Big Ghostbusters Announcement?!

Posted on Friday, February 22nd, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Ghostbusters Comic Con

Late breaking news from the floor of WonderCon in San Francisco. The convention program features an interesting tease that features the classic Ghostbusters logo and “something exciting is coming to the neighborhood!” “Look for the big announcement at Comic Con San Diego 2008″.

Could this be an announcement regarding the upcoming Ghostbusters video game? Probably not. The cat has already been let out of the bag regarding the franchise’s video game plans. Besides, on further inspection, you will notice a “Sony Pictures Home Entertainment” logo. The video game is being produced under an entirely different entity. So what could this be about?

Could it be the Ghostbusters 3 computer animated movie that has been in development for a few years now. Dan Aykroyd confirmed the development of an animated Ghostbusters 3 in an interview last year.

“I wrote a script called Hell Bent, Ghostbusters go to hell basically. The premise is that it’s Manhellton. There’s Manhattan and ManHELLton. And if you can build an inter-dimensional phase system so that you can go from one dimension to another. We’ve succeeded doing that and we go to the hell side. Downtown, Folley Square - where the cops are, they’re all blue minotaurs. Central Park is this huge deep mine, green demons there, surrounded by black onyx thousand foot high apartment buildings with classic red devils. Very wealthy. And we go visit a Donald Trump like character - Mr. Siffler. Lou Siffler, Lucifer. So I will say we meet the devil in it. It won’t happen as a live action because Billy [Murray] won’t come on to the live action but he will voice his part, as a CGI animated project. With CGI, and animation, the way these cartoons are done, we can do everything I wrote in that script for a lot less money.”

So maybe the project will be officially announced at Comic Con? Although I don’t understand why they wouldn’t go theatrical with such a release. I have also confirmed with my sources that Ghostbusters is currently being prepped for release on Blu-ray disc. Could that be the big announcement?

Discuss: Do you want to see a direct-to-DVD com puter animated Ghostbusters 3? Or would you rather the announcement be the Blu-ray release of the original films?

  • As much as I agree with you Bobby, if people are consistently idiotic like this, it's probably safe to say another one will get started not too long after.

    Someone needs to shut this thread down.

    Doesn't any law suit have to be formal. not via a blog on a film web site, and are you Harold Ramis or Christopher C. Dunham. Even if I were to spead any rumours it would not be a breach to copyright law or any other law. If a film company were to present a lawsuit to everyone who has an opinion it would be endless amounts of paperwork. I'm just telling everyone what i've heard, thats all. nothing illegal about that. P.S. Identity Fraud is a crime Christopher/Harold.
  • Harold Ramis
    Patrick,
    We will be contacting you with you lawsuit shortly regarding the rumors you are spreading about the Ghostbusters Franchise. This is your second formal warning. If you continue to spread false rumors we will be pressing charges.

    P.S. I'm stuck down a hole can you help, please.
  • Bobby
    Give it up pat.

    GB3 isn't happening in 2009!
  • Patrick
    I'm not a Douche Bag Patrick! It is CGI. That is just a trailer put together to show the release. Think about it. I'm not CRAZY. Your a CRAZY DOUCHE BAG. Hmmmph
  • Bobby
    Patrick,
    I've watched the trailer and I can tell you it's 100% fake. That trailer is maade up of clips from other movies. Plus, you originally said ghostbusters 3 is going to be in CGI. That trailer is not CGI.

