The Story Behind Ghostbusters 3

Strap on your proton packs - we're going to Hell and back!

BY James White Apr 1st 2009 22:22PMFILED UNDER: Features


Ghostbusters: It’s a towering comedy classic of the ‘80s with a killer pitch: three stumbling scientists set up a spook-catching business and end up saving the world.

Just saying the name is enough to raise a smile from those of us who grew up loving the adventures of Ray, Egon, Peter and Winston.

And it still holds up today, despite a distinctly dodgy (though not charm-fee) sequel and a raft of ‘toon spin-offs and merchandising opportunities.

For years now, we’ve been waiting to find out if the original team – Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson and director Ivan Reitman – would return to deliver more Ecto-goodness.

It’s been a tough track back to the big screen but right now, it truly seems to be coming together again.

So what better time to take a trawl back through the ages and follow Ghostbusters 3’s tough journey from Hellbent to hell yes?

Total agreement - it NEEDS the original cast, it NEEDS a kick*ss script, and I think the Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd team would be fantastic, because they already have fantastic chemistry, and they are good actors. So long as it doesn't turn into a farts 'n' giggles flick.
Keep it funny, keep it good!

They need to do the Hell style Manhattan with that siffler guy. It keeps with the two toned action- adventure/ Horror & comedy genre that the first two did so well.

I think these guys who write the office will just make some gags and one liners, and not a really gripping story like the first 2.

But you never know. It could be amazing

And I'm also down with Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, I love those guys.
Who cares if they are i everything, they are great and they should be in everything, and I know they can pull off the chemistry of the 1st Ghostbuster members.
