Ghostbusters 3

[terry78]

Residuals from all the movies or franchises the three of them have ever made, even with Ghostbusters not in the mix, has them set up until they die.

yea i said it the other day it would be very disapointing if things dont pan out, since we are so much closer today compared to the various 90s attempts at another film. Bill he has always been the harder one to please, but the others are playing it cool and well they all want to do it. We know its not official to the official greenlit/production number comes in.

I dont think this will get greenlit to be honest. They did this same thing back in 99 with Dan's "Hellbent" script. Bill doesn't sound too enthused about the new script.

Hellbent didn't have the entire cast besides Murray pimping it for years.

Hellbent didn't have Ivan Reitman getting giddy over it.

Hellbent didn't have studio-sponsored websites launching to support it.

Hellbent didn't show up when an 80s-retro kick was in full force.

Hellbent didn't come up right after a very successful video game.

And so on...

Murray has carved a career of more than just a comedy actor. It makes it harder for him to go into a movie with a subpar script than say a Dan Akroyd (sp?) for example.

iamlegend's right on all counts. The sequel has a lot of momentum right now, especially coming off the quality and success of the video game. I think it's fair to say that the creative forces involved felt more rewarded from that than they did with Ghostbusters 2. With all of the retro revisits that have come out (Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, Live Free or Die Hard, Rocky Balboa, Rambo, and Indiana Jones and the Blah Blah Skull), they have a pretty good template of do's and don'ts. Bill's lack of enthusiasm doesn't really bother me, as the guy doesn't really seem to be enthusiastic about anything he does anymore.

Hudson hearsay sez Reitman guessing a Fall 2010 GB3 start

I’m posting this partially because its intriging and partly as a test of my no-comments-for-GB3-posts resolution.
Top notch PC reader and Philly GB member EDFX got to meet Ernie Hudson at the Big Apple Con this weekend in New York. The guys got a great photo with him, as well as a video interview – not included on the tape, but rather told to them afterwards by Mr. Hudson, is that Ivan Reitman has contacted him about a third Ghostbusters and that Ivan Reitman is guessing on a Fall 2010 filming start.
So, to recap, for those that are reality or impulse impaired – this is hearsay (ie, Hudson told the Philly GBs) of intent (Reitman contacted Ernie just to check on things – schedule timing, etc. most like) and a guess (Reitman is guessing on a Fall 2010 start, leaving a year for the principles to clear their work schedule for GB3, and assuming Sony says OK.)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – sometimes some details have to be started before the money starts to come in and cameras start to roll, meaning Reitman, who intends to make the film, has to get an idea of when everyone will be free now, even before Sony says OK. Otherwise Sony says OK, and THEN they start to schedule things… which means it doesn’t start until later, which means it doesn’t get done and released until later&#8230
Thanks Ed and Co.
OK, it’s 9:10 on Sunday…
…how long until this is all over the movie news sites, who are currently Ghostbusters 3 Insane!?

double post.

 

[scifiwolf]

What a great bit of news to double post!

 

[Dr. Evil]

What a great bit of news to double post!

I don't think this film will be made though.

 

[Webhead2006]

well as we all been saying here sure things could easily all fall apart and we get no film. But this time around its alot closer to happening compared to the various 90s attempted dan tried to get going. First we had the game which sold well i believe, all the originals were back and very happy to do the game. So that peaked their interest in it. We know their is a script done(now probably various rewrites will go down). We know ivan/dan/harold liked the script, no clue on ernie/ and we know murray is a hard case on ghostbusters. But we are like so close for it happening. Like as dan said in that vid i posted the other day we are just waiting for the official greenlite from the studio and then it would be officially in production. Compared to just script stage. Now hopefully it will happen. So then we can get ivan officially signed on as director, they can start prep work, and then hopefully be filming by late summer/fall next year for a likely 2012 summer release.

I'm starting to think that all this Ghostbusters 3 news is one big prank between the cast. Like Aykroyd calls up Ramis one evening because his bored and says ''You'd what would be hilarious? If we announced that a Ghostbusters 3 was happening, but it isn't really, but we keep saying it is and the both of us keep changing the news every week to confuse the **** out of everyone''. Then I think Murray got in on the joke and pushed things even further by appearing in Zombieland and teasing us with all the Ghostbusters references.

Oh Hudson and gang, I shall not fall for this prank. I'm going to wise up and call you all bluff until I see photo with all of you in ghostbusting gear...

 

[Webhead2006]

cool manip, and no way it would be a prank. We know harold and dan been wanting to do another film for years. But first it was studio not interested/murray not wanting to do it. Then finally the game happen. Everyone was in a good place. There is alot of interest in the property again and with the recent(past few years) of old film series/tv shows getting revived on the big screen its perfect time.

 

[scifiwolf]

I think we can all agree that the climate never has been, and never will be again, so right for the third movie. It seems as if the story is there, and maybe the script is up to par. I'd say the biggest obstacle is Bill. He did participate for the video game, but that's not quite so involved as filming a major motion picture. Hopefully this is something he will wholeheartedly commit to.

 

[Octoberist]

i think it's time for the Ghostbuster mascot to be an actual ghost for part 3!

 

[Webhead2006]

oh that would be sweet move octoberist, and yea right now this year has been the closest ever for gb3 to ever happen. Now we are pretty much at that final step waiting for green lit from studio and its given production number. So then we can get into prep work, and finalizing the deal for the originals, who ever is new crew, etc..... elements.

Hey, despit ehis distaste for his time with GBII etc., he was pretty ok to do Zombieland, if anyone knows what I mean.

Aykroyd rephrases Murray, says new team will be unknowns

Dan Aykroyd spoke briefly this week to NY Magazine and expounded on Murray’s comment that he liked some of the new script, but not all of the script, saying “This one? No [Murray hasn't been critical of it]. He likes it.”
Aykroyd also reaffirmed the plan to extend the franchise past the original team by introducing a new team, a mix of male and female, but he put some new emphasis on picking unknowns (something that would work better should the actors be called for more than one movie, as well as help manage the budget of a film that has to pay a lot of big names just to get started.)
Thanks to Nevil for the heads up!

Nice to see first dan say murray likes the current script. After that video interview from a week or two ago saying bill is still hesitant and all that. Also nice to see Dan would like the new crew to be unknowns. I think that would be a good move there.

[LostSon88]

I like the idea of going with unknowns...as it would make sense on a financial front as the original 4 will command a signficiant amount of the budget just for returning.

Though personally I don't like the idea of 2 guy 2 girl split for the new team. I'd like to see a 3 guy 1 girl team. That's a much more interesting team dynamic to me.

 

[Webhead2006]

actually from Dan earlier this year he wanted to go 5 team and either be 4 guys and 1 girl or 3 guys and 2 girls i believe. But we wont know for sure whats happening to any more script details come out. I hope we get the official green lit within the next two months from the studio.

 

[TMC1982]

Murray has carved a career of more than just a comedy actor. It makes it harder for him to go into a movie with a subpar script than say a Dan Akroyd (sp?) for example.

As a matter of fact, in order to get Bill Murray to do the first Ghostbusters movie, Columbia Pictures had to allow him to star in a more dramatic film called The Razor's Edge.

 

[RonStoppablefan]

I heard Shia might be in this one, any one know about this? At least that's what going around the IMB forums.

 

[Brian2887]

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.

 

[terry78]

2 guys and 2 girls seems somewhat Scooby-like, but we'll see.
