No, no mantles! (*rant)

I want MY Ghostbusters, not something for the NEW generation. Ghostbusters is TOO important to me to see it be done with other people. I'm not saying that I don't think it would be good just that I still want the original Ghostbusters. I can't take change! I hate it! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Oh BTW: I'm not really THAT mad.

Dude… Face it. We're never gonna have a CGI GB3, from the way things are going. And do you really want a movie with the three original guys looking like this?

Yes. That or nothing. I would prefer nothing to a new crew, if they are too old and can't make it and the CGI thing isn't going to happen then I say leave the first two movies alone and just drop the whole third movie thing. I see no reason to make a third one with new characters let the two films be.

Ernie is probably the one that's kept himself up the best

Though I´d love to see Steve Carell as a Ghostbusters, I won´t see that possible on any way… and I don´t want to have new illusions… I don´t want to be dissapointed once again.

Time shows no mercy

Indeed it doesn't. Which is why I didn't bother putting a picture of Ernie Hudson as he is in tip top form after all these years, except for his grey hairs.

I don't know if I'd have Steve Carell in the movie as a Ghostbuster, maybe as Peck, but I'd like to see Rogan as Stantz.

personally i would rather them be a whole new team than try to recreate the characters. besides if they were to make it about the original gbs then they would either need to get replacement actors with some form of age to show the difference in time or make it a time piece.

Hmm…

I think I can safely say that both this and the “supposed” GB3 CGI film have as much of a chance at getting made as a live-action adaptation of Filmation's Ghostbusters.

In other words: not a chance at all.

With that said, IDW's version of Peter Venkman does look a lot like Steve Carell, doesn't he?

ok, apologies to those who have read this on GBFans, but I thought Id post it here as well for those that missed it!

Digitial Spy, a well known UK based showbiz website, is also running with the story, at the moment its one of the main headlines for the site. Without building up hopes, Digital Spy dont usually publish a story/rumour unless they believe it to be fairly accurate. However they are holding their cards to their chests by also stating that it is a rumour at this stage.

Im actually up for the idea of handing down to a newer group. I totally agree that this could carry the franchise to a younger generation of potential fans - again, as long as it doesnt get watered down. However, I do think that the title should be not Ghostbusters 3, but should rather have a subtitle (eg Ghostbusters: Hellbent etc), that way we dont get a Jaws esque Ghostbusters 4, 5, 6, etc which would be very dodgy!! - ok, kinda running away with myself there.
Then…
On my way to work this morning, another GB 3 announcement. This time from National UK radio station Heart FM. On the breakfast show (with Jamie Theakston for all UK peeps), the announcement was again reiterated, “confirming” that the original cast had signed up together with these new guys from 40yr Old Virgin. However, they went one step further to announce a possible release of “as early as Christmas 2009” in UK cinemas. Which is interesting as I hadnt heard of a tentative release date up until then.

Knowing the popularity of Heart FM, I couldnt help but get excited at the time (they even played the Ray Parker Jnr song whilst announcing lol) But hey, this could still just be the effect of chinese whispers! So until Sony announce anything, Im keeping calm!

I know Jamie Theakston is my ‘go to’ guy for confirming mega-budget hollywood rumours.
