!!!!!!!

Okay. So I'm not going to get too excited, since Ghostbusters 3 has been in and out of development hell for years. Most of the problems seemed to deal with Dan Aykroyd and the studios, but this has new writers...from The Office.

Yes, it's not written by the original team--but really, who would bother to write Ghostbusters 3 except those who truly love Ghostbusters?

I sincerely hope this happens, and Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddemore get back together. And damn it, I hope Rick Moranis comes out of his retirement to play Louis again.

I just want this to happen. I don't care who is involved or what. I just want to see more Ghostbusters. Hell, I even settled for that terrible Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon from the late 90s.

The 90's cartoon was the shit! I loved it.

Wow really? The one with the Ghostbuster in a wheel chair, and the goth girl?

WHAT?!?! WHAT IS THAT?!?!!? No, I had no idea that even existed. I meant the one with Garfield as Venkman.

I guess that wasn't the "extreme" one.

I also love the fact that Venkman looks NOTHING like Bill Murray. In fact, none of them really look like anyone from the movies. I guess Winston is black and Egon wears glasses. That's a similarity.

haha thats because they actors didnt want their likenesses i assume...thats why they look totally different...same thing happens whenever they make a Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt video game or toy or whatever and it looks nothing like Tom Cruise.

Extreme Ghostbusters are different people but they still resemble the originals.
There's Egon, Winston, Soul Patch Peter, and Wheelchair Ray.
The girl is just some dumb bitch.

Yeah. They had licensing issues with the actors' likenesses. One weird thing I heard was this: Lorenzo Music was the original cartoon voice of Venkman, but was replaced by Dave "Uncle Joey" Coulier a couple seasons in. Apparently, this was because Bill Murray commented that Lorenzo Music sounded like Garfield and not like him.

How freaking ironic did that become when Bill Murray went on to play Garfield too?

Extreme Ghostbusters was definitely a pale imitation of the original Real Ghostbusters cartoon, but they at least tried to keep it within the original cartoon's continuity, which I thought was cool at the time. There was even an episode with all four original Ghostbusters with their 80's voice actors.

I was coming here to write the exact same thing. But since you took it from me, I offer this...

Russell Casse · **Posted:** September, 5, 2008 - 11:10am

I can't believe I actually watched episodes of that over at your house...

Phil · **Posted:** September, 5, 2008 - 11:16am

I can't believe I actually own episodes of it show you in the first place.

I saw that at best buy and laughed at it

Harold Ramis told the Chicago Tribune this.....

Quote:

yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my year one writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing year one and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. not much else to say at this point. everyone is confident a decent script can be written and i guess we'll take it from there.
best,
harold

Hollywood really is a whore daddy. Stop bringing back the old heads! Leave them be! There is no need for a GB3. Come up with some new ideas for frak sake!

What!? Get out of this thread. Ghostbusters 3 is a MUST.

I don't know man, after Indy 4..... I have very little faith in these bring the old guys back for one last movie deals. But then again, George Lucas was involved with Indy.

Phil · **Posted:** September, 8, 2008 - 4:46pm

Indy 4 is.... awesome

Is it though? Ghostbusters 3 was a must 15 years ago. If they HAVE to put another one out, I just hope they keep to the high expectations and don't release just any piece of shit.

Phil · **Posted:** September, 8, 2008 - 5:10pm

They won't dude. All the proper people are involved, plus Apatow. It's a solid mix of classic and the new guys in charge of this project. It's exactly what it needs. I know Aykroyd and Ramis have been wanting to write a new GB since GB2, but there were all sorts of problems with the rights to it. Hopefully that's all ironed out and we'll have a proper follow up to GB2 which will hopefully also serve as a spring board for a new franchise.

JW_Number_ONE · **Posted:** September, 8, 2008 - 5:27pm

As long as Bill Murray has some role in it, then GB3 is an absolute must.

Bowie · **Posted:** September, 8, 2008 - 5:30pm

I can honestly say I'm getting tired of the Apatow movies.
