You know, I thought this board was about posting our thoughts, but now I am labeled a “whiney bitch”. Mellie, piss off. Your “generalization” frankly is a slap in the face and an insult, could be a pesonal attack. I have seen many banned on forums for that. I grew up on Ghostbusters, I remember when Back to The Future came out. No, I am not a newer ghostbusters fan I was there when it happened, and I assume MANY are like me. I am excited on this announcement BUT (yes I say that alot) CGI is a BIG GAMBLE ok?! CGI has been done in SO many ways, that if this isn't done right, then GB3 will be lame sequel just to shut us fans up. Do you want that? No you don't. Also Bill Murray pisses me off so much. He forgets the fans and won't touch GB with a ten foot pole, but NOW he will? WHY? Cause he can just voice the character and not do much WORK? I think that is the main reason. Everybody can post, quote me and what not (I will not tolerate harassment so don't go there) but Bill Murray has held GB3 back far to long and now he gets off his ass to do this? Something isn't right here. I am wondering if Dan just backed down to CGI cause Bill has done Garfield. Bribing Bill to do this and while deminishing Dan's vision of GB3 (if that is the case here) is the reason many of us are not jumping up and down on this. So maybe this explains a few things and I hope many keep their opinions and name calling to themselves. I don't want a flame war but I will NOT tolerate being called names because my opinion didn't suit somebody.

Anyone getting the feeling Dan was just saying that? That Bill really hasn't agreed to do it? That Dan told the media this because he knew it would get a huge response and that Sony and Murray would possibly agree to it after seeing the fan reaction?

Why would Dan outright lie about something? Especially this big?…

I just had a thought. Do you think Ivan Reitman had prior knowledge from Dan Aykroyd that Aykroyds intention was to have Ghostbusters III as a CGI movie? Here's an interview from about five months ago on Empire.

Looking forward, word is slowly building about Ghostbusters in Hell. Have you heard anything new about that?
Ghostbusters In Hell well the script that Dan Aykroyd has written, and we have been in discussion with Sony Columbia about it whether it’s going to be that script. But there seems to be renewed interest in doing another Ghostbusters in some new fresh way, put it that way. We’ll see where it goes.

Personally I think Dan and Ivan had a little talk about it some while ago.

So then he could go to Bill and say “I've already told the fans you'd do it, you can't turn them down now”.

Mellie
a lot of his latest movies don't seem to be very physical

To which Bill would reply “watch me.”