    You seriously are CRAZY if you think that is a "real" Trailer for ghostbusters 3.
  • Patrick
    No!!!!! Don't you see Bobby. Can't you see that Alfie is another faker. He just wants to make us believe Ghostbusters 3 isn't coming, even though I know the truth. Don't believe the Fake Alfie's. My friend from san Diego told me that her collegue (the real Alfie) uploaded the trailer at the comic con office for all to see, but had to describe it as a fan made trailer to avoid copyright issues. The projectors were broken she said but now it's online.
  • Bobby
    Patrick, if you believe that is a real trailer for ghostbusters 3, then you truly are mentally retarded.
  • Alfie
    I created the video your talking about. I've got a comment on it mentioning Patrick, so I thought i'd search google to see who he is, i typed patrick ghostbusters 3, and it seems this Patrick or number of Patricks has a history with ghostbusters rumours. this site being one of them. No Patrick, my trailer (I created) isn't a real trailer. i'm a fan of ghostbusters and enjoy editing films, I mentioned that on my channel and on the video in question. I'm glad you liked it, and please anyone else who would like to comment please do, but i quote, it's a fan made trailer. A homage to the ghostbusters franchise and I thought it would be fun to put up my version of the trailer, seen as there are so many online.
  • Patrick
    youtube.com/watch?v=cv39_qiltG8 should have been on at comic con. projectors were broken, screens were broken, now its online. now you can see the truth.
  • Patrick
    Yeah there is loads of Patricks and sonys. Thats what i'm saying. don't trust them.
  • Patrick
    I'm not an annoying kid or mentally handicapped adult, i'm a film enthusiast who is lucky enough to have friends in the right places, you wouldn't say the same about other people with inside information. They won't lie neither will all the other people who have given me the news that ghostbusters 3 will be here. The trailers on the internet have to say thier fan made, if they didn't they would be pulled off for copyright. Your looking at the trailer and thinking its just another fan one. It says its a fan one to stay online, for us all to see. Dan Aykroyd said so, and even has him speaking at the end of the trailer, he knows, he wouldn't lie to us, sony wouldn't lie to me. Ghostbusters will be here, you will see, i will be so happy to see it, and see all the faces of the people who said i was a liar. Your a liar. Don't listen to the fake patricks and sonys, they tell you lies. They make you think i'm crazy, i'm not. This is happening, Ghostbusters 3 is happening
  • Bearsuit
    I'm pretty sure that Patrick is about 20 different people. Seriously, you can be anyone you want on the comment section here. Check it out, I'll be Dan Aykroyd in just a second...
  • Bobby
    Patrick, are you an elementary school drop out?

    Believing that a ghostbuster 3 is coming in 2009 isn't "proof"; and all those trailers on youtube are NOT official trailers but trailers made by fans.

    I'm starting to think this patrick guy is an act...some guy playing the role as an annoying kid, or mentally handicapped adult, who's a ghostbusters fanatic that believes that a GB3 will be here in 2009 even though there's no credible proof; and even if Dan Aykroyd himself told him it's not going to happen he'd still believe it is coming out in 2009...he'd then say something like "that's not the real Dan Aykroyd, Dan wouldn't lie and neither would I".

    Seriously patrick guy,
    You're like a broken record repeating the same nonsense over and over. Please just keep your mouth shut until something official has been announced...which probably won't happen any time soon.
  • Patrick
    No your wrong, Ghostbusters will be here, the trailer is there to see. you can't even see the trailer is real. thats the proof. It's not an official trailer but proof that other people believe ghostbusters 3 will be here as i do. it will, you'll see. My friends know, I have contacts, thier telling the truth. They are not pulling my leg, i would feel it. I would know. You don't know, you should look and listen before crossing my road, cos i'm the wise one. Ghostbusters will be here in 2009 and i'm looking forward to that. So should you. the trailer is on youtube (youtube.com/watch?v=cv39_qiltG8) my friend told me about it, he won't lie, he can't lie to me, i would know. You will see. You will be sorry and you will be saying sorry to me when you see the trailer and the film in 2009.
  • Magnum
    Hey Patrick I've been reading these blogs all year and that trailer is FAKE!!! LOL! Listen pal the movie is in the works but if it comes out in cgi it will only be a coincidence because nothing has been made yet. Your friends were pulling your leg. I want a GB3 more than anyone...but your reaching. Its not coming out for a while. Sorry to break it to you. Oh and don't respond cussing and calling me names as you usually do to others who don't agree with you. You haven't proved anything.
  • Patrick
    I mean it, give in to me, i'm on the truth, i'm the guy who has the inside information, the one who sees the films that are due for release before they get released, read my last message then look at the trailer. I'm not dangerous, I just know what i'm taking about. don't fall for the fake Patricks, thier fake. Fakers do what fakers know. Thats FAKE stuff. Ghostbusters 3 is going to be awsome, I mean Completely of the wall.
  • Patrick
    Non of the fake Patricks are telling the truth, i'm the real Patrick and i'm telling the truth. Ghostbusters 3 is going to be here, and you will know the truth soon. the other Patricks are wrong. i'm right and so am I, I being the real Patrick. If you don't believe me look at the trailer on Youtube now, BruceVenkman, it looks credible to me, might not be 100% but its not a lie, the people who upload on youtube don't lie. The screens were fixed the trailer is now on youtube for all to see hee he shamon. youtube.com/watch?v=cv39_qiltG8
  • Patrick(not forged)
    Wow, the drugs... I'm back down to Earth now. I need to stop doing drugs because it makes me do things that I don't mean. I just checked this site again to see if anyone forgave me for my heart-felt apology and realized that I exploded again in my drug-induced stupor. I apologize again and I am checking myself into rehab tomorrow morning. Wish me luck you guys.

