Ghostbusters 3 - Part 1

[Ponyboy]

Why wouldn't you rather see a scenario where the world become so overrun with ghosts that they are forced to recruit? I don't like the idea of the Ghostbusters having to recruit just because they've gotten older. That doesn't ring true with me... it's an atypical plot device/recipe for disaster. Also if they are going to recruit I think they need to pick their recruits very, very, very carefully.

why they never have before, winston was hired on the spot.

and the whole city being overrun is just as forced as them getting older, except the fact that the guys really are a lot older it seems more natural. i can understand if the find was made back in early 2000 then yeah it would seem forced but not now

I'm talking about the actors.

 

[Webhead2006]

well you got to think of come on they are 20-30 yrs older then we last saw them. They are just normal guys. So of course they are not going to be in the best of shape then when they were in the 20s-30s. With pushing 60s now. ITs a pretty normal deal. And also to say they couldnt play up more ghosts around and on top of that and being older they need fresh blood.

It will be hard to suspend disbelief if we see all of them still working . I'd assume by now people would have applied for a job there. Also ghostbusting from the same office without any other divisions doesn't make sense. Unless ghosts only inhabit that area because of a portal or something.

The other scenario would be they rid the world of ghosts and maybe the business has shut down.

The last few instances happened because of certain historical supernatural events taking place. The first with Gozer, then Vigo, then in the game, Ivo Shandor's spirit was the catalyst. I know Akroyd said this one would focus more on Hell in some shape or form, maybe an apocalypse type thing.

 

[Webhead2006]

but we already had that with start of the 2nd film.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I always thought Satan or The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse would've been a great storyline for a Ghostbusters film.

 

[Ponyboy]

Well whatever it is... I guess we're all gonna find out soon enough. Seems the film is actually going to happen now.

 

[Webhead2006]

Ya for me personally i think it is going to happen. we are alot farther along in this go around then any time in the past. The studio wants it, the guys more or less want it, ivan is open and willing to direct again. All we need is script officially given the green light and casting to begin and there we go.

 

[Ponyboy]

Ivan Reitman directing gives me a little hope, too

 

[Zant]

Did Ivan direct that crap movie called Year One? If so then can we have someone else

Ramis directed "Year One". Kinda saddening, considering he also directed "Caddyshack", the first "Vacation", and "Groundhog Day".

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Yeah I'm not for the overrun city idea, at least not as a starting point. Maybe like the video game, where something draws a huge surge in ghosts, but I don't want it opening on some huge ghost apocalypse. The actors are getting OLD so I don't see why the concept of old-busters is so frowned upon. My honest concerns are bringing on a new cast that can still capture the spirit of the original cast while bringing something new to the table and with the ability to carry the franchise into the future.

Speaking of which , didn't Murray and Ramis have a falling out over this film.

 

[Webhead2006]

Seesh just because a actor/writer/director did a lousy/bad film. Doesn't mean the next film they do will be the same thing. Heck look at alot of folks who made a bad film. Then there next film or two is a big hit from audience/critics/money wise. And no ivan didn't direct year one. If u want to talk about a bad ivan film some would say my super ex girlfriend was bad which was directed by ivan.

 

[SoulManX]

Where is the franchise that Peter talked about...we should see GB Inc by now. We should see Ectomoblies running thur the city. The firehouse should be a training center and museum from all the adventures they had. To me that is the best way to start with Oscar getting kick out of college deciding to join the work force as a Ghostbuster!

So one bad movie and a guy is out? I think the brilliance of some of his other movies outweighs the bad ones.

 

[terry78]

The number one rule of fanboyism is that a director is only good when he has NO failures.

its fair to look at his last movie and be afraid that a new ghostbuster movie wouldnt work. i think Bill doest want to do the movie. but if Ramis had a mega hit he would think about it.

 

[8wid]

I'm against the idea of a Ghostbusters sequel with the original cast serving a primary role, so I'll leave it at that.

 

[Webhead2006]

Like I said before every actor/writer/director has there share of bad roles/scripts/films. So if they made a bad call who cares. If they can take that falirue and do the best they can next project and do well who cares.

 

[GregComicFan]

Ghostbusters is my favorite comedy of all time. With the right script and execution, I don't mind an all-new cast featuring the cinematic comics of today in Ghostbuster suits... as long as the chemistry works and it's FUNNY!!!

Yes, I definitely want the original cast back, especially Bill Murray, but I also think the idea of Ghostbusters is too awesome and appealing to disregard. A new cast could pull it off. It's not like they won't respect the original. They could easily make the new Ghostbusters take place in Chicago and just state that the Ghostbusters are a nation-wide franchise now and the original crew is still in NYC, as like an administrator position (like the Ghostbusters Main HQ)...

ps. I think the ghostbusters as a bunch of blue-collar losers works best, so for the record I hope ghostbusting isn't a national wide franchise.

Well the issue here is that it's literally not possible for them to make a movie without Bill, Harold, Dan and Ivan Reitman signing off on it. So it's highly unlikely a film is made without any of them being involved. I could see Bill Murray signing away his claim to it, but that's about it.

Thus, if a third movie ever happens, it certainly sounds like we're getting the beginning of GB2 rehashed - the company is out of business, probably because they were too successful at their job and the paranormal phenomenon have died down. It's plausible, really, since the only two times they've ever been "busy" in series canon was in the lead up to major paranormal events.

I wonder that, if a third movie happens, they'll take a few moments to have the staff comment on the latest fad of real-life ghost hunting shows, etc. Little meta humor.

you will not lose money if it bombs. your name will not be attached to the movie . so yes you dont care. Bill cares.

IMO the worst thing that could happen to Bill right now is that he goes back to an old franchise and makes a movie that bombs and gets negative reviews. the risk is to big for him as an actor. there is no ''lets try it out''.
