Ghost Busters 3 Plot has Venkmans Son Taking Over

Remember in Ghost Busters 2 Sigourney Weaver’s character Dana had a baby? Well guess who is set to receieve that torch they have been saying they will pass? Yup. Oscar, the baby of former Gatekeeper hottie Dana Barret is who will be filling the shoes of the first of a next generation of Ghost Busters in Ghost Busters 3.

More shocking is that they will reveal that Oscar is in fact Peter Venkman’s offspring and he will then make his father proud by taking on the family business.

Cinematical says:

We’ve expected this, and Sigourney Weaver hoped for it to be so, but the latest rumors on Ghostbusters 3 confirm (?) Dana Barett’s son will strap on a proton pack as one of the next generation team. But here’s a rather surprising piece of the news: Oscar will be revealed to be Bill Murray/Peter Venkman’s kid after all.

They never really said who Oscar’s father was in Ghost Busters 2, nor do they clarify how long it had been since Venkman and Dana were broken up. Maybe a mad night of passion that they swore to never mention again. Seems odd that Venkman wasn’t at all curious about the timing though.

But it seems the right way to go when passing the torch in the franchise. Tron Legacy is doing it, as did Indiana Jones. Of course we have no idea if any of these franchises will monopolize on this next generation.

  1. Oh Jeeesh, I can see it now: Micheal Cera as Murrays son, Jonah Hill (doing ackroyds bit), the token Black guy…maybee Danny Glovers kid, and the dweeb part played fantastically by Rick Moranis is The voice of How to train your dragons guy (he’s actually pretty good)all to the Sounds of Kanye West or Lil’ Waynes remix of Ray Parkers Tune!

    NO THANKS!

    I’ll take Giantguys pitch better thank-you!

  2. I love the Ghostbusters films (yup both) but after Indiana Jones I’m kinda suspicious about any sort of revisiting of old franchises. Especially ones that deal with the main character having a kid….

    1. I’m with you, I’ve heard rumors of Hollywood remaking Enter the Dragon and I’ve seen scenes from the new Green Hornet movie. To be honest some things are sacred and should be left alone. No one should ever touch certain films – it’s just a violation. Some films simply define an era and an attitude that you just can’t imitate or relive.

  3. A good theory Rodney. Something I was talking about for friend to, about the never stating how long Peter and Dana had been together before the breakup. My guess is that Peter left before Dan I found out she was pregnant, and she never bothered to tell him about it.

  4. My main hope is that Ghostbusters 3 will be an excellnet final bow to the original team, with an intreguing (Ecto-1 key pass) ending.
    Leaving hope for a new set of movies if the film is a hit at the box office.

    Overall I’d rather have a low-grossing farewell to the old gang, than a low-grossing start to a new franchise we won’t get to see!

  5. I just wish they would hurry up and let us know when/if this thing is ever going to get the green light or just be shelved. I’m a rabid Ghostbusters fan and the anticipation has been KILLING me over this past year or two. Good news or bad news…I can take either one, but NO NEWS is unacceptable. (Please let it be good though, lol).
