:-@ (*rant) (o_O) Man, you know it has to be made give it a chance! (*peter) (*egon)

It's not a simple case of ‘Give it a chance’, it's realism, Sony are not gonna take a chance on a third Ghostbusters movie while they're milking other franchises for what they're worth.

Whatever happens, Dan Aykroyd must NOT direct. He may be a good actor/screenwriter/blues musician, but if anyone saw that one horror movie he made sometime ago, which was his directorial debut, I think you'd agree that Aykroyd directing GB3, would be like putting a silk hat on a pig.

Now don't get mad at me just b/c you disagree, there seem to be a lot of angry people in this forum, and that show's passion, which is good, but direct your energy in a POSITIVE way. Afterall, we all know how Venkman's experiment on studying the effects NEGATIVE reinforcement has on ESP Ability ended up, by PISSING SOMEONE OFF.

I would like to see the original Ghostbusters back for one last adventure. It does not matter that they are old and reaching retirement. Its not about looking good. The point is comedy, and if anything their advancing years will only add to the humour. Its not an action movie.

True. It would also be more realistic.

Matthew
Alot of the time the use of puppetary looks better than CGI. I have always thought that the original Slimer character was much more belivable and the marshmellowman looked completely realistic.

True. I mean, have you seen the special effects on “An American werewolf in London”? Yuck! I mean, they are not ghosts but it's just an example of how crappy sometimes new special effects can be.

Matthew
I also feel that the story for the third installment should be fresh and surprising and must not be linked to the first two films.

If they keep the “Ghostbusters III: Hellbent!” idea then it should be fine.

Matthew
The original sign, jumpsuits, equipment, car and headquarters should remain the same. There is no need to change any of this. The theme music should also remain the same.

Agree. Keep the original sign, jumpsuits, equipment, ecto-1 and headquarters. And who needs a sucky new rap or techno version of “Ghostbusters” when we can still dance to the old song?

Matthew
The ghosts must be scary and look belivable and the locations should be dark and eerie.

Way to go. I wanna laugh but I also want to be scared. :p

My saying it should probably be new actors is only to increase Ghostbusters' appeal to a new generation. The reason the first movie was so popular originally was because Murray and Aykroyd were hot young comedians at the time. Why not bring in some hot young comedians to increase the box office and make the kids show up at the theatres? Most young people today aren't fans of Murray and Aykroyd.

If Ghostbusters III was to be made only to increase the box office by adding “hot” new young comedians to bring the new “generation” of kids to theaters, this is one of the most ridiculous reasons and mostly one of the main reasons why I woudn't want it to be made if it was going to be made that way. What is your suggestion then? That we go to theaters to see Ashton Kutcher or the flavor-of-the-month rapper busting ghosts? Please no. When Evolution was on production and rumors were floating about it being a new Ghostbusters movie, I read about the actors and was like “damn, not that prick from American Pie Seann William Scott!”, but at the end, I am glad that those were just rumors and that it was no Ghostbusters III at all but only Evolution… don't want to see that idiot Seann William Scott on a GB movie at all. :@ !

2) The four original GBs? No, probably not. Past their time. Get some new, young actors.

If you can't get the original 4 guys in the movie, it should not be made.

I agree.

Me too. I wanna see Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis and Hudson busting the ghosts one last time.

I like to see a Ghostbusters 3 with different actor`s not the same peolpe from Ghostbuster one and two

Don't be fooled by the title of this post…I LOVE Ghostbusters and always have…BUT, can you imagine how awful GB3 would be if they made it today? Just look at all the crap that it being produced in hollywood:Star Wars Episode 1-3, The Matrix/Matrix Reloaded, T3(and I LOVE the terminator saga)…if you have taken any notice of the films being made in the past 5-8 years, they all have become heavily CGI-reliant, very fast paced, and how many many films have you seen lately that doesn't star some talentless pretty face from the music industry or wannabe badboy(Vin Diesel, who has played pretty much the same character in EVERY film he makes…“the ex-prisoner who cut a deal with the feds…” you get the point) . Movies from the 80's had INTERESTING ACTORS, who could play the parts well and had CHARACTER, not to mention, talent. How many of them looked good? Hardly any, cause it didnt matter back then…there were good stories, innovative and creative ways to tell the story, and all the effects were created by guys and girls who had to be creative, not by some guy at his computer creating a program to make all the effects for him. Now don't get me wrong, I love computers too, I'm a MAC guy, but I also know when the line should be drawn. So many effects today use CGI to accomplish what could have been easily done right there on the set. How many of you can actually say that Star Wars:Episode 1 and 2 were good films, and that the effects were really amazing? Not many, I bet…the whole film looked like a bad video game..nothing seemed real. Lucas should be banned from the film industry for destroying one of the greatest movie saga's of all time, and I thank god he is not involved in the making of Indiana Jones 4.

Anyway, to get back to my origianl point…I would rather not see GB3 made and have the two original classic films to carry on the name then see a horrible third film ruin it's reputation with pretty-faced bad actors and crappy CGI ghosts and effects.

dude , i read part of this and i cant read anymore.
firts of all just cause you dont like something dosnt mean its not good
and how could episodes 1-3be bad they were writen before a new hope,
even when the movie premerd in like the 70s it said EPISODE 4
your just angry for some reason and have to vent on movies, which you dont make anyway,so when you make millions of dollers makes movies then you post how seqauls are

ok i read the rest of it and its even crazyer
movies in the 80s sucked just as bad as they do now,
ill give you vin desil(saving privet ryan exculded), and the pop singer turned actor bit, but if they made a gb3 it wouldnt be gay,im not that
educated on gb insight but dosnt ackroid and his brother own most of it
they wouldnt let it hit the shitter ,no way.
AND I FOR ONE WOULD START A FUCKING RIOT IF GBIII SUCKED AND I NOW EVERYONE HERE WOULD BE BREACKING SHIT AND SETTING FIRES ALONG SIDE ME!!
take movies for what they are, you dont have to be so crazy about them and hate so much, its entertanment,and what one person dosnt like someone else dose, why ruin it for them by trying to sound so opinionated
and smart :p YOUR ON A GB MESSGE BOARD!!!!

I think that the third movie must be made !! There is no another way !! Now in the film buisness remake and continuation is popular !! There is Terminator III, Star Wars Episode 1, 2, 3, new part of Batman, there are new versions of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Amitville Horror, Arsen Lupin, Saint and also will be make new parts of Indiana Jones and Superman. I can`t understand that is can`t be made new part of Ghost Busters. The last part of movie was make in 1989. Now is the era of Super Computer Effects. I want to see Ghost Busters whith new generation of effects !! It will be super and it will be a movie hit !!

What do you think about my opinion !!
Write your opinions !!

Ghost Busters Rulez and Forever !!

For the most part, you should refrain from reviving dead threads. This would be one of those pretty dead threads.

well i think im yet to chime in on this one myself…
it IS and ISNT a good idea for a 3rd flick. in my opinion a 3rd wouldnt fly. perserve what good we got goin now. wait a decade or 2. they'll make a remake im sure.
im gone.
