Columbia calls up new 'Ghostbusters' - Entertainment News, Front Page, Media - Variety

Quote:

Columbia Pictures is getting serious about scaring up a new installment of its blockbuster "Ghostbusters" franchise.

The studio has set "The Office" co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

Studio would not comment on the development and has been mum on recent rumors that there was interest in making a new installment of the franchise.

It has been 19 years since the last.

Who knows

This sequel has had at least as much history as Indiana Jones 4, and somehow that actually happened...

All I know is, this is my Star Wars. I'd sell every soul of every member of this entire forum to see this get made. Sorry guys.

Didn't Bill Murray already say he would not do another live action Ghostbusters?

Also Harold Ramis ... has gained a few pounds.

Money talks. Maybe they all really enjoyed working together on the game and Murray changed his mind.

I'll throw you into a river of New York hate if you try.

Damn, Zack. It better be Ghostbusters III: Citizen Kane + Lawrence of Arabia for that price.

That's what I was thinking too.

It'd be fun to see these characters again but I really have to wonder if this will actually come together.

I wouldn't mind seeing an animated movie.

To bad the game has been dropped.

Activision cans Ghostbusters game // News

Activision just isn't currently publishing the game. I think it still remains to be seen what will happen with it, but the game will be released next year one way or another. Worst case scenario is that Sony will publish the game as a PS3 exclusive. Which is fine with me but I know they'd be losing a lot of profit potential.

I'm not sure why Activision doesn't want the game, it's gotten some really good early buzz and was one of the bigger titles for the year. Perhaps, if the game industry works anything like the movie industry, they weren't happy with the deal that was in place with whomever it was they acquired?

Seems like Sony is never willing to pony up enough cash for the GB's.
