Ghostbusters 3

[Webhead2006]

shia is likely not going to be in this, he is busy with other things, and if what dan said the other day is true, he wants the new crew to be unknowns.

 

[Dr. Evil]

When Dan means "unknowns" he could either mean one of two things:

- This is the first movie for that certain actor, although he/she may have had acting experience on TV or commercials.
- Actor who's done a few films, but has yet to really break out as a named star.

I still don't think this movie gets done, but we'll see.

 

[Webhead2006]

well this time they are so much closer to happening then any of the attempts in the 90s.

A Ghostbusters reference in Zombieland (for those that have not seen it):

[Webhead2006]

thats cool

 

[TMC1982]

Emma Stone will be one of the new Ghost Busters. Murray loved working with her in Zombieland, and rumor has it they're gonna be using young hot lady ghost busters in this one.

Emma Stone will be in it. I would put money on it.

I wonder if Extreme Ghostbusters (which was a sequel to The Real Ghostbusters about Egon tutoring four new ghosbusters) should be partially cannonized for the big screen if they're going for the "whole new team" angle.

 

[Webhead2006]

it would probably share traits to it likely.

if any one likes the band Hoobstank they have a music video/song cover of the ghostbusters theme:

I was listening to that weird ass radio show, COAST 2 COAST (they talk about paranormal stuff ) on AM radio this past Thursday, and Dan Ackroyd was on plugging his father's ghost book and talking about the paranormal ( dude really knows alot about it forreal). Anyway, a caller asked him about GB 3, and he replied that 2 years ago, it wasn't going to happen, but now he's positive that it will be happening in the near future. Not much info, I know, but it helps.

if any one likes the band Hoobstank they have a music video/song cover of the ghostbusters theme:

Could totally see them using this in the end credits of the new movie...

 

[Webhead2006]

i thought it was a good cover, and man the video was funny. To bad they didnt have an ecto car.

Posted this as my choice for a new lady GB over on GBFans.com

Allison Scagliotti.

She was recently on Warehouse-13 as the endearingly nerdy Claudia Donovan. She showed she could handle humor and technology based sci-fi in spades, and her first appearance, of all things, featured her trying to bring back the ghost of her older brother.

Not to mention, I have an enormously large crush on her.

But seriously, she looks so good in those goggles and gloves.

She's next scheduled to appear as Jayna, one half of the Wonder Twins, on the Smallville episode "Idol".

Here's a couple interviews with her on G4. I couldn't find any really sufficient clips of her in W-13 on youtube, but you see a little bit in the clips they show:




She's also capable of impromptu dancification, should it be a requirement:

Other than a few appearances on the show "Drake and Josh" awhile back, Warehouse 13 and the upcoming Smallville episode are the biggest things she's done, so I think she's still relatively unknown, especially in regards to never having done anything as potentially big as Ghostbusters 3. She'd be like 21 I think by the time filming started if it does happen in the next year or so. The only forseeable conflict would be if she was still filming Warehouse-13 at the time.

Also, I found this cover not to long ago. If they do like they did in GB2 and change up the mid film montage with a remix/cover of the song (Run DMC in GB2), I could see this being used, especially if it was the new crew featured during the montage:

 

[Webhead2006]

i would be down with her, enjoyed her work so far on warehouse 13, cant wait to see how she turns out as one of the wonder twins on smallville. So she would be a choice for me as a new young buster. Also that cover isnt to bad.

 

[Timstuff]

I was fooling around in Toon Boom and Photoshop and ended up drawing this:



I'll probably tinker with it some more this week. I'd like to try and work the original 4 GB's into a verticle format picture, along with the unidentified rookies.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I like the casting chices, and that's a nice little poster Timstuff. however, JackIvy, i'd probably want to shoot myself if they used that redo of the theme song. It's too emo sounding for my tastes, and doesn't come off catcxhy like any of the music from the first two films.

 

[KenK]

Either Stone or Scagliotti would be great choices, that's for sure. Would the filmmakers be going for that age range, though? Granted, I'd still love to see a grown-up Oscar (Dana Barrett's son) become a ghostbuster, and he'd only be about 21 by now. But I'd definitely love to see a female GB in the mix. If only for the comedic potential, compared to the first films, and it was all so male-centric. I'd like to see them mix it up.

I don't know who else I'd want to see as far as actors, though. I think when they were trying to do this in the mid-90s, inclusions like Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, and Chris Farley would have been pretty cool, but between Farley dying, and Rock and Stiller being that much older, and having done so much of their own stuff, the idea has since faded. I could probably see someone like Paul Dano, or maybe Joel David Moore, as for as the overly nerdy member of the team.

 

[Webhead2006]

dan did mention months ago oscar could likely be included in the film and if he is he would be in his early 20s, so maybe if scagliotti was cast she could be a friend of his or something. So that is how she gets connected with the GBs. As for the rest of the new busts i would say they could likely pick like 2 young 20 somethings, then maybe two slightly older people in early 30s.

