Ghostbusters 3

[Mark Preus]

Ghostbusters are still my two most favorite movies. I'll go see it regardless.

Yeah same here. I just watched the first one and I'm watching the 2nd one now.

At one point there were rumors that Murray would play a ghost in the movie. I guess not.

[Lason]

Yep, Im with the majority. No Bill Murray no care.

That poster is fucking awesome. As a kid of the 80s I loved 1 and 2, and will deffinetly see #3 (as long as there is no Jack Black).

Looking worse and worse. Why don't they remake Stripes or Caddyshack while they're at it.


Ivan Reitman has stepped down from the director’s chair for Sony’s Ghostbusters reboot, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Ivan Reitman Talks ‘Ghostbusters III,’ ‘Baywatch’ Movie and ‘Private Parts’ Sequel

'Ghostbusters III' Script to Be Reworked Following Harold Ramis' Death
Reitman, 67, directed 1984's original Ghostbusters and its 1989 sequel, but he has agreed to pass the torch to a new filmmaker. The studio has begun a search for that director.

The move is the latest twist in the years-long effort to make a follow-up movie in the supernatural comedy franchise. As THR reported Feb. 25, Reitman and writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnisky were finalizing the latest draft of the script but the death of Harold Ramis — who co-wrote and starred in the first two films along with Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray and was set for a small role in the third film — required tweaks to the script.
Reitman will remain on the project as a producer and he and the studio hope production on the new film will begin in early 2015. Murray is not expected to reprise his role.

Sony has been trying to mount a third Ghostbusters movie for numerous years and has had several versions of the script. But the stickler in the process has always been Murray, who hemmed and hawed about participating and had a strained relationship with Ramis.

Earlier versions of the script, written by Eisenberg and Stupnitsky (with Ramis and Dan Aykroyd overseeing), was to feature both the original Ghostbusters and a new crop of characters.

The more recent scripts shifted the project into more of a reboot than a sequel and featured the original members only in cameos.

They need to leave this movie alone. The first two were perfect, lets not fuck it up with a shitty reboot. I hate Hollywood anymore, all they want to do is fuck up my childhood memories.

This thing is still trying to get on its feet.


A consistent source of controversy among movie fans is the fact that whether we like it or not, Ghostbusters III seems to be an inevitability we're doomed to experience. Those same fires were stoked even hotter when news got out that out of all the directors being considered to take over the 30-year-old franchise, Bridesmaids director Paul Feig was the frontrunner for the honors of taking the director's chair. Which brings us to today, in which the possibility of an all-female reboot of Ghostbusters seems closer than ever. Strangely enough, one of Ghostbusters III's founding detractors is now on record as one of those approving this new scenario.

Schmoes Know and Access Hollywood collaborator, Scott Mantz, had the honor of picking Murray's mind on the matter, and what he had to say might surprise the legions of fans against the idea of women with proton packs strapped to their backs.

"It sounds great to me. It sounds as good an idea as any other! There are a lot of women that could scare off any kind of vapor! No, it’s a grand idea, I don’t know who they’re talking about, but it’s a good idea, I would watch it! I mean, I love Robert Palmer’s videos, so why wouldn’t I love the female Ghostbusters?"

Robert Palmer metaphor aside, Bill Murray's support of a female-centric Ghostbusters film is probably coming from two thoughts that are going through his head right now. Murray seems like a progressive fellow, who believes the idea can hold some serious clout if it were put into action. But more importantly, if it's an all female Ghostbusters flick, he won't be badgered to take part in it anymore. He won't have to shred the script and mail it back this time, because he won't get a script and he can go on to pursue his now standard blend of event pictures, indie think pieces, and anything that fits into his golf schedule.

While the idea of a woman-run Ghostbusters franchise isn't going to win all of the die hard fans overnight, it's nice to know that one of the original paranormal investigators is a-ok with the legacy being put into the hands of an opposite gender team. It's just further proof that Bill Murray is exactly the guy we all think he is, and he's still as cool as we'd like him to be. Rock on, Bill.

Ghostbusters III is still in the pre-production phases, but you can see Bill Murray next in St. Vincent on October 24th. He can also be seen in HBO's mini-series Olive Kitteridge, which is set to premiere on November 2nd, as well as Jon Favreau's currently in production adaptation of The Jungle Book. Or, if you're lucky enough, he'll show up at some random event in your life and give you a fun anecdote to pass on to your friends.
