True Ghostbusters fans shouldn't want a third Ghostbusters movie. Having Peter, Egon, WInston and Ray in their 60s mentoring some new comedians is a terrible idea. The four original characters should never age, in the same way Superman and Batman never really age, the Ninja Turtles are always Teenagers, etc. Ghostbusters was like capturing lightning in a bottle, and the second movie is proof of that.

I can understand his hesitation. There's always a fear that there will be critic backlash against making a third film after a long hiatus. Take the 4th indiana jones, for instance. Yes, I love Ford, but yes also, I think it was kind of ridiculous watching Indie 'float' around all obviously decrepit-like on a cord (doesn't help they got the Transformers kid, either. I know some people like him, but let's face it, he's a terrible actor). It did take Indie down a notch with me (I try to pretend the fourth one doesn't exist...). Bill's a legend because he made such great films like GB I&II. To make a III and have it totally bomb out because it was ridiculous (not in a good way) would definitely hurt my pride as a comedy legend. 

Also, I think some kids might expect something more like 'ghostchasers', who essentially brought Murray's creation to life (as much as possible). Ghostchasers is cool and all, but it's not as exciting as the fantasy world murray created was. Then there are shows like Supernatural on the CW, which is, essentially, GhostBusters with a modern and (lately, *sigh*) religious overtone. Could proton packs really compete with that kind of 'realism'? I think it might be hard to live up to those kinds of expectations, but I dunno! Could be a recipe for disaster.

Still, they can give 'the old guys' roles that don't require running around in a suit or stunts. They could transfer their consciousnesses to robots 1000 years into the future for all I care! Add in some sexy guys that already have associations with the supernatural (Allison Mack or Allison Scagliotti might make a hot Janine with modern-day tech, no?). Heck, they could make the whole thing about fat, old guys running around senile through the halls of a nursing home carrying telephones as their packs and I'd STILL go watch it. There is supposed to be a new Bill & Ted in the works, too. I'm definitely contributing my $12 to go see those 'old dudes' run around, Rufus or no.

C'mon Bill, so you don't like running around? Don't! But don't dash our dreams for a new sequel just because of that! Make it work!

There wouldn't even be all that much running around for the "fat old guys," the plan has long been to have the original Ghostbusters acting as mentors to a new group of younger guys, as ended up getting done in the (crap for its own host of reasons) "Extreme Ghostbusters" cartoon.

Replace Bill Murray with Louie CK, new character.

Who wanted to see Bill Murray's body 20 years ago anyway? The man was ugly and out of shape to begin with. What does he want a bunch of muscle men? He is so full of himself, I would be glad he is not in the movie.

why'd gothamist even post this.  they even warn you at the beginning it's probably shit. just leave it out

I will only see the movie if Wes Anderson directs it and there is a scene where Slimer is wearing a corduroy suit.

Oh my god best comment of the day.

I would see it only if the old crew somehow died and became ghosts themselves....only to be hunted down by a new group of Ghostbusters. This way CGI can keep them spry

he was fine with the video game two years ago?

Smart move Bill. Better to shred the script before the critics can.

I keep reading about how badly Hollywood is doing, how even videogames bring home more cash per year than the box office, which is in the middle of a twenty year decline.

But, then again, did anybody check Fandango this holiday season? The Muppets (which was actually really good), Dragon Tattoo for the few people who are too illiterate for subtitles and/or have been living under a rock and didn't already see the ENTIRE TRILOGY this year on netflix, or MIA 3: Tom Cruise is still alive. 

So what do you do, as a movie fan in New York? You hit up small releases with the directors and film festivals...where you learn the directors purposely pervert the movie on the screen so they'll still have some interesting bomb to drop on the few people in the audience who watch them present the movie in person, willfully dulling their own master craft for the sake of a 20 minuete Q & A at best a couple thousand people world wide will see...or a gem like Monogamy which takes 2 years to finally, if ever, hit your local friendly Netflix account as an afterthought. With absolutely no PR support or advertising. No matter how well it did at Tribecca. 

I'd like to fork over some of my hard earned cash this holiday season. I really would. There are still a million stories to be told, and I don't even mind re-watching some of the really really great ones. But Hollywood has done absolutely everything in their power to put me to sleep if I even get in the door. 

TL;DR: Help us Mr Murray, your our only hope!

Won't see it either way. The fact that "why can't hollywood do anything original" has become cliche shows just how bad the problem is.

This is apropos of the release of the new Mission Impossible movie. I've always wondered why Cruise couldn't just create his own damn spy franchise instead of contaminating the original concept with lots of deaths and explosions (and most galling of all, a corrupt Jim Phelps). Then again, I can't think of a single TV-to-movie adaptation that I've liked.

Cause then he wouldn't have had that catchy music (or all the free press/word-of-mouth that comes with a 'reboot').

Addams Family
The Fugitive
The Muppet Movie
Star Trek
Naked Gun
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Borat
Wayne's World

and honorable mentions for trying to Dragnet, the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Kids in the Hall Brain Candy and Maverick

waynes world, kids in the hall brain candy, and the first Adams family are some of my fav movies of all time when i was younger

Addams Family - Ugh. Raul Julia couldn't match John Astin's demented gleam in his eye and Angelica Huston is not attractive at all, never mind anywhere near as beautiful as Carolyn Jones.
The Fugitive - passable, but there have been so many Fugitive-style stories over the years that they could have named this anything.
The Muppet Movie - not an adaptation. The same people did it.
Star Trek - double ugh. Nobody I know likes it. The highest compliment one of my friends could come up with was that it was okay, but not a Star Trek movie. They should have changed the names to protect the innocent.
Naked Gun - again, not a remake. More like a continuation of the series, both made by Zucker and Abrahams.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut - not remake #3. This doesn't count because it was made by the same people while the series was on.
Borat - ack
Wayne's World - not great

You got problems dude

TV shows that had movie adaptations

All of them I named are just that.

Your subjective deconstructionism clouds your judgement and makes you sound like a bitter fool that just is addicted to disagreeing with people.

Your logic for "doesn't count, same people did it" doesn't makes sense at all, TV to film medium is a huge jump no matter if its the original creator or not, and thus is false and really just you making up rules which you did not state in your original comment.

But if you couldn't let go and laugh at Borat or Wayne's World you have some serious issues in the sense of humor department.

Get help there Mr Wanna be Kierkegaard

You should go see Tintin

It's supposed to great fun and (technically was a TV show in the 90s on HBO so that counts) is supposed to be great

Live a little before you succumb to your deconstructionist insanity and kill a bunch of people for looking at you funny or using improper grammar as every human does (even those that are as anal and egotistical as you).

Oh and the new Mission Impossible is supposed to be good too

Check it out!

To review
Your Negative viewpoint on life is banal and sterile. Until you can say positive things in life you will not have opinions or taste that are relevant to other people.

Spill out your haterade it has corrupted your soul.
