Ah, the newest Ghostbuster recruit makes his first official post.:-O
One of my reasons for tracking down this message board and starting to post here is because, 1) I'm damn excited for the new video game and 2) I'm damn excited at the possibility of there being a new film.
Granted, there has been talk for many years on and off about GIII being made, which everyone already knows. But it seems to me that a lot more news has come up recently, and if the rumor mill is true, that reuniting for the game got the old gang all excited to reunite once more for another movie, then I say, “it's about damn time!”
I have a much better feeling about the recent rumors for whatever reason. Maybe the Gozer world is forcing its way into ours or I'm just being influenced by Vego the Carpathian. But whatever the reason, I'm remaining highly optimistic about there finally being a GIII.
I'm sure this has been posted before, but here is an interview with Bill Murray, where he comments about a possible third film at the end of the clip, clearly acknowledging that the writer's of “The Office” are working on a script, which simply means, he's in the loop. And thank goodness, because a lot of the rumors listed him as ‘out’ should there be a GIII. But what would a Ghostbusters film be without Bill Murray?(*peter) While it's no news that a script has been in the works, I'm just glad to see Bill sounding semi interested in the idea of coming back for another one.
EDIT: I moved the youtube link to the appropriate thread.
It's interesting to think that John Belushi was originally going to be cast as our beloved Dr. Venkman, but do to his untimely death, we ended up with Bill, which worked out just fine!
With whatever happens, I cannot wait for the video game and do believe it will be a highly entertaining and fun addition to the Ghostbusters mythos.
