YEAH!!! LOVE Ghostbusters!!! Wonder if they will have any Office members join the film. I’m sure Rainn would fit in nicely.

To Nate, 26: Truth.

This could either be really fun or kind of lame. Here’s hoping to really fun. Ghostbusters is great.

This could be good. Too bad Rick Moranis quit showbiz.

I thought that the Ghostbusters game was supposed to be the only continuation of the story…

If you don’t know anything about the game, look here: Link

I guess the script that has been written for the game was actually meant for another movie, but I think they just never had the time to make it. Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis are writing the game’s script (they wrote the original movie scripts).

I wore my Ghostbusters t-shirt yesterday. Coincidence?

Ghostbusters 2 came out in 1989. Not that great of a sequel.

I loved the original Ghostbusters, of course I was only 10 or so when it came out. However, I do adore Murray & Ramis AND Lee & Gene, so it will be interesting to see what happens…if it does happen.

GBII was released in 1989. It’s not very good.

As a girl who played Ghostbusters with the boys at recess in kindergarden, I think it sounds pretty cool!

More sequels? Really? Come on now.

[from tanster: i didn't even know there was already a GB II! when did that happen?]

To those saying it won’t happen, I do disagree.

This could very well happen since a month or two ago information was leaked that Steve Carell and Seth Rogen were tapped to play a new generation of Ghostbusters and that the original cast will pass the proton packs to a new generation.

I don’t like that idea because I think it is too cheesy, but I have faith that Gene and Lee will do a great job. And troy is right regarding the videogame as well.

What all of you don’t realize, not being video game nerds, is that a Ghostbusters video game with a serious script written by Akroyd and Ramis is completed and will be available by March of next year. This is particularly notable because all of the original cast got together to record extensive voice work, and they realized they enjoyed working on the franchise and had a very smooth time. I was surprised when I saw this, but I am also optimistic and also fairly sure that getting together to do the voice work to the game brought out their desire to do this movie.

They would need the orignal cast- and Harold Ramis would need to shed some pounds. Actually all of them would.

This will not happen. GBIII has languished in development for years. Aykroyd had a script. It went nowhere.

Bill Murray and Harold Ramis had a falling out years ago. Another reason this won’t happen.

Plus, GBII wasn’t that good, imho.

As a member of gbfans.com and a dedicated Ghostbusters fan, this will never happen. It’s been discussed since the late 90’s and us die hard GB fans know it won’t be made. If it is, awesome, but don’t get your hopes up.

Oh man that’s so exciting for them! (And for us!) I hope this deal goes down. Their writing will be perfect for a Ghostbusters sequel.
