How many people have been following the insane Ghostbusters 3 saga? Every few weeks there’s something new regarding the long pending sequel and here’s another update to feed your addiction. Word is spreading like wildfire that the film is getting closer and closer to a production start and we can expect to see it in theaters sometime in 2011.
Amongst the heavy promotion for Avatar, Sigourney Weaver let some primo information slip. Over the past few months there’s been word that Ghostbusters 3 is in the works, and every one of the original cast members are ready to reprise their roles except for Bill Murray. In a recent interview Weaver may have let the cat out of the bag, as to what Murray’s involvement will be.
There are many long awaited film sequels in the works and Ghostbusters 3 in one of them. We’ve heard updates from various actors, producers, and even the director of the previous movies in regards to the status of the film. Co-star Dan Aykroyd recently spoke about the new movie Wednesday night on the radio show Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, and he gave listeners an earful.
We don’t need the work, if the public only had two Ghostbusters we’d all be fine.
MakingOf.com has just sent over a really interesting interview with writer/director Harold Ramis who talks about how the upcoming Ghostbusters film came back into the picture and how he plans to get the film onto the big screen. It’s refreshing to hear how aware he is of the dangers of doing another film, and the fact that they don’t NEED another film, they’re only making it because fans seem to want it and the cast and crew thinks it would be fun. They also won’t be trying to make the film bigger and better, the best part about Ghostbusters is that it’s not about special effects, it’s about the characters and the story.

Harold Ramis‘ new comedy Year One, starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, hits theaters Friday and so far, the film looks hilarious. However, Ramis is better-known for his acting role in the legendary comedy Ghostbusters, which he also co-wrote with Dan Aykroyd. Collider sat down with Ramis to talk about a possible Ghostbusters 3 and here is what he had to say about it:
“If we get a good script we’ll do it. I don’t think any of us feel we need to for our own careers or anything, but if people wants to see it we’ll try to give it to them. But only if it’s good.”
Well! We’ve been hearing about Ghostbusters 3 for a while now, but apparently, it’s finally starting to get somewhere.
Here is what we know so far from /Film, Firstshowing, and MTV:
