Sony Moving Forward with New Ghostbusters!

September 5, 2008

Columbia Pictures has set "The Office" co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a "Ghostbusters" film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

Eisenberg and Stupnitsky just wrote The Year One, a comedy that was directed by Ramis. Ramis with Aykroyd wrote the first two installments of the films. Ivan Reitman directed both the 1984 original and the sequel that was released in 1989.

Ghostbusters was Columbia's highest grossing film ever, until it was beaten by Men in Black and then Spider-Man. An attempt to make a third installment of the franchise was stymied in the dealmaking stage.

No deals will be made with the original cast until the script is ready.

I can already guess some of the dialogue:
"It's the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man!"
"He's Huge!
"That's what she said!"

Wait, I thought the point of the video game was that it was, in fact, able to bring in Bill Murray, the cataclyst for this whole project.

Still, love the writers, and if it can bring in all four, then...sure, why not.

But no Murray, no dice.

No!!! I thought this was in Development Hell where it belonged! Why the hell do they have to bring back (and most of the time ruin) ALL the old franchises? Jesus, pretty soon we will see "continuations" or remakes of Caddyshack, Meatballs, House Party, Candyman, and Friday the 13th (oh wait... that one IS being made already...)

I think it would be cool if Ray still owns the GH franchise. Something happens and he has to recruit the other Ghostbusters. Bring back Zull! They never said that Zull died, just say it was trapped in some dimension and found its way back to ours for revenge.
