying to stamp out the ghostbusters. No one seems to agree with me, but I'd love to see JON HAMM as a 'buster. He can be sarcastic as hell and was really funny on SNL. IMO, not every one of the new ghostbusters should be a 25-year-old comedic actor like Seth Rogen, etc. I'd like to see two middle-aged actors mixed in with two under-30 actors as the new guys. Imagine: Jon Hamm, Woody Harrelson, Bill Hader and Aziz Ansari. That would be a great foursome! Throw in Dave Franco as Oscar and there you go.

maybe they could fight the ghost of walter peck
by BEYONDTHUNDERDOME2GIRLS1CUPBILLCOSBY
-
You remember the cameo in Part 2...right? Pre Whitney, pre crack and pre Celebrity Fit club Bobby Brown. He's in control...yuh yuh you know it!
-
Even though peter stopped vigo from completely merging with baby oscar, a little bit of vigo has been in oscar all these years. now he's possesed oscar to infiltrate the ghostbusters and get revenge.
-
maybe he's been doing it since the early nineties, idk. could be cool. "bustin' makes me feel good, papi!"
-
They're already working on EXACTLY what you've suggested. A kid-friendly, cheap CGI-laden Gremlins 3, straight-to-video...or so that's what I've heard.
