Ghostbusters 3....DISASTER.

  Just when i thought things couldnt get any more twisted in movie land than jesse Eisenberg being cast as Lex Luthor in Superman vs Batman i read today that some descisions have been made regarding Ghostbusters 3. The director of bridesmaids is directing, the screenplay is beng knocked up by the producer behind The Heat and its predicted that the leads will be all female. I fell asleep twice during bridesmaids, i hated The Heat with a passion. I admit i would prefer the original line up as best as possible. If not i have no gripes about an all female team taking the lead. Given the roles, thats assuming the actresses are actually funny. One name thats already being floated is Melissa Mccarthy. Personally i think she about as funny as treading in dog s**t. Does anyone else have a bad feeling about Ghostbusters 3?

  Yeah the news about this doesn't sound good, the director has also said it won't even be a continuation of the previous films, it will basically be a remake (because of some total bullshit reason). And he would have the remaining members of the original cast in the film but not as the characters that played in the first two, which is actually worse than not having them in at all (essentially saying look here's the original cast please watch the film).

  Not having the cast in their original roles is like the soaps changing Phil Mitchell's character and calling her Philippa! However, the fact it is a comedy and a film means that it does give them some creative license, I am just not sure they are being very creative!

  This is pretty much the opposite of creative, it's easier to start again and cover the same ground (these ghostbusters are frauds, ghosts aren't real etc), than it is to put some proper effort in add to the mythology of the very popular franchise. I highly doubt they will get the remaining original cast members back for a pointless cameo as a different character.

  It depends how skint they are after a few years away from the silver screen I reckon. I know films are intended to make money but I do hope people can see this as a crappy 'get rich quick' scheme!

  It just won't work with an all female cast. Silly decision

  Having the original cast in the movie as different characters just to dress it up and put a few more bums on seats so the studios can justify further destoying a classic somewhere down the line. It makes you wonder if any creative thought has gone into this inevitable absolute disaster or if the studio execs / film makers involved just blindly threw darts at a board and decided to run with whatever they landed on. As far as the original cast goes, hopefully many of them will tell the makers of the new film where to stick their token appearance but, money is money i suppose and if they are hard up enough. I would be suprised if Bill Murray agreed to dirty himself like that though.

  Well I imagine there was some creative thinking behind it when it was actually Ghostbusters 3 (and was being developed by Ramis and Akroyd). But at this point it's pure greed on the part of the studio and pure idiocy on the part of the new director.

  It would be interesting to find out what the running idea for Ghostbusters 3 was going to be when it was being developed by Ramis and Akroyd. The traversty that is being commited by the studio is a money making exercise. Talking about the director and the writer of Ghostbusters 3, they are the individuals responsible for bridesmaids and The Heat. Doesnt fill me with confidence as, personally, i hated both movies.

  Have just seen an interview with Paul Feig, the director of the abomination that is gonna be Ghostbusters 3.In it he talks about his praise for his all female cast, knowing them having worked with them before (im shocked lol). He also mentions that, for all want and purpose he ignored Dan and Ernies input / ideas and has decided its gonna be an origins reboot commencing with a world without ghosts. He goes on but the general feeling is that he knows he has been handed this instant guarenteed payday and basically couldnt give a shit about it being any good.
