Seriously, Hollywood needs to find some new creative people because this whole remaking old movies thing is getting really old. Word came down the wire today that the powers that be are contemplating making a sequel to Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. Say it ain't so!
Variety reports that Columbia Pictures is gearing up to bring another Ghostbusters film to the big screen, ideally featuring all four main characters from the 1984 blockbuster and its 1989 sequel—Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson. Both '80s-era films were cowritten by Aykroyd and Ramis and directed by Ivan Reitman. Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, both executive producers on The Office, have been tapped to pen the new installment—after which, Columbia will approach its would-be leading men. (source)
So its not a done deal and Dan Aykroyd was quoted as telling a radio station last year that if they ever made a sequel, it would have to be CGI or something because Bill Murray wouldn't appear in a live action sequel. So there's hope that the Ghostbusters franchise won't be further tarnished. I mean Ghostbusters II wasn't that great but the original was awesome. Please, someone make them stop!
