Ghostbusters 3 is a GO

[darth los]

Bwahahaha! Well, you could always write for the porno version of the film, Clang Don't laugh, there's a big market for coming up with spoofs for porn out there. That was pretty good clang !!

If that were true, Ghostbusters 3 has been in production for ohhhhh....let's say 15 years or more. That's a long time for pre-production. Damn it, you beat me to it. I can recall, back in 1997, hearing/reading stuff about how they were trying to get a 3rd GB going and Murray just wasn't having it.

This rumor spread so widely yesterday that I saw a clip on the friggin news about it..... Here's what a rep for Sony told EW: "We couldn't be more excited about the way the new Ghostbusters film is coming together, but at this point we are focused on a great screenplay," the spokesperson tells EW. "I can't comment on specific casting choices because we don't have a finished script. We love Dan's enthusiasm and his support, and while we are making progress, we are still just in development on this project." In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Aykroyd essentially confirmed what EW reported from the ShoWest convention in April -- that the franchise film is expected to feature a "new generation" of ghostbusters. The Office scribes Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg are writing the screenplay. So it's the same thing I was talking about. Aykroyd get's all enthusiastic during an interview because he loves GB, the article is spread around and twisted into something like "Gostbustaz 3 next yeer!!!!!111OMG", and then Sony stands up and politely says, "Shut up Dan!". We'll see this exact same scenario play out again in less than a month's time. I would put money on it.

All female ghostbusters? I think I'll pass... Would you still pass if they looked like this?

[capncnut]

Would you still pass if they looked like this? The one on the left looks like a plastic horse but has a nice pair of thrupenny bits. As for the other chick, yeah, I'd 'Buster' real good.

That's a big Twinky...

Man I see this picture everywhere. They were at a convention promoting the game. Over on the GB boards we call these the slut costumes. They're horribly made and the blow up proton pack looks like shit. And it's upside down. Don't get me wrong, they're nice to look at. Especially the brunette....not too fond of the blonde. To get this back on topic....I was right when I said that Aykroyd would do this again within the month. Here's his latest nerd-gasm for Ghostbusters. Aykroyd loves his Ghostbusters. Unfortunately he loves to talk out of his ass as well...

Man I see this picture everywhere. They were at a convention promoting the game. Ah booth girls...pretty common at sci-fi & RPG conventions...they make me feel such a strange mix of lust & revulsion as in: "Yes, you're hot, however if you weren't getting paid to dress up like this you wouldn't be caught dead within 100 feet of this place, and besides that, the company/product you're representing knows this place is packed with horny geeks & they're banking on the combo of your hotness+the skimpy costume being too much to resist, which kinda insults me & pisses me off in some weird way...."

Sex sells, plain and simple.

Taken with a pinch of the proverbial but yeah, fingaz crossed.

While at the Sitges Film festival, Reitman had a few things to say about a potential GB3.... for the first time, possibilities are more positive than negative. Before we needed some twist to be able to make it, now if there isn’t any other major change we will do it. “The second movie was some kind of exploitation of the first but was too heavily based on special effects, in that way losing grip on what were the driving forces of the first: characters and jokes. This is something I still regret and now I’d like to pay tribute to those wonderful characters with this new one”. Great fucking news. I enjoy the second film for what it is, but this is right on the money. He says some other stuff as well. Sigourney Weaver is in(Rick Moranis?!?), the game helped get the interest boiling, etc. LINK Also a small meeting of Zombieland director and Reitman.
