the whole concept of gb3 is like any sequal idea, and that is that it will usually not work good. we've all seen sequals of movies, and we've all noted that the sequals usually suck. gb2 was on of the exceptions (so was the empire strkes back and attack of the clones, if you're into that kinda thing). anyway, plot idea. my friend subway_ghost has a good concept going for it. at this point, you'd most likely need new ghostbusters due to plenty of reasons. i hope everyone has talked about and agrees that they need to cast unknowns for the parts. but you can't really reuse and rescrap old ideas, like using gozer and vigo in the third. but you'd probably need gozer coming back to open the gates for a new evil spirit, although the devil isn't really a good idea due to the fact that all those christian people would be meanies about it. ghostbusters has slightly been biblical, and if you read the bible, you realize that cain, the first murderer, is going to take over hell in the end, right? well, this could take place after the uprising of cain. the spawn of gozer, which would reside in oscar, would come out and release havoc on the world, much as said above, as a way to signify that hell has a new ruler, and opens the gateways for cain to come back (ugh, now it reminds me of robocop2, a really bad sequal). i'm not providing this information as a plot, merely an add on plot to the other two above. they just can't do anything stupid though, like bring back stay puft, and slimer should be meaner like in the original. louis should also be a ghostbuster, you know, because of his high ambition in gb2. it wouldn't make it dumb, i don't think. also, the plot shouldn't start out like gb2, where they were sued like a son of a felt tip pen. unemployment perhaps? after all, you remove all spirits, you remove any job. i'd say the havoc should be released all over the world, but that'd get too confusing.

also, dude up above who's name i forgot, how come you can't remember any names of anybody from the movie?

taxi ghost was the ghost who was a taxi driver in the first movie.

i'm new, by the way

It's pretty simple, the new GB's have to be actors people haven't seen before. That way they will get a fresh start and people won`t compare them with other characters. (example will smith: “hey its the fresh prince or J or something”)
If they make a GB3 it needs to be made by the same people who made the first two movies otherwise it will lose its original feel (example batman: after the first two movies, they got a new director and it lost its dark gothic feel). If I have to wait, I will wait for GB3, so it can be done right. I don't wanna walk out of the movie theatre after seeing it and say “Man, that movie wasn't all that great….”
Patience may be good for us.

“Ghostbusters Three”

As All-Hallows-Eve rounds a mystery Pumpkin Patch grows in the middle of central park in the city that never sleeps. Timothy Banks (David Duchobney) Dr. Spengler's (Harold Ramis) new pupil discovers that an ancient evil that has boiled under the earth for centuries has awaken, and has plans to make the world his dark land. Now the GHOSTBUSTERS have to hire some new souls to sack the ghosts that terrorize new York, and save the world!

**sorry about misspellings.

My plot would possibly be almost the same in repects as my GB: Legacy series.

The actors you suggest would draw attention away from the story because about a billion teen girls would “ooh” and “ahh” over the actors.

same original actors, maybe a few lesser but still well known (if that made sense) to bring some attention to a new audience

im thinking that the ghostbusters would still be in business in this one, and everyone but ray wants to add a few new members to the group. louis also try's to keep it at the orginal 5 as he refers to it, he thinks he can carry the weight of the team on his shoulders. all of them but egon are pushing for newer, more powerful equipment. jack black, (may be getting to far up the pop ladder) would play a crazy ghostbusting fan who wants to be one and follows them to every bust, trying to show them what he can do. with todays effects i figure slimer could be a bigger part of the movie, maybe not though. when their first bust of the movie takes place, the affects of aging take their toll. all of the busters are moving slow and it takes forever to catch a class one. peter takes the trap and is walking to show all the bystanders, when a glich occurs in the trap doors. they open up, and peter gets sucked in, crossing over the the underworld. with peter gone, ray gives in to the demands for new members, and adds three to them

steve zahn(saving silverman, joyride)
jason shwartzmen (rushmore(with bill murray), slackers)
wayne brady (whose line is it anyway?, played winston in the live universal shows)

egon gives in to making new equipment as well, and makes something like in rgb, but with differences. throughout the movie, peter comes back and warns the guys of hades planning an end to the world, but the guys can't tell its him for some reason

for a subplot i figured the guys would have some competition, a younger, better equiped group that adds fuel to the tension between the guys

needs work, i know, maybe someone could help get the kinks out of it

“what about the twinkie?”

You cannot put in will smith and all that, dont get me wrong I think he's funny and great, but he's not the original! And you're right. teen-movie or what, that would really suck.

But if they need plots they should ask gb.net!

I don't think you people get it that a bunch of old guys in jumpsuits WILL NOT WORK. The cast I have put together will work almost flawlessly and if done right WILL give the original feel of Ghostbusters. It would not become a teeny movie, MIB sure didnt become one. brendan Fraiser is not a big star, he has doen what? Mummy, and uhh, mummy two, oh and wow..nothign else really big, unless you consider Bedazzled big. I don't see what you guys have against Will Smith he would be a PERFECT ghostbuster. Dan, Bill, Harold were not no name people when GB came out. It woudl work all the same. Face the facts, this is what the real public would want and since i have gone through doing scenes in ym head, it works. If onyl you guys would relize this. gawd.

Okay so I'm just skeptical that anything could be as good as the original, its like holding on to my old teddy bear because.. Well I don't want the new one to ruin the memory of the old one. I want a sequel but I want it to be perfect! (is that too much to ask )

The Ghostbusters have gone their separate ways, only Egon is living in the firehouse now. He can't afford to pay the electric bill, so the power company shuts off the power. This causes the containment unit to blow up (again). The Ghostbusters must reorganize and rebuild all their equipment. They can't find Peter, so they find a replacement played by David Duchovny.
