AICN special agent known only as the Webcrawler found this info over at Hollywoodonline.com. Mr Webcrawler sent the story in the hopes that I could find more information for him and the rest of you readers... So does anyone have any scoop? If you do let me know, for now, here is Mr Webcrawler and his little letter...
First off, love your webpage. Secondly, I was wondering if you have heard any new information about Ghostbusters 3. I have heard many rumors, none of which I could find any truth to, but then I found this article on Hollywoodonline.com. I am hoping that you can read it and let me know if you have any other information or inside info that you could let me know about. I am a huge Ghostbusters fan, and I hope they make another movie, better than the second one obviously. Here is the article:
Dan Aykroyd Turns From "Blues Brothers" to "Ghostbusters"
(HARRY NOTE: Edited out several hundred words about Blues Brothers 2000, and jumped straight to the Ghostbusters 3 news. After all, that's what you are curious about... right?
With "Blues Brothers 2000" under his belt, Aykroyd may turn his attention to reviving "Ghostbusters." The biggest comedy hit of 1984, it was sequelized five years later in another huge hit, "Ghostbusters II." "Harold (Ramis) and I have a treatment that we really like," reports Aykroyd. "It's just a matter of writing it now. We're going to try to do it this summer."
Among the hurdles facing "Ghostbusters III" is the fact that Bill Murray and director Ivan Reitman do not want to return.
"The concept is still strong and I think that Harold and I can pull it off, if we have the time," responds Aykroyd. "The concept is that there's a positive image of life and there's a negative image of life. Hell is not some distant place, far away from this dimension or realm. Hell is right next door. It's like those old tintype photos where you turn them one way and they look positive, then you just flick them slightly and they look negative. That's our concept. Given the right technology you could flip the switch and all of a sudden the positive that we see in this room suddenly becomes negative. It's kind of neat.
"We're going to set it in New York and do a Hades version of New York, very close to life in the city as we perceive it now. You look down at the river and there's a ferry of Wall Street commuters, except they're being shoved off with pitchforks into the river which is now boiling blood. Flick it back and it's just the Brooklyn Bridge and just a normal traffic jam. Carrying that through, I think we can have a lot of fun."