    p.s. With the birds I'll share this lonely view and, with the birds I'll share this lonely view and...
  • Patrick
    The Ghostbusters 3 CGI movie has already shown a preview at the Theater. They showed a teaser trailer to the movie and it's coming in 2009 I was told this by a friend of mine. All of you guys are so stupid and Retarded because i told you a Thousand times and you want to argue with me because your not Gb fans at all. The CGI GB3 movie is coming in 2009 and the teaser trailer will be on youtube at the end of the month. I'm not lonely at all somebody forged my name. I have a Girlfriend and My life is happy very Happy so please stop forging my name because that's not cool at all because I'm telling all of you the truth about the movie and I got proof from my friends and 2009 is the year for GB3 in CGI and all of you will feel stupid and I will be laughing very hard in your face!
  • The Truth
    Patrick,
    Apology Accepted...lol.
  • Patrick
    I'm sorry, Bobby. I thought about what I said to you and it was not right. There probably isn't going to be a GB3 in CGI, but I just never wanted to lose hope. Please forgive me, all of you. I just wish there would be another GB movie that I could see in the theater, because I don't have a game console and I can't afford one. If that is the only way I can get GB3 in CGI I'll have to get a job which is what I'm going to do right now. I've filled out 5 applications so far. Wish me luck, I hope to be PLAYING GB3 in CGI very soon.


    p.s. I love all of you, hurt by the cold, so hard and lonely too, when you don't know yourself.
  • Patrick
    Bobby your handicapped and full of shit because your mental and retarded. I', NOT HANDICAPPED you are!!! You are full of shit. I want to kick your fucking ass, because the movie is coming in 2009 and you will feel like an asshole and retarded! Fuck You and take a fucking hike you stupid fucking retarded person! Why would I be making this up? To get Attn No because I'm reading right Info.and your reading wrong Info. Calling me names I want to kick your ass. You need help major help because your fucking retarded and stupid so die you fucking prick!
  • Bobby
    Patrick is full of shit!!!
    and he may be mentally handicapped...
  • The Truth
    So, you're saying the GB3 trailer is on youtube but there's no mention of it in the media....I'm sure there would've been some mention of it in the entertainement news; perhaps Entetainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, etc. I'm guessing your watching some poorly made "fan-trailer" and believing it's an official trailer...that's just sad and pathetic.
  • Patrick
    The teaser trailer is up on youtube.com now so you guys can quit lying to yourselfs over nothing because its up and it allready has 40,000 views,two ofwhhich were me so you assholes can quit playing your stupid games with yourselfs you dummasses.
  • The Truth
    Patrick, you're full of shit.
  • Patrick
    Listen to me you asshole the movie is being made and it's coming in 2009. One of my friends had to see his doctor and he wore a GB shirt and his nurse told him that she saw a teaser at the Theater. She told him that the movie was in CGI and the release date is 2009. Your fucked up in the head and you know nothing at all. Your reading wrong Info.and you belive the false Info. Sony has already said that the movie will be in CGI and there right and I'm right too. The Teaser Trailer will be on youtube at the end of August and you will feel very stupid and I will be laughing very hard in your face! 2009 GB3 in CGI will be here because the nurse wouldn't be lying and my friend wouldn't be lying to so I don't care if you don'tt belive me because I'm right and your wrong very wrong!
  • The Truth
    It's been a while since we've heard from Patrick. It looks like he's finally accepted that Ghostbusters 3 in CGI isn't being made.
  • The Truth
    Patrick,
    a week ago you said the trailer would be on youtube in two weeks...so shouldn't it be on youtube in 1 week from now.? As the weeks go by, are you going to continue to say it'll be up in two weeks?

