    Default Ghostbusters 3

    http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=81518

    After years of rumors, it appears that Ghostbuster 3 is finally moving forward and will likely do so with or without Bill Murray's involvement.Dan Aykroyd appeared on The Dennis Miller Show to discuss the project, dropping specific details about the sequel, hinting that the plan is to film in Spring of 2012 no matter what happens casting-wise.

    "Yes, we will be doing the movie and hopefully with Mr. Murray," he says, "That is our hope. We have an excellent script. What we have to remember is that 'Ghostbusters' is bigger than any one component, although Billy was absolutely the lead and contributive to it in a massive way, as was the director and Harold [Ramis], myself and Sigourney [Weaver]. The concept is much larger than any individual role and the promise of 'Ghostbusters 3' is that we get to hand the equipment and the franchise down to new blood."

    The comedian also confirmed reports that the plot will revolve around a new generation of Ghostbusters and hinted at the states of his and Ramis' characters.

    "My character, Ray, is now blind in one eye and can't drive the cadillac," he says, "He's got a bad knee and can't carry the packs... Egon is too large to get into the harness. We need young blood and that's the promise. We're gonna hand it to a new generation."

    If they end up make this without Murray it will fail miserably. And from what I've read it's obvious that he is not interested in coming back. He was given the script a year ago and hasnt even read it yet.

    We'll just have to wait and see how this turns out. Personally I would've liked to have seen a completely CG film like Ghostbusters The Game. That way the characters remain ageless and the film could take place in any time period.

    If you were to go the animation route, you're better off making it a TV show than a film.

    I'm guessing Aykroyd said "premise" instead of "promise"...

    After holding this movie hostage for several years, it appears Bill Murray has finally agreed to return.

    It's about time.

    That has been the number one reason for this film being in limbo for years. Murray rarely does sequels, in fact I've read that even while doing the voice work for the game he wasn't that committed to it. Hope this is true and not some internet rumor.

    Yeah I think I was Rick Rolled on this one.

    Either way, if Murray keeps refusing, Akroyd should just let this thing die.

    They shouldn't do this movie without Murray.
