Ghostbusters III...
I came upon an article at firstshowing.net talking about GB3. They are saying that it's rumored that Seth Rogen may be cast in it as he is one of those flavor of the moment actors. Well he said that it'd be a bad idea to make that movie unless they have an amazing script.
Someone at the comments was wondering how many Ghostbusters movies they have made and someone else mentioned fan made movies so I made a comment about the whole thing:
All those movies like Freddy vs Ghostbusters are fan made and thus don't count. It's like saying all those fan made star wars videos count as official Star Wars alongside the six movies. They don't even count as spinoffs. There are only two official Ghostbusters movies both starring the original cast.
Anyway I'm not sure about the prospects of a new movie right now. I don't think it takes a genius to figure out that it'll need an amazing script. So Seth Rogen didn't make some kind of big revelation or anything. Looking back I don't even think Ghostbusters II was all that it could have been. Sure it had its moments but it wasn't as good as part one in my opinion.
I think the game has more potential at this moment. I just hope it's true what I heard Dan Akroyd said that Atari has picked it up and it'll get published.
Actually Ghostbusters II was pretty derivative. I mean they start off not as ghostbusters for one reason or another.. then they get their big break and become ghostbusters. So they have a montage\exposition with them busting ghosts. Meanwhile something ominous is also going on with Venkman's love interest (sigourney weaver in both movies). So they investigate and find out that big bad demon from a foreign country is a threat to our reality. They then have to deal with some bureaucrats who want to lock them up because they think they are frauds.... but they prevail when all hell breaks loose and they have no choice but to believe them. They end up conjuring up a 100 foot novelty creature... make some destruction.. blow up the demon some how and save the day.
That's basically the plot for both movies.
Some movies just don't need to be made. Like a certain movie that is a Payne to watch…. but that's a subject for another time and place.
