In a perfect world, we’d have a Ghostbusters 3 with Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson, with Ivan Reitman returning to direct. Also in a perfect world, Ghostbusters 3 would be a worthy sequel to the original, a great swan song of classic comedy performers returning to the roles they’re so often synonymous with.
The good news is that this perfect world is one step closer — Ivan Reitman is returning in some capacity, either as a director or a producer. What’s also great is that Rick Moranis (who has disappeared into oblivion) and the lovely Sigourney Weaver are returning as well.
The film will take place “when the paranormal researchers ‘reopen’ their ghost removal service after it has been closed for quite a few years.”
I’m sort of in shock, to be honest — this mammoth project is actually moving forward at a sure but steady pace. I think it’s the right time for it, as well. Enough time has died down since Ghostbusters II for a worthy sequel to become more of a possibility. I’ll certainly be there opening day.
What do you think of Ghostbusters 3? Is it a good idea, or simply a way to muck up a classic? Let us know in the comments, and keep an eye on AtomicPopcorn.net for more updates on the project.
