I personally don't think there shouldn't be a love story (though I wouldn't shed a tear if it was completely missing from the plot). I just think with after 2 movies where that was more or less the central focus that it should be lessened to the point where it isn't intergral to the plot.

I also think paul rudd would be a decent choice for a new ghostbuster in the movie, and actually right now watching my super ex-girlfriend (another reitman movie i believe) i think rainn wilson could be a decent choice too. he's something who can sort of make everything a little funnier, and unlike this apatow crew he doesn't need to offend anyone to do so.

Yeah Rudd and Wilson are two of my top choices too. I'd also be down for Bill Hader and Will Arnett. That'd be my ideal “new recruit” team.

Hey guys, I was just searchin around you tube and found this interview with Bill Murray that was done in October of 2008. Not sure if it was posted but it is an interview with a morning news crew. At around the 2:10 mark GB3 is talked about.

Well, many of you will be pleased to know that this whole fiasco has turned out to be a load of crap:

“It's not true,” says Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures. “We have some great new writers working on a new script, but Judd isn't involved. Judging from the frenzy on the Internet, there still seems to be plenty of interest in the idea of doing another film, so we're certainly taking that as a good sign.”

Yes but it's actually exactly the same really, isn't it? You're honestly telling me Paul Rudd isn't from the same ‘react with incredulity’ school as Bill Murray, to name but one example?

Well, no, its actually not the same, because Bill Murray is actually funny.

Impossible! That “School” hasen't existed since Bill and Dan left SNL, so Paul Rudd couldn't have come from it! “Comedic” actors today, don't have half the talent (with the exeption of maybe 2) of the “old-school” SCTV and SNL trained guys, and I'm sorry to say this, but they will never find anyone who will share the same chemistry (on-screen and off)/ability to feed off one another comedically, as the original GBs (Dan, Harold, and Bill…oh! And Ernie too), but hopefully they will get close!(*peter)

Not to mention the on-screen comedic and casual charisma of all the actors (GB/SNL/SC cast). Whereas Paul Rudd is just kind of there saying his lines.

Its the comments like these that bother me so much. These are clearly just biased, closed minded views of any new actors potentially joining the cast.

Actors today are funny. Comedy has evolved and is different, but they're still funny. There's still many different types of comedy, and many different schools of talent to come from.

And saying that no one will ever share the same chemistry as the guys is just silly. People develop chemistry, some have it naturally, others work at it. It wouldn't be exactly the same, because no one's chemistry is ever exactly the same, but that's a good thing. No one wants cookie cutter younger versions of the guys. Having someone who could play a Venkman-type, Stantz-type, Spengler-type, and Zeddemore-type would be freakin boring as hell. Give us new characters, with new personalities, and new chemistry so that we can see a new movie, not a cookie cutter rehash.

its not that its biased, we all have our different tastes, and we understand comedy has evolved, BUT, take in mind were talking about GB, and that GB has created its own brand of humor, so the next film will surely have it and maybe even improve upon it, so that still makes it a complete 180 of what the new generation of actors are capable of, Face it, these actors really dont work with having funny characters that work well with each other, each movie they've been in, has all the characters just being a bunch of goofs, and not really sharing or developing any chemistry, sure they all had different personalities but there was no flavor.

as i said before, none of those actors have that spark of charisma either, they pretty much play themselves, remember lines and expect it to be funny, instead of making it their own to make the film and characters more enjoyable. So how can they even be up to taking on more developed characters in a witty comedy like Ghostbusters?
