I’m half/half about recasting. On one side I can’t see anyone other than the original cast play their roles in GB3 and a failed movie will screw up the franchise like with Iniana Jones and Star Wars. It just doesn’t feel right as a huge GB fan to take that chance. But… On the other side, if done right and new GB movie would be awesome! Besides, why not take advantage of a potentially great franchise? If its done as a “pass-the-torch” sorta way it would make fans judge their “replacements” too much. Maybe just a new crew with new characters should be the way to go. Keep it GB at its core but let the new actors (whoever they may be) be themselves. I don’t know about you but I’d be a lot less critical of them and might even enjoy them. I think the writers can take more risks with the movie if taken in this light. Either way, if GB3 is made it BETTER be great. Good just won’t cut it with this fan. If not, scrap it and spare me the heartache.

I think they should have a story where Winston (being the only one who looks the same as he did 25 years ago) sets out to train the ghostbusters up to their former selves, however after a while they decide to hire a bunch of new ghostbusters. Just any good young actors/comedians, then they will most likely stay on for more films. Then winston can show em the ropes while the others do all the work that involves no physical exercise, like find

what ever, is a stupid rumor, yea i agree , ghostbusters 1 and 2 was fun, but if this rumor is true , the old guys need another team of ghostbusters, this film need to much action. this is my idea respect to cast,
new ghostbusters : silvester stallone, arnold s, bruce willis, and wesley snipes. this cast it’s terrific.
like satan,lucifer or diablo , chamuco : al pacino

hi, i’m the real Sony….you know…i’ve made Spiderman and some others fantastic movies!
Ghostbusters 3 will be here….but in 2010 and live action because Bill Murray has agreed to do a little role….
WE’ll have Dan Aykroyd as Doctor Stantz’d father, Ray Stantz and Ray Stantz nephew.
we’ll have Harold Ramis (he has put himself on a diet to lose weight) as Egon Spengler and Slimer’s brother. (and he’ll voice Slimer babies!!)
we’ll have Bill Murray as a retired Peter Venkman.
we’ll have Ernie Hudson as Winston’s cousin because winston will die at the very beginnig of the movie.
we’ll have an ecto-helicopter.
we’ll have the A-Team old cast (minus Hannibal) as a group of GB’s enemies.
and we’ll have a bigh lough on patrick’s face because this IS NOT TRUE!

The Ghostbusters 3 movie will be made in CGI because Bill Murray agreed to voice his role and it will be the 4 orignal GB’s in GB3 providing there voices in GB3. The movie will be here in 2009 so it’s coming in 2009 hang on tight! I’m glad that the GB3 movie will have the orignal actors providing there voices in CGI for the third film!

Please, Please let this just be a rumor. I like the Judd Apatow crew but i would hate them for this. I have faith in their ability to make good movies but i don’t even think the original crew can put this together. And pass it off to Steve Carell, Seth Rogan and the rest of that crew is outrageous, cast the fucking parts to actors that will fit, this will be a bad slapstick comedy that is full of the same lame jokes. There is definitely a better group of comedic actors that fit the roles. Sorry Steve Carell does not belong in this movie, he can be funny in the right movie but this isn’t it. I’m looking forward to pineapple express, an original movie, stop butchering classic 80’s movies because you can’t think of anything new, and if it’s some scumbag producer with a lack of originality, please somebody put this douche down.

I also must point out that Bill Murray’s performance in this movie simply cannot be outdone. In fact, his performance is so seminal that it’s the reason I cannot rank TDK about Ghostbusters in my favorite movie list (they sit tied at #2).

Derek - I get that Don Cheadle’s a good - well, great - actor. I just didn’t agree with the opinion that his role in the Ocean’s movies made him suitable for Ghostbusters.

But then, Ghostbusters isn’t Hotel Rwanda, either. I dunno, maybe he has some Robert Downey Jr-esque comic talents hidden away.

My girlfriend and I actually just had sex last night while watching ghostbusters II. That aside, I have an idea. STOP with the fucking remakes. There is not a cast on earth who could pull of ghostbusters like the original. This is one of those movies you leave the fuck alone. I’ll tell you, this pisses me off almost as bad as when I read about the Bill & Ted remake a little earlier. FUCK THAT. and no, this is not about “ruining my childhood” or any of that bullshit, this is about coming up with original ideas and making good fucking movies again. Christ, for as long as everybody has been making fun of the eighties, we sure love to come back to it. FUCK howard stern for remaking rock and roll high school, FUCK darren arofnofnfossky (who I admired up until now, spelling intentional) for remaking robocop, and FUCK rogen and appatow for thinking because they made some stupid fucking stoner movie that has been done 1,000 times before that they feel the need to remake more dumbass stoner comedies and remakes of movies that are 1,000 times funnier than anything they could make on their own. NO originality left. /rant, and feel free to point out grammatical and spelling errors at your leisure, because I just typed for the sake of typing and if spelling errors are the best you can come up with, fuck you, too. :)

Tom, opinions are like elbows.

As far as Don Cheadle goes, he is in fact an exceptional actor. Performances in Hotel Rwanda, Crash, and Reign Over Me assure me of this. One oscar nomination for Hotel Rwanda… but what does the Academy know, it’s not like *they’re* people that work in Hollywood.

Wait a Sec!…who’s playing Jake Kong & Eddie Spencer? Will this one include Tracy the beanie wearing gorilla? Bonus points if you know what I’m talking about.

Ghostbusters III should tell the tale of a the UK franchise where everything in use is held together by duck tape and bailing wire. They don’t really have the ability to contain ghosts, its more of a catch and relocate program.

UK Ghostbusters:
Simon Pegg
Nick Frost
David Tennant
Rupert Gint - Dana’s son Oscar.

American:
Steve Carrell - Ghostbusters, Inc. CFO
