'Ghostbusters 3' to shoot this year?

Dan Aykroyd has revealed that Ghostbusters 3 may begin shooting this autumn.
The 56-year-old, who co-wrote and starred in the '80s comedies, revealed in an online chat to The Boston Globe that Office writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg had started working on a script for the sequel.
Aykroyd said: "Script commenced early summer. Hope to be in production by late fall 2009."
It has been rumoured that original cast members Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Aykroyd will reprise their roles in the sequel and hand over the ghostbusting reigns to a younger team.
The first Ghostbusters, released in 1984, grossed $292 million at the worldwide box office and was followed by a sequel in 1989.

This would be awesome IMO I would love another Ghostbusters movie

Ive enjoyed both movies and a third im hoping will be great. Im also looking forward to the game but ive not heard much about it.

I didn't think II "sucked," it just didn't live up to the original. I give it points mainly for at least having the spirit of the original. As for this one, I'll reserve judgment.

...uh the post is up there...

One of the big net rumors, was to have the four guys from "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" be the new Ghostbusters, with the older team passing the torch to them. If written properly, that would be amazing!

That indeed does sound like a nice idea but it would be a shame that the original four wouldnt be the main stars.

I hope they don't take the Extreme Ghostbusters route and pair them with an overly politically correct team of youngsters.

Im looking forward to the effects, all the ghosties and goulies looking awesome in CGI.

Ya know, that's actually one of the things I may not care for. I'm weird I guess, but there's something about the pre-cgi revolution era that intrigues me. I really like that all of the ghost effects in both films seemed at leat some what tangible, as if you knew that several effects workers put the hours in to get it on screen. I don't care much for the ultra-reality created in most films with cgi, it seems remote and too sterile. Although The Frighteners, I think, enhanced upon the effects in the Ghostbusters movies.

I know what your say and agree

I love all aspects in film making, the direction, the camera angles and ofcourse the SFX. There is nothing I like more is to watch in awe of effects in film. Funnily enough I had this discusion Sunday while we were watching The Living Daylights, at the end of the film where Bond is flying the plane and drops the bomb on the two tanks on the bridge. You could see the amount of work that went into the explosions and the bridge colapsing.

Couldn't agree more. Even though the second one wasn't as good as the first, you can't just bring the group back and everything be the same as it was back then. I remember reading something, don't ask me to quote from where cause I don't remember, that stated Apatow was somehow involved in the writing of the new film. I could be totally wrong and just misinterpreted the same thing you posted UJ.

As for the video game...here's a quote taken directly from IGN:

Game has a release date of June 16th.

I'm not big on all the remakes that have been coming out. Not only do they take away from the inegrity of the old movies but it also screw up my box sets, hehe.

If they do get around to making a new one I would much rather see a new team of Ghost Buster. Just like with Indy, Rambo, and McClane I have a problem with seeing 'old men' not only do what they did 20 years ago but do it better than ever. It just doesn't sit right with me.

When you say the four guys from Virgin do you mean Carell, Rudd, Malco and Rogan?

I'm not sure how I would feel about that. I have yet to not like a movie they are in, and with 'their writers' behind them it just might be a great movie.

Im really looking forward to the release of the game but I dont know to go for the 360 for graphics of Wii for the Wii controls?

I liked my Wii for the interactive party games, but when it came to story-driven games that relied on certain motions, it became very annoying. I would say go with the 360.

Everything I read has said the game is Ghostbusters 3, and it's written by the original people and has the original cast etc.

Im looking forward to play the game I think it will be awesome and im looking more towards getting it on the 360 due to the graphics.

Thinking of simply renting both. Best of both worlds, then.

Indeed Pedz good idea then you can see which is the best to get

Renting is great in some ways. As an example, I rented Shrooms, you wasted money on buying it

LMAO it was another cheap DVD I thought I would give a go even though I said I wouldnt, but on the good side I have the knowledge of knowing that there is another bad movie I wont have to watch again but it makes my collection look bigger
