Ghostbusters 3 Starts Shooting in Summer
via Aww Crap, GHOSTBUSTERS 3 Shoots Next Summer | Badass Digest.
Terrible news: Ghostbusters 3 shoots next summer. This information was buried deep inside a Deadline article about Ivan Reitman’s next film, Draft Day, which may have to be delayed if it bumps up against the scheduled shooting dates for the dreaded sequel.
Or is it a remake? Rumors recently held that Ghostbusters 3 would just redo the whole thing, an option certain to piss people off – but one that would make me happy, as it doesn’t dilute the original brand. I’m weird like that; a remake is ignorable, but a sequel demands consideration. As much as I’d like to pretend there are only two (three, if I’m feeling charitable) Indiana Jones movies, I cannot ignore the basic existence of Crystal Skull.

Trying to get a good idea into an office in Hollywood is like… Well, it’s like nothing else on Earth. It would be easier to get a meeting with President Obama while wearing a pillow case on your head.
Getting access in Tinseltown is 99% of the fight. That’s why this sort of garbage pisses me off so much. How many excellent ideas were stopped at the door while they were planning this despicable escapade?
Crystal Skull was a fairly good movie. It was only marginally less good than TOD without the great opening 15 minutes. It was as good as Ghostbusters 2. The real fear I have is that it will be more on the level of Blues Brothers 2000. Eccch.
If they do a sequel and try and throw old guys at us and kinda waltz around it, that it won’t work. Instead, if these men are true to their comedy roots, they should embrace it, ala The Sunshine Boys.
They should be bitter, disillusioned and cantankerous. Maybe only Ernie Hudson being an optimistic sort who can still talk to the other 3. Sigourney Weaver could be a hoarder who’s been married 7 times, 3 to Bill Murray, who hates them for wrecking her life.
The only one they’ll talk to is Hudson; something happens to him which draws them together, completely reluctantly.
I never understood people’s fascination with the original Ghost Busters. IMO, it was mildly entertaining – but not enough to make me want to watch it multiple times or buy a copy for home viewing…and I’m never tempted to stop flipping channels when I see it on TV.
Ghostbusters 3? They didn’t learn their lesson from the train wreck of GB II?
Come on. Next you are going to tell me they are making another Anchorman movie, or another Star Trek – oh…