Wasn't there a cartoon series that has new busters who were working for Egon. One was in a wheel chair. One was a girl who has black hair and i cannot recall the other teens in iy

"Why the World Needs Ghostbusters 3"

Ghostbusters 3 has been lusted after since the second one nearly two decades ago. Lately there seems to be the will to get it done, but the project continues sputtering around in development hell with Dan Akyroyd declaring that he’s already tuning up Ecto 1 and on the other side crotchety Bill Murray insistant that it’ll never get done. But Bill, we need it to get done. The world needs Ghostbusters 3 and I’m here to tell you why.

Science is in trouble.

On film our heroes are underage *****e bags who befriend robots or children with mystical powers or worse, vapid bimbos who lust after fangless vampires. Peter Parker the awkward but brilliant student from the comics has been replaced by Peter Parker that emo kid who whines about relationships. Batman is still a detective, but he steals all his best gadgets from the hapless, underpaid inventors in his mega-corporation’s cellar. Indiana Jones, former man of science, hides inside a fridge to escape a nuclear explosion. Wolverine is a product of science, but he’d like the scientists who did it dead and spends most of the time trying to stab anyone who knows how to use a particle accelerator. Dr. Robert Langdon wastes his degrees solving cases to help shore up fervent religious belief in the corrupt Catholic Church. Star Wars has turned into a religion in which people worship microscopic aliens. Watching Jesus being beat to death by Mel Gibson’s camera was a moviegoing event of unparalleled scale and the less said about The Chronicles of Narnia’s Christ obsession the better. In WALL-E it was science that made everyone fat and in The Matrix we’re all just batteries plugged into science’s mechanical menace. Paranormal Activity is the number one movie at the box office this weekend because it makes a world full of mysticism and evil spirits seem like reality, a reality beyond our control.

Out in the real world it’s much the same. Our last president was afraid of witches and I’m pretty he sure came up with his foreign policy after watching The Exorcist. More recently, doctors can’t get people to take needed vaccinations because they prefer conspiracy theories to cold hard fact. Bill Nye The Science Guy got booed in Waco for telling people that the Moon reflects sunlight and our kids don’t know if they evolved from monkeys or simply burst into being one afternoon when Jehovah got tired of watching Married with Children reruns. Science has long stopped being cool and skepticism is now regarded with, well, skepticism. Even with the environment crumbling and the world collapsing, no one wants to be one of those nerdy lab coat dudes who, incidentally, might be able to fix it all. Unemployment may be on the rise but American companies can’t hire enough brainpower to keep afloat. People would rather work at McDonalds than learn physics.

Ghostbusters 3 could change all of that.

Twenty years ago science wasn’t in trouble. “Back off, I’m a scientist!” shouted Peter Venkman. Ghostbusters was a product of a brighter time; a time when science trumped everything and where, occasionally, being smart meant getting the girl. It’s a movie which is, quite simply, about science kicking the supernatural’s ass. We ain’t afraid of no ghosts because we’ll blast them to bits with proton packs strapped to our back and loaded for bear. The unknown was just a speed bump which could, with enough brain power, be crushed into submission and be forced to drive our public transportation or animate national landmarks for our amusement. Scientists were rock stars like Ian Malcolm or poon hounds like the aforementioned Venkman. Kids used science to create supermodel slaves and adults used it to soup up exotic sports cars and travel back in time.

Mysticism and ghostly obsessions have had their fun, now it’s time for science to step in, cross streams, and blast these supernatural apparitions back into the past where they belong. We’re drowning in ghosts. Who you gonna call? Might I suggest the Ghostbusters? They take on the supernatural with brains and brawn. They’re the antidote we need to a growing pop cultural environment of fear and mysticism and they have a catchy theme song. Americans aren’t likely to listen to the sales pitch of actual scientists, we can’t even get everyone on board with this whole global warming thing. But we’ll all hum along to that Ghostbusters song and in a subtle way, movies like it can influence the way we all think about the world around us. Got a problem? We can solve it without a spirit medium or by handing over our children to priests for molestation. All you need is a couple of scientists and a proton pack.

Extreme Ghostbusters. The team was made up of students from Egon's Parapsychology class (they were the ONLY students, actually). The other two were Roland (the brain) and Eduardo (the slacker).

Dork.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Most if not all the eps of Extreme Ghostbusters. are on youtube.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i seen a few here and there, i wouldnt be to mad if they borrowed a few ideas from that show for new busters. As i said one or two could be college age(oscar and another) then we get a slightly older guys who are more like the original 4 at the time of gb1/2.

 

[Arbiter]

i have half my dream crew already, still need 2 or 3 more.

im trying to pick great people who fit the role but arent to big yet.

 

[JackIvyGB]

Nice sig! James Roday is another GREAT choice, and of course I support Allison.

I think Emma Stone would be great as well, I don't know why I didn't think of her. She has an in as well, knowing Murray from Zombieland.

Next time someone sees these people at a con or somewhere else, they should ask them how they'd feel about being a GB, and mention that they were "brought up online as someone that could fit the role well". Maybe if a news site hears them comment on it, possibly saying they'd love the chance to be a GB (cause really, who wouldn't?!), maybe it could generate a little buzz behind our favorite choices. Of course, I'm sure Sony and others involved may have choices in mind, but I don't think it would hurt to try and help bring a little attention to certain actors and hope that someone close to production catches wind of it...
