GHOSTBUSTERS 3 shooting this fall?!?!?!?

Source: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40204

Hey folks, Harry here... Well, this sure would be cool if it happens. At least, if it's a great script with a wonderful director and great talent attached. And and.. it sure would be nice to have 1 more great GHOSTBUSTERS movie.

n Boston to promote a new House of Blues, Dan Aykroyd answered some online questions for the Boston Globe - as is typical, the first question asked was about Ghostbusters 3 [Comment From Tom] Dan, I'm extremely excited for the HOB to be back in its birth-city!! I will be attending many shows. On a side note, and I'm sure you get these questions a lot, so I apologize in advance…Ghostbusters 3? I've heard that the writers of the Office are currently penning a script? How is this coming along, and should we look forward to this movie seeing the light of day? Thanks Dan! Dan Aykroyd: Script is commenced early summer. Hope to be in production by late fall 2009 What's it mean? Well, it doesn't mean a Ghostbusters 3 is a sure thing. It means that if all goes well, the script commissioned last year will hopefully get the green light by around June, and if that happens, then hopefully the movie will go into production in the Fall. So, excellent to hear Dan is still pushing forward with the film, but it's still not a done deal yet.

Apatow Productions Officially In Charge Of Ghostbusters 3

Judd Apatow's name has been attached the rumors about Ghostbusters 3 since they first began, with all reports saying he would be the producer for the film written by The Office writers Lee Eisenberg and Greg Stupnitsky. Now the production has gotten so close to actually happening that Production Weekly is listing it-- and wouldn't you know, Apatow Productions is right there in charge.

Sure, it's not huge news-- we could probably have assumed from the first rumor that Apatow would be involved, given that he's the reigning demi-god of comedy. But the inclusion in Production Weekly means the whole thing is actually happening, beyond just Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray getting asked awkward questions about the project's status. No actor names are attached to the Production Weekly piece, but at this point, it seems like only a matter of time before the gentlemen prepare to suit up a third time.

wow, maybe well actually be lucky and this might really happen

Harold Ramis Talks Ghostbusters III

http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1607995/story.jhtml



Original 'Ghostbusters' Cast Onboard For Reboot, Harold Ramis Says
'We're going to be the sage mentors,' says Ramis, who starred in and co-wrote the '80s comedy.

Two movie trends have converged and brought us a project that had been rumored for years that almost no one thought would actually happen.

Right now, remaking '80s comedies is hot ("Arthur" and "Beverly Hills Cop") and anything supernatural is really hot ("Twilight" and, uh, "Twilight"). To capitalize on these trends — or maybe just because it's not fair to deny longtime fans any longer — Columbia Pictures announced that a third "Ghostbusters" movie is in the works, two decades after the last one came out.

Earlier this week, Harold Ramis stopped by MTV News to chat about his new Jack Black comedy "The Year One" (in theaters June 19). But we also asked Ramis — who co-wrote the first two "Ghostbusters" movies and, of course, starred in them as uptight-but-lovable Dr. Egon Spengler — to dish details on the upcoming reboot.

Ramis promised that all the old core players will take part in the updated version, including Bill Murray (Dr. Peter Venkman) and Dan Aykroyd (Dr. Raymond Stantz), who co-wrote the original films. "We're all going to be in it in different kinds of roles," Ramis said. "We're going to be the sage mentors. There are going to be young Ghostbusters."

As of now, no decisions have been made about just who those new Ghostbusters will be. But with Judd Apatow signed on as a producer, the Internet has been buzzing with gossip that comedians from his cinematic universe, such as Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen, will join in.

At the moment, Ramis is waiting on a first draft of the script, which is being penned by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, two writer/producers on "The Office," who also wrote "Year One." "Gene and Lee, both of whom I mentored, are now writing the new 'Ghostbusters,' " Ramis said. "I'm consulting with them, as is Dan Aykroyd and [original director] Ivan Reitman.

"Bill Murray is just waiting for the truckload of money to arrive to get him out of his office," Ramis joked.

After taking a jab at his old friend, Ramis assured us that Murray is definitely "in," even though the two haven't communicated directly about the project. "I haven't talked to him about it," Ramis said. "I want to talk to him about it eventually. I think we just need a script, because he's the thorniest of the group."

Another open question is who will take over directing duties, since neither Ramis nor Reitman is planning on helming the picture. "I'm sure we're all hoping someone else will do it," the 64-year-old Ramis said. "It's a lot of work!"

While we await casting and directing news, Ramis was able to shoot down gossip about certain stars once thought to be attached to a third "Ghostbusters." "Here's how old the rumors are," Ramis said. "Chris Farley was one of the rumors. It was going to be Chris Farley, Ben Stiller and Chris Rock."

Whichever actors end up portraying the fresh crew of wisecracking ghost fighters will be in for a challenge. "Someone asked Seth [Rogen], and he said, 'What?' " Ramis recalled. "He said, 'That'd have to be one great f---ing script for anyone to touch that.' He's right about that."

i just read and listened to that shit on MYSPACE, i sure these guys knw what they are doin by bringin in new GBs, i hope so, cuz just like other movies it could be ruined real easy, Judd Apptow or how ever ya spell his name IS a very writer and director and shit, but his kinda funny aint GB material

If GBIII will look like most latest Judd Apatow comedy's we're gonna see Seth Rogen smoking weed with slimer

Yeah but like Seth Rogen told H.R.......The Script has got to be damned fuckin great for any one to fuck with GB.....but i dunno if i can dig them as new GBs.....i dunno, iam so hardcore for Originality with GBs that i think ill be disapointed

Yeah, I also want to see GBIII just with the original cast, it never will be the same with a new team, that's the thing I hated in the last Indiana Jones movie putting Shia LaBeouf more in front of the camera because he's more popular by teenagers these days then Harrison Ford and that's also the group of people that's going most to the cinema, it's just big business, probably the new team will be all popular actor's of these days and the story will be most focus on them, the original cast are probably just there for supported roles.

See if they do that, you know how much money they are goin to lose? i mean Really, Orignaly fans from the originaly 4 are ganna be like, are you fuckin poeple retarded? and i garauntee that Seth Rogen and them other guys are ganna feel the same way do to the fact that they grew up around that time and they are prob fans of them, i dunno, i just dont think GB franchise should be fucked wit at all, unless of course its just the orignals doin the movie as a retirement thing, bust some ghosts kick some ass and then ya know, the storyline should be based 20 yrs l8er and they are still kickin ass, it aint been real busy, they get the call of there lives and boom retiremment millionaires, ya know?

It probably will make a lot of more money if they cast popular actors of these days as new GBs so non GB fans will go see it because those actors are hot today in Hollywood, like I said it's just big business.

It's not that Seth Rogen always been rumored to be a new GB he's in it and even if he thinks the script sucks and not want to be in GBIII they will cast someone else.

But like I said I only want to see the original cast busting ghosts one last time and end it like a trilogy and in a way they could lock the portal to spook central once and for all so they can't make other GB movies but that won't happen.

GB is a franchise and they can make tons of movies, cartoons, tv series with new characters in it, I'm still surprised that in 25 years they didn't made more then 2 movies and 2 cartoons of it, look at Star Trek or Stargate, how many spin offs series they already made of those franchises.

But looks like Sony wants to be carefully with 25 year old franchise:

Karate Kid Remake Retitled The Kung Fu Kid. hahahaha yes , hopefully it isn't an early April fool joke. lol
