Some of us might have thought that the release of the GHOSTBUSTERS remake a couple years ago would bring an end to the constant rumors of a GHOSTBUSTERS 3, but that is not the case, as Dan Aykroyd just revived those rumors last night during an appearance on the AXS TV show The Big Interview with Dan Rather.

While speaking with Rather, Aykroyd said that

There is a possibility of a reunion with the three remaining Ghostbusters... It's being written right now."

Of course, we would have gotten a GHOSTBUSTERS 3 a long time ago if Aykroyd's co-star Bill Murray wasn't so reluctant to return for another sequel. Aykroyd apparently thinks Murray has been worn down enough, and the script is good enough, that he will agree to appear in the film now. He told Rather,

I think Billy will come back. The story’s so good. Even if he plays a ghost."

This sounds very much like the same things Aykroyd has been saying about a GHOSTBUSTERS 3 for a couple decades now. What's very clear is that he is not a man who will ever let hope die.

We are in an era where sequels and remakes can be ignored while franchises continue to move forward, we just saw that happen with the latest HALLOWEEN sequel being a direct follow-up to the first HALLOWEEN, so sure, there is a chance that the GHOSTBUSTERS series could go on by catching up with the original team and not acknowledging the existence of the 2016 film. I just find it hard to believe that a GHOSTBUSTERS 3 will ever get made.

If it's going to happen, next year would be a good time for it to get rolling, as it marks the 35th anniversary of the first GHOSTBUSTERS and the 30th anniversary of GHOSTBUSTERS II.

Aykroyd, Murray, and Ernie Hudson are still around to be reunited. Sadly, fourth Ghostbuster Harold Ramis passed away in 2014.

Too little, too late Dan

Maybe they'll let them do it because the all-female Ghostbusters was a flop. Then again, with one member dead it reminds me of that time Dan also made a movie with a key star missing...when he made Blues Brothers 2000 years after John Belushi OD'd and died. It sucked.

Then again wasn't the Ghostbusters game on consoles (that's now out of print) also considered Ghostbusters 3?

My only reaction to this "Yes, Fembusters is dead at least!"

But so is Ramis. How can they pull this off? Are they gonna pull a Halloween 2018 and add a new old guy that turns on them?

It's actually a stealth sequel to Nothing But Trouble.

Harold Ramis can be resurrected with CG or just solid writing; comedy can never return from the hands of Paul Feig.

Just resurrect him and make his ghost turn evil if you wanted to go the easy way out route.

>Dumb faggots think Dan Aykroyd has any sort of integrity or artistic vision.

CG Egon is hanging out with the crew in ghost form to give moral support and advice but then it turns out its Assholial The Demon taking Egon's form.

Would Rick Moranis come out of de facto retirement for this? He was asked to do a cameo in Fembusters and declined.

Alternately, would Ackroyd want him and Sigourney Weaver in it?

I feel like most fans have treated the video game as Ghostbusters 3 for years now.

The thing Ackroyd would like most of all is Bill Murray's participation a decade ago.

Ghostbusters 3 has been in development hell for nearly 30 years now. I'd take that as a sign that maybe, just maybe, we should let it go. There's no way it's gonna live up to 30 years of waiting that's for sure. For fuck's sake, Chris Farley was signed onto it before he died.

Original ghostbusters sucked. idgaf about the new one. Probably sucked too.

Ghostbusters 1 was lame.

It didn't suck but for me I found it good but not as amazing as everyone hyped it up to be. (I watched it for the first time before the reboot was announced:powerlevel

You probably suck too tho. Like how star wars always sucked.

I think most people wouldn't regard it as a masterpiece if it wasn't such a huge influence on their childhoods, myself included.
The cartoon series kept it extremely popular over a decade after the original film as well; to kids who weren't even alive when it originally came out.

Wow you're so edgy and cool. Link to your blog?

 

[UnKillFill]

The *real* question nobody's been asking... is are they going to be able to get Ernie Hudson? lol

 

[TrippinKahlua]

Bill Murray looks too old to play Peter Venkman anymore.
