The Story Behind Ghostbusters 3

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


2002 - The (script) reviews are in…

The screenplay lingers on the shelf for a few years until, in true ‘net style, someone finds it. The reaction is not kind. IGN’s script reviewer Stax gets his hands on a copy and reports, “I just can't say that I liked the GB3 yarn that this draft offered.”

The problem? Those new recruits Aykroyd and Ramis hoped would power new movies.

We’re apparently introduced to Franky, a body-pierced, tough New Jersey punker; Lovell, a dread-locked dude; Moira, a pretty but uptight gymnast and science grad; and Carla, a Latino beauty. There’s also Nat, a prepubescent genius whose powerful brain has made his head abnormally large. Despite his youth, Nat serves as a supervisor for the new GBs.

Unfortunately, according to Stax, the young team members have zero chemistry, no conflicts and little personality of their own.

      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.
