Ghostbusters 3

[Webhead2006]

We will have to see who ultimately is picked. Sure some names are mentioned but they might not sign up, just are looked at but isn't signed. We will see.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I do have a feeling Farris will be in it.

 

[Webhead2006]

I still wouldn't mind if she was picked. We don't know what her character will be or how she will play it. Sure in other roles she been the ditzy person but that was that role. Gb role could be totally different for her.

 

[iamlegend]

So far NONE of the names mentioned match what the names Dan Aykroyd, Rick Moranis and Bill Murray meant in 1984. It was lightning in a bottle.

This is true, and something fans will have to accept, I suppose. It's not just that the original was the perfect blend - it's also that comedy has drastically changed in the last 26 years. What's funny changes on a nearly month to month basis, the top breeding ground from '84 (SNL) is a shadow of its former self...

I just hope that if the film happens they cast characters that actually bring the kind of chemistry and array of emotions the original crew did. To me, folks like Anna Faris hasn't displayed any of the range necessary to complete that - and she's been a regular in the business for 10 years, so there's no reason to think she's just been bottling up legitimate acting chops.

Aykroyd also mentioned Eliza Dushku in the radio interview he did.

If anyone's curious...

Spoiler

If I recall correctly, he's been mentioning Eliza as a GB3 candidate for almost a decade. t: Me thinks Dan has a crush.

Dushku

 

[Webhead2006]

She wouldn't be bad either. Hopefully they do find a quality cast and they work good togther. But like above poster said, comedy from there snl time/70s-80s is alot different from todays. Hopefully tthey can mix the two together and find a good balance.

I'm not so much worried about the movie being appealing - I mean, it's Ghostbusters, how can it not be? I'm worried that there just aren't many comedians left that can do what Aykroyd, Ramis and Murray did... They were funny, but made the film and its events seem serious and real despite the sheer goofiness of the premise.

Today's generation is full of parody-driven, foul-language spewing, unoriginal hacks.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well hopefully with the old guys there they csn help mold who ever is picked into a decent style.

 

[antsman41]

Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney is the closest from "today's comedy" that reminds me of 70's SNL.

That's why those guys were so great . I want to enjoy GB3 but if I give it a high level of expectations it will disappoint me. I'll just be happy if I like it more than GB2 .

 

[Chris B]

I'd welcome Hader. Forte would be okay, but he's never done much for me. Though I can't see Farris as a GB.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well hopefully we will get a solid cast on board this.

 

[Primal Slayer]

If this does get made, they have to have Eliza as a ghostbuster finally.

 

[Dave McFly]

I just hope they bring the '59 Caddy Ambulance aka Ecto 1 out of retirement for the new film . heck make it look like it did in the video game the Ecto 1B .

I'd rather see the reverse... not based on what they've done (since Hader has been significantly more successful), but based on how I feel like they'd be adapted to fit the GB theme.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

I'd like the new 4 Ghostbusters to be:

1. Danny McBride
2. Bill Hader
3. Zach galifianakis
4. Justin Long


5. Mark Randall ( As Oscar, in training )

Well I would think oscar would probably be the one who is top new gb since he been around the originals all his life and probably helped them if they didn't retire shortly after events of second film. As cfor the ecto car I am sure it will be in film no reason it wouldn't. But I wouldn't be surprise if we see the new gb bust out a new modern car for themselfs.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

I think it would be unwise from a writing standpoint to make Oscar the leader or top new guy of the new GB. The second movie came out in what? '89'?, assuming the events take place in the same year, Oscar was born in 1989, meaning he'd only be 22/23 by the time the third film is released in 2011/12. While the others it seems will be cast around their early 30's. Seems to me that Oscar doesn't deserve to be a top anything. Although he's been a round the originals for a long time, people who are older naturally have more of the maturity & understanding to lead a team, whereas someone Oscars age would probably be more reckless. It'd be what people call, "Jumping The Shark". That's my POV, Make of it what you will.

[Webhead2006]

I see your view but we don't know how oscar is going to be written. Then how the other new gb come on board. Hopefully once some casting is offical we get a few new story details.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

From what Aykroyd has mentioned previously, the leader of the new team will be a female:

"There'll be a whole new generation that has to be trained and a leader that you'll all love when you meet her," says Aykroyd. "There'll be lots of cadets, boys and girls who'll be learning how to use the neuron splitter and the inter-planet interceptor - new tools to enable them to slip from dimension to dimension."

[Webhead2006]

Well that was from last yr. Who knows what has changed since then. Though can't wait to see story/cast revealed.

Why speculate on what might have changed, instead of just going by what we already know as being true.

I like the idea of the leader being one of the new female members.

It doesn't make sense to make Oscar the leader. If anything he'll probably be the youngest of the group.

 

[PyroChamber]

I was just thinking, what if it's more than 4 new Ghostbusters?

Hasn't it been noted that there is or will be a type of a Ghostbusters' Inc. like the new Batman Inc.?

Meaning it has or will have [in the new movie] world wide or atleast nationwide collections of Ghostbusters.
