GHOSTBUSTERS 3

Yep - they are planning on making GHOSTBUSTERS 3. I guess that 2nd one wasn't bad enough to tarnish the Ghostbusters name. Bill Murray will NOT be reprising his role as he is smart and still has a career. Dan Akroyd and Rick Morranis, on the other hand, are onboard! Harold Ramis (Egon), who is writing/directing the film, said he'd like to get Ben Stiller in there amonst the cast to fill the gaping hole that will be Bill Murray's absense.

"Ghostbusters In Hell" is the brilliantly appropriate title for the film. Egon says, "What works so well about the first two films is the mundane-ness of it all. So my notion was that hell exists in the same place as our consensus reality, but it's like a film shutter. It's the darkness between the 24 frames. So we create a device to do it, and it's in a warehouse in Brooklyn. When we step out of the chamber, it looks just like New York, but it's hell. Everything's grid-locked; no cars are moving and all the drivers are swearing at each other in different foreign languages. No two people speak the same language. It's all the worst things about modern urban life, just magnified."

Maybe they'll also have a "Hell Scene" where you see yourself sitting in the theater watching the movie.

Hell... perhaps they could be watching a live action remake of the Jetsons - or a sequel to Dudley Do-Right...

You live out there, Jim. Has Hollywood seriously lost all sense of goodness? Have they traded taste for tacky? ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MINDS?
