Then I got this from a reader of a Great Britian WebBoard. The Gatekeeper passed it on over to me. Apparently this will be in tomorrow's USA TODAY.
It was confirmed today at the official All Star Cafe by screen writer and actor Dan Aykroyd, that Ghostbuster's 3 will end with "To Be Concluded." (Like the end of Back to the Future 2.) Dan was quoted in saying to USA Today reporter, Danielle Gray that, "It was unintentional. But when we actually began planning the movie with Columbia, we found out that the script was just too long to view in one sitting." Dan also told reporters that Columbia didn't like the idea of making a fourth installment to what was "supposed" to be a trilogy, so they told him to cut some scens out. However, even though Dan took several scenes cut, Columbia found that the movie was still too long, and agreed, after Dan rufused to cut anymore scens from his script, to make the last two hours a whole other movie that will be out nine months after Ghostbusters 3 hits theaters. On that note, the question arises: "Will this delay Ghostbusters 3 arrival in theaters?" Well, if Columbia decides to run production for both part 3 and 4 at the same time, then the answer is "Yes." This is most likely what will happen since the same cast and scenes will be used for both movies. It would be much more economical for Columbia to take that route, but nonethelessmuch more discouraging for the millions of Ghostbuster fans around the world awaiting part 3. I'll keep you updated on the situation. (Look for this report to be in the March 10th paper in USA Today.)
