Comments on: Ghostbusters Set To Return? http://themovieblog.com/2008/07/ghostbusters-set-to-return The Official Home of Correct Movie Opinions Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:28:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Shane http://themovieblog.com/2008/07/ghostbusters-set-to-return#comment-153528 Shane Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:43:05 +0000 http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/07/ghostbusters-set-to-return#comment-153528 I have heard that Bill Murray absolutely REFUSES to do anymore physical roles. He remains adamant that if there will be one, then it will be CGI animated with all their voices. All four guys agree that they DON'T want the Ghostbusters to age and pass the torch. This is their brainchild, and they refuse to give it up. As for the prospect of a "pass the torch" type of trilogy, I just don't think it would be the same. Ghostbusters without Ray, Egon, Peter, and WInston would be like a Punisher movie without killing. But then I have never much cared for Steve Carell, so... A new team would just be guys in suits in my opinion. I have heard that Bill Murray absolutely REFUSES to do anymore physical roles.

I had some the frat packers in mind like Vince Vaughn, Wilson Bros, and Stiller, but The 40 year old virgin crew could get it done too. I heard the rumor was fake

ALL the original cast with the exception of S.Weaver and R.Moranis came back. The movie is WISHFUL thinking though, especially with these guys...it would be too good.

If you did 2 mins of research, you'd know that Bill Murray hasn't signed up to do a voice for the game, let alone a third movie. He is the reason this film hasn't — and won't — get made.

I liked parts of their movies, but never loved one start to finish, so I'm an itsy bit skeptical of this news. However, any chance to see the four original GBs back in the jumpsuits is a good thing. The original two films didn't mine the territory as fully as a series like Rocky or Indiana Jones, so maybe there's a better chance for this third film to not feel as played out and stale. If you think of some of the bizarre stories the animated Real Ghostbusters stories told, there's lots of directions this could go. Word is that years back, Ackroyd wanted Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and Chris Farley for his Ghostbusters: Hellbent script -- so sometimes waiting years for that greenlight can be a positive move. I feel much better about the 40 Year Old Virgin guys than I would have with late nineties SNL leftovers. And to anyone sneering at the idea of the original four sharing screen time with the new kids, remember this branching out concept was virtually laid out in the original film when Venkman says "The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams." Which gives me hope that we see them all retired and lazy CEO types, who have to pick up their proton packs when the new guys royally screw up on the job and they need Murray and the boys to bail their fat out of the fire, Space Cowboys style.

I'm SO tired of them teasing me with a third installment of my favorite franchise OF ALL TIME. At least they finally got their butts in gear and after over 20 years of waiting (!!!) are releasing The Real Ghostbusters. Now to Aykroyd, Murray, Hudson, Ramis and Studios...STOP SCREWING AROUND AND MAKE THIS MOVIE ALREADY!!!! HOPEFULLY they had better be serious this time and not just talking hypotheticals here.

That sounds like someones fantasy than any fact. Years ago ackroyd wanted to do a third one handing the franchise of to chris farley and a couple of other SNL guys who were hot at the time. This just sounds like a variation on that old idea. “the 40 year old virgin crew” is way to vague for this story to be true.
