Not A Script Yet, Just The Premise Of My GB3

Everyone has views on what this movie should be like, and I have one too. I hope to adapt this into a fan script, but I'm not sure how to write one yet.

So my basic plot is the main villain is too evil for heaven or purgatory, and so evil that the Devil himself is scared that the villain will take over Hell.

So the villain gets banished from Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. The only place he can go is Earth.

And of course the guy chooses to live in NYC.

now the guy winds up creating a a “secret lair” for lack of a better term and begins recruiting minions by turning people into Zombies. He does this in hope to take over the world. (C'mon ya had to see that coming. All Villains have this complex that makes them want to rule the world)

So the GBs start noticing a trend with all of the Zombies and it eventually leads them to the “secret lair”

On the first fight Winston gets turned into a Zombie.

So the remain 3 GBs retreat and try to think of a plan.

Since the Villain can't die because all places of after life living reject him that hafta make a containment chamber for him.

The create the containment chamber and in the final battle Winston has orders to kill the Ghostbusters. After fighting he is able to resist the tempation to kill the GBs and the villain gets captured. Once he is captured all the zombies are turned normal again.

That's basically the plot idea I had. Any thoughts?

Well since I got 2 postive responses, and that's more than enough to inflate my ego I'll attempt to make a script.

I have no clue how, but that's never stopped me before.

My fan script was my first screenplay. When you're starting out, it's easier to write about characters that already exist, so characterisation isn't too difficult and you can concentrate more fully on other things like plot.

It's supposed to help if you plan each scene and write a little summary to work from. Personally I didn't do this, because I absolutely hate working from a plan and it never helps me anyway, but it may help you, I don't know.

I just use a pad of paper to scribble on. Write down a basic plot outline, scribble ideas as they come to me, lines of dialogue I think sound good, that kind of thing, and tick them off when I get them down in the body of the story.

Maybe some of that will be of some use to you. Good luck.

I can write in comic script format, so I might make my GB3 script a comic book.

Hell maybe I'll even be able to get it produced if I do that it way.

I plan on starting it once I finish my proton pack prop and flightsuit.

Interesting premise…although the too evil for hell thing has been tossed around before. I have a couple of comments…Don't make Winston a zombie..the poor guy barely gets any lines as it is!

Also…why couldn't they just put him in the CU? I mean, I understand he'd be powerful…they'd have to make a new one. But it's not like the GBs ever “kill” the ghosts and send them to hell, anyhow..

I'm using movie continuity only for this which means they only put ghosts in the CU.

The villain isn't a ghost, so he can't get trapped in the trap and then out in the CU.

Sure that was never officially stated in GBI or GBII but I just think that is how it should be.

So they have to build different equipment to trap the baddie.

And I made Winston the Zombie because of his small role. By him resisting the bad-dude it is going to show his will power, his courage and his loyalty to the GBs.

So far we've seen him bust 2 ghosts in 2 movies.

In my script he won't be leaving the guys alone in the court scene and he'll be the pivotal point in the battle.
