When I was 5, I wasn't allowed to go out of my backyard. But one day, playing in the backyard with my proton pack and trapper, I decided to go outside the backyard. There was an ambulance station behind it, and after that, a small forest about a block in size and width that the ambulance drivers were supposed to clean up but never did. It seemed like a good place to go try to catch ghosts. There was a kid around 11 who seen me, and we started talking about Ghostbusters. Remember the age difference. 5 and 11. This was around 1990. He was so excited to play Ghostbusters with someone that he went back to his house, found his proton pack, put on this Halloween costume (which was just a brown electrician jumpsuit) and even got his two younger sisters to put on theirs, though they really didn't want to play. We acted like we were shooting ghosts in the forest until my parents started yelling for me from the house and I had to run back. I was friends with him until around I was 11 years old, since he was 17 and hanging out with an 11 year old was weird. Even if it was all because of Ghostbusters. And that he had a crush on my middle sister. Just thought I'd share that. I'm off to watch Ghostbusters now.

Cinnamon Bastard posted:That's going to happen regardless of GB3 being made. I hold out hope on a really good director of stuff like sci-fi and comedy having a really big movie and then convincing the studio to give him Ghostbusters a decade down the road. So far, Reitman wanting the guys who wrote "Year One" to do GB3 is bad enough. Maybe they'll prove me wrong but gently caress that was a dogshit movie. Then again, I'm starting to question my own taste in everything after really enjoying the 21 Jump Street trailer. It just looks so goofy and fun and the MSTRKRFT song they selected is fun poo poo and... I'm supposed to hate Channing Tatum why do I like this trailer!?

Timby posted:That's not a Reitman thing -- Eisenberg and Stupnitsky are Ramis' personal bobos, and he's the one who said, "Yeah, I don't feel like writing the whole thing with Danny again, so I've given them all our old drafts and notes and they'll write it." Ahh okay mixed up Reitman and Ramis. I remember hearing Murray was for a Ghostbusters sequel until he saw Year One. I wonder how he'd feel about Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland) writing it instead.

Die Laughing posted:And to make myself sound even crazier: I still want to the cast of Superbad as the new Ghostbusters (I won't mind trading Cera for Eisenberg or whatevere Zombielands name is. Get him and Emma Stone back together.) It's always a headscratcher for me as to who I'd want the new Ghostbusters to be and I usually end up wanting to see an Anchorman situation where there's over a dozen cameos from comedic actors playing Ghostbusters at different franchises. However, for the main group? The only thing that would infuriate me would be someone from Big Bang Theory in the group. Otherwise I'd be cool with anything. Even a team with Justin Timberlake in it. EDIT: Let me correct that. My team would be Sam Rockwell, Bill Hader, Jason Segel and if the fourth is a woman I'll keep Emma Stone.

Lobok posted:I don't know specifically who I'd like to replace the actors (oh wait, nobody), but I would try to get a group who had worked together previously. Ramis and Murray, Ramis and Aykroyd, Aykroyd and Murray - these guys knew each other well and that was important for making the script play to everyone's strengths as well as allowing for some of the improv. I picked the three I picked (Rockwell, Hader, Segel) because they seem to create chemistry with absolutely anyone.

Diar posted:My vote is for Adam Scott, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, and Patton Oswalt. Though Hader and Segal would be loving awesome too. I wanted to go with people who are consistently funny and talented but I wanted folks who haven't worked together a ton before. It would be good to have people who had worked together for the experience but I think if it was all people who had worked together before it would feel like one of their movies instead of a Ghostbusters movie. I think we can all agree there's a good 20 comedian/actors who would be perfect as Ghostbusters. Guys who can juggle being serious, normal and comedic. The problem is the 50 others we'd never want to see in a Ghostbusters movie.

JediTalentAgent posted:Paul Rudd or MAYBE Jason Lee as Venkman is something they would have been very well suited for a long time ago. Too bad they couldn't have done a reboot some 10-12 years ago when he was closer to Murray's age in the first film. Chris Evans is the most versatile actor in Hollywood in terms of being able to play the cocky jock and the nerdy pretty boy. Timberlake of course can pull it off as well. That said, if they did a Ghostbusters re-boot, I'd still cast Rockwell and Hader (Rockwell as Venkman, Hader as Stanz) while casting James McAvoy as Egon. Dave Chappelle gets cast as Winston so I can hear him say, "I'm catching ghosts for 24 bucks an hour? NOSEE."