    I bet you $1000.00 that the trailer won't even be up on youtube in 4 weeks (by Sept 10th). Will you shut up if I'm right?
  • Patrick
    It will be on youtube in a week or so. hang on tight because it will be on youtube pretty quick and the teaser trailer for GB3 in CGI will be awesome as well as the movie. 2009 for GB3 in CGI and the GB fans has made GB3 Trailers to proove that for the 2009 release!
  • Scout
    Why is it taking so long to upload to YouTube? Are they having problems with the server?
  • Patrick
    Listen to me you fucking asshole. I'm NOT A LIAR!!! The GB3 CGI Teaser trailer will be on youtube in 2 weeks or less in a week so please stop calling me me a liar because I'm not a liar. The CGI GB3 movie will be here in 2009 and you will see that I'm right and your wrong and you will be wrong so please stop calling me a Liar because I'm not a liar you are because your reading wrong Information. The movie WILL be here in CGI in 2009 GB3 and you will see that I'm right and your wrong! 2009 GB3 in CGI will be here and the movie will be a number 1 hit!
  • The Truth
    Patrick,
    The cgi trailer isn't on youtube. Does this mean you are a liar?
  • griffty
    There what is. nobody doubted the game. Sony didn't say it was pushed back to coincide with a film release.
  • GBFreek83
    Thank you Truth...there it is.
  • The Truth
    Acclaim is no longer publishing the game, but the game will come out (once they find a new publisher). Delays are inevitable. Sony (the real sony, not patrick's fake sony) is saying they might wait til June 2009 to release it during the 25th anniversary of ghostbusters...Hopefully it comes out sooner.
  • GBFreek83
    Patrick, it wouldn't matter to you if I told you I knew you were lying 100% would it?

    You're just having with all this, despite facts. This is not only scary, but very, very, very sad.
  • GBFreek83
    ...wow...
  • Scout
    YouTube doesn't use projectors...
  • Knightwing
    The Joker eh? Anyway, I am really excited about the cartoon show releasing on DVD! Thats awesome. I hope they make a GB3, but I think the video game is it. Still wasn't the GB game canned by Acclaim? Or is it just not coming out until 2009 now?

    http://games.ign.com/dor/articles/894993/game-s...
  • Ha..Ha...ha... I was at comic con and the only news was The Real Ghostbusters series on DVD. Yet there is someone on youtube saying the trailer is coming. Still I don't believe them. Anybody want to know how I got these scars? No?
    .......................................
    ...........................
    .................
    ........
    Ha HA Ho He Ho HA..................Why so serious?
  • Patrick
    Listen asshole I told you the truth the GB3 teaser trailer will be on youtube in 2 weeks and if you don't belive me then it will be your own fault not mine. In 2009 GB3 will be here and you will feel like an ass not me because I'm telling you the truth about GB3 in CGI 2009 release!
  • Patrick
    Listen asshole. YouTubes projectors will be fixed and working in two weeks. Im not a liar! You are!
  • The Truth
    So what's your excuse going to be when the trailer isn't on youtube in 2 weeks? Are you going to say youtube's projector is broken?
  • Patrick
    I'm not a liar that guy is a big liar because he isn't a true GB fan like I am so he will make up lies about GB3 and me . Please Ignore him and belive me because I'm telling the truth about GB3 in CGI. The movie will be here in CGI in 2009 and the teaser trailer will be on youtube in 2 weeks. My friend from San diego said that the teaser trailer for GB3 will be on youtube in 2 weeks and the projector was broken at the Comic-Con so it will be here pretty quick. Why would I lie about that because i'm telling the truth about GB3 in CGI and it will come in 2009 and if you don't want to belive me well that's your own fault not mine!
  • griffty
    A 3rd ghostbusters will probably be likely if the game does well. Rob Britton is right, Unless Patrick can provide proof of a release, any GB film that happens (if any) will be considered coincidental with his prediction. There's no doubt about Patrick's passion to see a new film though, I admire that.
  • Adam
    Damn! would have got away with it too if it wasn't for the pesky truth. lol.
