Looks like a Ghostbusters 3 may be in the cards after all. Talk of a Ghostbusters 3 movie have been floating around for years, but with BIll Murray coming out and announcing that he refuses to do another one, it seemed that we had seen the last of the Ghostbusters. Well… maybe not.
The good folks over at Filmforce are reporting that Harold Ramis just may be getting the gang back together again… but with Ben Stiller replacing Murray:
Ramis reportedly wants franchise vets Dan Aykroyd and Rick Moranis to reprise their respective roles in the sequel, which the report claims will be called Ghostbusters in Hell, but he has his eye on A-lister Ben Stiller to star as a new Ghostbuster.
The script, written by Aykroyd, is said to feature a hell that looks alot like New York City. The Ghostbusters are able to be transported into hell via a portal in a New York warehouse.
I’m torn on this one. One the one hand I’d LOVE to see the Ghostbusters back on the big screen. I really liked the first two and the nostalgia factor in seeing a Ghostbusters 3 would be amazing. HOWEVER…
On the other hand, when I think of a Ghostbusters 3, I also can’t get the image of Blues Brothers 2000 out of my head. A sad and pathetic attempt to utilize former glory for a quick cash in… that ultimately failed.
So what do you think? Ghostbusters 3: Good idea or bad idea? (Thanks to Pineapplehead for the heads up)
