Pop culture updates #18.


Another thin trickle of Ghostbusters news, and it's....

GHOSTBUSTERS 3!!!!!!

....eeeeehhhhh maaaaaybbeeee.....



Dan Aykroyd was on Dan Rather's new show, and said....

“There is a possibility of a reunion with the three remaining Ghostbusters… It’s being written right now.”

And....

“I think Billy will come. The story’s so good. Even if he plays a ghost.”

Now, Dan's been singing this tune for 20 goddamned years now.
I'm not gonna hold my breath.

BUT...

Critics of Answer The Call pointed out that Bill Murray seemed kind of downcast and weird acting on the Jimmy Kimmel meetup of the two casts.

Bill later clarified, he loved the movie, he loved the girls, but "it should have been us".

Oh, NOW you regret not doing it, Bill!?!?
You were the reason 3 didn't get made!!

So, it does ring true to me that Dan could get Bill on board this time.

But, all this relies on Sony opening up the purse strings again for another one after losing money on ATC.

And on that score, Paul Feig revealed the budget on ATC was so ridiculously high, because the failed development on all those other Ghostbuster 3s  got folded into their budget, like all the other failed Superman 5s dragged down "Superman Returns".

So, thanks for that too, Bill.

You owe us a Ghostbsuters 3 as an apology now.
Muthafucka, you did Garfield 1 & 2, you're not too classy for NOTHIN!

OTOH, with all the drama, and Bill being a dick, I dunno how awkward it would be.
I'd like to see Dan, and Sigourney, and Ernie, and Annie, and maybe even Rick, all together again though. That'd be worth the ticket. Maybe throw grown up Oscar in there.

Much as I loved ATC, every time I see one of those cameo characters, I think "aw....I wanna follow THAT character's story, give THEM a whole movie!".


So....yeah, that's where all that stands now.

And again, still no word on the animated one.

We'll know more on the 35th anniversary.
Presumably.
