Ghostbusters 3

[Victarion]

The thing I didn't like about GB2 was that it kinda set the 'busters back at first, you know? Like having to get reestablished. Plus it didn't have enough scares like the dogs from the 1st movie.

It felt like something was missing while watching ghostbuster 2 but i cant quite put my finger on it .

The first seemed, I don't want to say darker, but more cynical and adult. Everybody smoked, there was more sarcasm as opposed to silliness, it's wasn't as deliberately feel-good (the necessity of good feelings literally being central to 2's plot). It feels like there was a greater awareness of kids and the family audience in the second.

At the time it was the biggest comedy ever so the studio probably gave notes to make it more family friendly so they could get even a wider audience/sell more merchandise.

Just like the Burton Batman franchise.

You should be greatful. I certainly am.

Do you want to see (another) legend of your childhood turned into an expensive, bloated, aging cash-in?

HELL NO!!!

The first is my fave.. I'm unsure about a 3rd although the promotion/marketing/hype behind a 3rd could be immense (I mean a simple black teaser poster with 'Who ya gonna call?' and a date, similar to the teaser for the game, would do it for me).

Personally though, I'd be ok with a remake, providing it wasn't just a typical Frat Pack style comedy, kept the same tone while injecting some new energy/ideas and they used the same style for the ghosts..

Venkman: Paul Rudd/David Duchovny
Ray: Ron Livingston
Egon: Hank Azaria
Winston: Orlando Jones
Louis: Steve Zahn

I just saw Knocked Up for the first time this weekend and when I saw Egon it just made me really happy for some reason.

In this no-budget sequel, it picks up years later as the Ghostbusters have offices in every state, which I thought was a good way to go. I really don't like the idea of a remake. A simple continuation seems much more natural.

 

[Octoberist]

as flawed as part 2 was, it was still a fun movie.

and no remakes, please. i think Akroyd and Reitman owns the rights to Ghostbusters anyway.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea as i said before the better ruote to go and not reboot/remake the series is to go the ways of extreme ghostbusters and have the old team retiring from busting ghost and they want to train a new team. This way as i said we can get any of the original actors to come back in cameo roles and then also maybe as i said have dana's son oscer be a new GB. Hopefully we get something good out of the game and maybe a new movie and/or a new animated show or something.

 

[tyler-durden]

Yeah, hopefully the game will put Ghostbusters back in people's minds.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i know, i hope to get the game as soon as i can when it comes out. hopefully we can get a new live action film, if not then cgi film, or maybe a new series. As i said best ruote for a film with all the original actors so old and all that would be extreme ghostbusters route with a new team coming in and getting trained by old one. So then cameo/guest spots can be done more easily and worked out between the actors and all that.

as long as parents now still show their kids old movies like Ghostbusters, they will never die.

Look at the Goonies, for example. It's really based on the parents. When I do have kids, I will show them the stuff that I liked for sure.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea i am only 23 but i love alot of the classic 80s films i seen as a small kid or growing up during the 90s and all that. If/when i have kids i will probably show them all the films i love.

 

[Octoberist]

that's how certain movies remain in the public concensus.

WIth me, my taste in movies became more diverse when I got into college. I got into the movies of the 70s to the 40s.

The fans will always be there. Ghostbusters will always be here. just keep it alive.

"I love you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
"I'm the best thing that's ever happened to you?"
"Yes."
"Now I just feel sorry for YOU..."

Why not make ghostbuster tv show with real people.

Why not make ghostbuster tv show with real people.

With today's effects, they could probably do it.

 

[tyler-durden]

it would be pretty cool and I would tune in.

 

[The Geek Vault]

See the fan made sequel online! It's so awesome, it has this part where the media turns against the busters becasue they say they are trapping lost souls! How genous is that!

 

[Webhead2006]

YEa a live action show if budgeted right could easily work. I wouldnt mind seeing that.

 

[comic_guy04]

Why not a mentor situation, where the older Ghostbusters are teaching their sons, or just a younger group of people to take over the buisness. That way the originals can be in it but not have to carry the entire film.

 

[tyler-durden]

Not even the whole group just keep Egon around (for the imaginative tv series) played by harold ramis himself and have him mentor a new group of Ghostbusters

 

[PyroChamber]

Enough though it seems that Egon is the smartest and he created most if not all of the equipment; couldn't Ray, Peter, or Winston be a teacher instead?

 

[Webhead2006]

they all could be. And if a 3rd live action film did happen as i said in a few posts here going extreme ghostbusters show way would be a good way to continue the film series and like i said leaves it open for various length in appearance roles for the originals and all that.