If Venkman is dead, he has to come back as a ghost. Actually, gently caress it. All of the Ghostbusters should be dead ghosts haunting a new team of ghostbusters. Kinda fits in with my original script I tried to write as a 15 year old where the Ghostbusters lost their souls after fighting Zuul.

punkr0csux posted:I feel like they will make it to cash in on 80's nostalgia that's hitting entertainment right now. Transformers, GI Joe, MLP, Total Recall, and the like are all getting remade, revised and redone. The studio that will put this out wants in on the wagon and I don't think they will care about the actual quality of the end product when creating it. It seems, however, that the creators do have some control. The real question you have to ask is if you have confidence in Reitman/Aykroyd/Ramis? Like most reboots, returns and rehashes, if it's good it's good. They could put together a killer script, have a great cast and put just enough money into that it both looks fantastic and isn't overblown on budget. They could find the right combination of actors which makes you go, "Yeah, I could watch more movies of these guys being Ghostbusters". That all said, the moment they picked the writers of Year One to do the script I think my confidence in that happening faded. Honestly, doesn't matter to me. If it's great it's great, if it is the worst loving movie I have seen up to that point the original will easily sober me up. I don't believe in the idea that a sequel or remake can ruin the original.

Farbtoner posted:The point is that these are all things that he enjoys doing and/or feels are an adequate test for his acting chops. Money isn't an issue for him, if he's not personally invested in a Ghostbusters sequel then he's not going to do it. Absolutely, but Teflon was replying to this line from the article: quote:Everything Murray has achieved to this point could be destroyed by Ghostbusters III. Which is a load of bullshit. Murray might fashion himself as a dramatic actor but being in Ghostbusters III won't do anything to his career. Or at the very least, it won't do any damage that the Garfield films couldn't do.

echoplex posted:The best that could happen is that they cast someone like Steve Martin in Murry's absence, and then get a load of other American Greats and play it slightly left-of-centre and have a wordy, witty old-man adventure, with fewer OTT effects and more chemistry comedy. This obviously will never happen. Steve Martin is about as no risk as it gets right now. I say they sign Louis CK to play Walter Peck as he tries to get his revenge on the Ghostbusters as a fat, balding, unemployed environmentalist protester.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Martin Short. The Steve Martin comments remind me of his appearance on Conan around the same time as Martin Short. I'd see them both as characters in Ghostbusters, sure. If Short and Martin were in the movie and it flunked, Ghostbusters III would feel like an Adam Sandler movie. Old washed up putting old washed up in the movie so everyone gets paid again. Such a terrible fate.

Yoshifan823 posted:Look at 21 Jump Street. The movie that has basically nothing to do with the TV show, but still takes the basic idea of "young cops go undercover in a high school" and runs with it, and is, by all accounts so far, pretty good. It blows my mind how I'm pumped for that movie. Channing Tatum is a terrible actor and Jonah Hill is alright but the trailers hit all of the right notes. Plus they make fun of Glee. That said, 21 Jump Street is going to have a Depp cameo so if you do a Ghostbusters reboot, you do need cameos for us folks.

Thanks, Scroto. That was neat. The point they get best is it wasn't just a prop in those movies. I remember begging for it for Christmas. I don't remember begging for any specific Ghostbusters. Of course I just got them, but getting the Ecto-1 and the Firehouse was imperative. I think those distance shots of NY with the car driving are some of the best shots of any movie.

Cdishwalla posted:I think he just tends to get too caught up in the technical stuff, or actual ghostbusting part, rather than the characters and the comedy. It was evident from the original when they had to seriously retool his script to make it into a relatable (and film-able) comedy. And he seemed to be at it again when talking about the third one, with all the time travel/dimension hopping crap. Truth is there's nothing wrong with that. I find having an obsessive compulsive is great for fiction. They just cannot be in the driver seat.

Tuxedo Jack posted:I enjoy GB2 beginning to end. I know it's reviled by many, but I loving love that movie. I can't say I love it but I have fond memories of it and when watching it again, some stuff is still good. It was a script that someone could have saved. As a kid, Viggo Ray bugged me. It wasn't until I got older that I could see that Ray was supposed to be losing it throughout the whole movie and that they cut out a bunch of scenes of him losing it. There's a scene of the Ecto driving wildly from the montage that I think was supposed to be Ray possessed. Might have that wrong. The movie tried to be absurd and succeeded, but Ghostbusters really weren't supposed to be absurd.

Timby posted:You're half-right. It wasn't so much Ray losing it throughout the movie. The scene from the montage that you refer to was originally set immediately after they leave the museum (when Ray goes into a bit of a trance while on the ladder). As they're driving back to the fire station, Ray goes berserk, starts driving like a maniac and tries to drive the Ecto-1 into a tree before Winston is able to grab control of the wheel. Afterwards, there's a bit with Venkman telling Egon that someone needs to be watching Ray around the clock -- I believe he says, "Don't even let him shave on his own." It only came up again at the end (which we see in the final cut). One wonders if Ivan Reitman was trying to send a message about Dan Aykroyd...
