[Steven]

So, Ghostbusters 3 has been announced by Columbia Pictures...thoughts?

[Andrew]

I think I already posted a thread for this last night.

PS:  I'm sure it doesn't matter.

They'll never be able to recapture the magic of the first movie...NEVER. It's a classic and frankly...I'm not saying it's the "best" movie ever made or anything but it is pretty much perfectly put together. It moves at a great pace, the laughs come at all the right places, it's an amazing build-up to the end. It's just a wonderful flick. I'm dreading a sequel, but if they can even pull it off slightly, anything other than a hack-job...I'm all for it.

[Andrew]

Yeah.  Everyone's been talking about this happening for awhile now.  Does anyone remember how crappy the second one was?

[Steven]

i loved the second one.

[Andrew]

Well I LOVE YOU.

[Steven]

*heart*

You know the thing about the second one is, it's cool seeing everyone back together again, nice seeing the GhostBusters running around doing their thing, and the idea is good....but they just coudln't caputure that magic again. It's a decent sequel, fun, but in no way a hair on the ass of the original.

[Steven]

man, i don't know, i have to really disagree.  i thought it recaptured everything and then some. 

[Andrew]

I really didn't care for it, but I don't have any good reasons to back my opinion up.  I dunno.. goo?  It was icky.

From Aint It Cool News -

A reader writes into Aint it Cool News:

Ghostbusters (1984)"In Boston to promote a new House of Blues, Dan Aykroyd answered some online questions for the Boston Globe - as is typical, the first question asked was about Ghostbusters 3

[Comment From Tom] Dan, I'm extremely excited for the HOB to be back in its birth-city!! I will be attending many shows. On a side note, and I'm sure you get these questions a lot, so I apologize in advance…Ghostbusters 3? I've heard that the writers of the Office are currently penning a script? How is this coming along, and should we look forward to this movie seeing the light of day? Thanks Dan!

Dan Aykroyd: Script is commenced early summer. Hope to be in production by late fall 2009

What's it mean? Well, it doesn't mean a Ghostbusters 3 is a sure thing. It means that if all goes well, the script commissioned last year will hopefully get the green light by around June, and if that happens, then hopefully the movie will go into production in the Fall. So, excellent to hear Dan is still pushing forward with the film, but it's still not a done deal yet."

[Andrew]

I won't give two shits about this unless they can get everyone back.

[Steven]

You would shit your pants if they brought all four back, right?

I wouldn't mind seeing a new cast if they brought in the right people and made the story like a handing down of the positions or something like that.

there is no point in their trying with this one.. the more effort they put into it, no doubt the worse it'll be. so they should just cast young pretty ppl from the WB/CW.. maybe a few from Scary Movie.. throw in alot of pop culture refs etc.
