Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3

bowman9991 writes "Dan Aykroyd reveals that all the original cast have now signed on for Ghostbusters 3, including Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson. Apparently Bill Murray, who holds a one-fifth controlling interest, was very reluctant at first, not even willing to read a third draft of Aykroyd's script. Aykroyd would like to see Ivan Reitman or Harold Ramis direct, wants to introduce a 'new generation' of Ghostbusters, and believes they could be filming the new Ghostbuster movie by winter."

    Maybe the original cast could be the ghosts.

    Besides, Ghostbusters isn't really an action film. It's a comedy with some effects.

    The phone rings and a desperate call, but the team is already engaged and Rick Moranis is left to answer the call. Attempting to prove himself worthy of being a Ghostbuster, he goes alone to encounter a demon who sends him back in time several years before the original Gozer encounter. Rick does get some action with Sigourney Weaver this time, but some other things go horribly wrong. But there is plenty of action and special effects, and by the end of the movie the team is formed albeit with some slight changes. Ghostbusters Headquarters looks like the Apple Store. Complete with Macbook Pros. And lens flare. Lots of lens flare.

    There is (or at least, there should be) a five year limit to how long after a movie comes out it's required to preface spoilers with a warning. That's enough time for the movie to go from theaters to crappy network stations.

    Books, on the other hand, shouldn't have that limit. It's hard to go through books as quickly as movies.

    Harry killed Gandalf! My God, it's full of stars. The white whale gets away, but gets caught again for Free Moby 2 through 17. The yerks take over the world and have love children with the g'ould. The Pope is actually an alien, and Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are the Illuminati.

    That said it was a good book, and you should read it anyway.
