As much as I'd like to see a Ghostbusters 3 I just can't help but feel that the time for a sequel has long passed.
Why don't they just do a television reunion special. I mean that's all Indy 4 ended up being.

Damn straight. Vaughn is shithouse poor. You guys get confused thinking he is great, when the reality is he is surrounded by actual talented actors who do his job for him.

I agree that's an awful, awful idea.
If they've got the original cast, I'll watch it, buy it, worship it. Give it a great plot, something involving something historically spooky. Maybe something about someone unearthing the mass graves of one of the terrible New York Cholera epidemics--something with Mary Cecilia Roger, or something. Give it a twisting plot involving unsolved historical mysteries and link them to some creepy, creepy entity. One of the things I loved about the originals was that the ghosts were genuinely scary.

I remember readin about the original 4 having like some..problem between them, which caused them to stop talking to each other...who knows...
Maybe they could put the original cast..like.."passing the torch" to a new group of younger characters..
Having the entire movie based around the original crew still in the business but like realizing they are too old for all that, and then setting up a new group to continue doing the job..
Making it mostly based on the originals, while may please some of the original fans..many younger people don't know who's Dan Akroyd, except that he was Adam Sandler's boss in Chuck and Larry.. ..if anything.

..if anything.Who cares? Those younger people never watched the originals then and this movie isn't for them.fernoca said:Making it mostly based on the originals, while may please some of the original fans..many younger people don't know who's Dan Akroyd, except that he was Adam Sandler's boss in Chuck and Larry..
They (the studio, producers) care.Dolphin said:
They would love to make money...please some of the fans (and dissapointing a lot,..as always), while giving it a reboot to a new gen..
Like the recent Indiana Jones flick..pretty much like the originals, but with a well known/young actor playing his "sidekick"; to "OMG it's Shia" people interested on it.
Good for them. As a fan of the original movies, I don't care. Do you? Ghostbusters was never particularly profound for its plot--the charm was in the characters. I don't care about the Ghostbusters as super heroes, I care about the characters that the original actors created. A little more of that is what's interesting to me, and it can only be invoked with the original cast. That's what it sounds like we're getting, do you have a problem with that?fernoca said:They (the studio, producers) care.

Geeze..you're taking everything I've been saying out of proportion..Dolphin said:
They have been trying to get this project up, for years..but problem between the actors (and other stuff) have prevented it..
One time, they were nealry ready..but money was a problem, they didn't knew if the (possible) high production costs would be at least obtained back..then there was talk of the CG movie, and then there was also the game. which now was delayed to 2009..
All I've been saying is that .it wouldn't surprise me if they make a few changes to it, in order to "sell it more"..because in the end, "true fans" would find any small thing to complain and hate the movie; so it's a little obvious they'll try to expand it to as much people as they can..
I'd love if it was just like the originals ..with the originals..but remember that it's the same Sony/Columbia that basically forced Raimi to shoehorn Venom in Spider-Man 3 just to sell it more.

Scarecrow said:
In a sane world, yes. The first truly awful sequel to a great original movie I ever saw. I remember being so excited about another Ghostbusters and then that piece of shit trundled across the screen. Ugh.
I can't imagine a Ghostbusters 3 would be a good idea at this point. Surely Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull taught us something. Bill Murray will probably never agree to terms, anyway.

By original team I primarily meant the writer/director of the first two, which the article talks about. I actually really like some of the suggestions in this thread such as Downey Jr and Charlie Murphy. I think they should capitalise on the fact that they're all old and fat, have them be a disaster in the beginning and then realise they're not up to scratch and have to search/train new people to help-which could set up sequels with the new team. My bad for not making myself clear.

I always considered Evolution to be like a third Ghostbusters movie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251075/
It had nearly all the same elements and beats in it.

There's no way Bill Murray is going to reprise his role unless he's killed of in the beginning of the film. I recall reading about it years ago when Hellbent was being written. Could that hinder the film? Who knows. I'd also love the original cast to come back, but I can see them training new GBs.
So have they abandoned the rumored "Hell on Earth" plot? I thought that idea had some potential. Also, the fact that they are older and fatter is perfect for a Ghostbusters movie. For one, as said before, the humor came from the characters, not the concept, so replacing them would suck. But also, their respective age and size fits well because the whole joke about Ghostbusters was that they DID suck at being Ghostbusters. They were constantly outmatched and being outwitted, and only through luck and happenstance did they win their battles.
I would argue that being outmatched and having an ego that surpasses ability was one of the highlights of Indiana Jones' character as well...until the fourth movie when he had no emotion whatsoever and did whatever the bad guys wanted and deduced things the audience had figured out nearly twenty minutes earlier and that knowledge was there gift, although they used it to kill the people that sought it in the movie and Tarzan, and ants building a stepladder of themselves??? I need to lie down now.
