Twenty years on, the idea of a new ghostbusters movie is still a treat.
The good news it that it finally seems to be happening. After twenty years of speculation and at least a decade of writing, re-writing, contract negotiating and general hoo ha, its happening.
December last year, Harold Ramis, the director of the first two as well as Egon, gave an interview with Heeb magazine. In it he hinted that the time was right for a new ghostbusters.
Production is set for a release in summer 2011, better late than never i guess.
In the article Ramis says that the story will factor all the old ghostbusters as well as a team of new busters. At one point there were rumours of an appatow team like Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. As awesome as this sounds all the named have shot this idea down one by one.
The article is also pretty interesting for Ramis' take on Groundhog Day, one of my favourites.
Next bit of news came from Sigourney Weaver in a channel four interview where she pretty much dropped the bomb. She let slip in the interview that she would be back for the third film as well as Bill Murray. Hinting to the storyline she said the Bill Murray would be returning as a ghost, as well as that her baby that played front and centre in the second movie will be one of the new ghostbusters. Good start, good start.
Murray confirmed this in an an article for the Mail on Sunday.
Recent reports have suggested that in keeping with the current spate of 3D movies, Ghostbusters will be released in stereoscopic 3D. Awesome.
The movie database page for the film shows that the old team of Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Ramis and Murray are all on board, and highlights some rumoured participants.
So far thats all anyone can say about the plot is that there will be a new team, but if Bill Murray and Harold Ramis are on board its sure to be hilarious. The only question left is whether we see Rick Moranis back as Louis Tully. Please please please.
