Keep buying crap guys, and turn it into (comedic) gold.

It is from a ghost's perspective and the ghost sides with the Ghostbusters. Ghost Peter could be a candidate. And on paper, it's re-using an idea from the GB3 drafts.Yeah, I'm skeptical too, but it's fun to think about none the less! And hey, maybe it is the live action that was in the works.
Or there's that live action movie Reitman mentioned in the EMPIRE June 2016 article. In mid-July 2016, it was in the middle of being written. And a little over a year later, Reitman confirmed, during the Ghostbusters 101 panel, a live action was in the works.

From 1989 to 2014 Ghostbusters was a strictly tied up franchise. Nothing could ever be done without the approval of the originators.
Every project, every script has to be approved by Reitman, Aykroyd, Ramis, Murray and Sony simultaneously.... And that was frankly impossible.
With the death of Harold Ramis, the surviving creators decided to loosen up the deal.
They sold the franchise to Sony/Columbia in exchange of money (of course) and the liberty to found Ghost Corps, an internal Sony branch guided by Reitman and Aykroyd with the task of supervisioning future Ghostbusters projects.
So, with THIS iteration of Ghostbusters 3 things are less strict. They can write it, then anyone is free to participate in it without stalling months of work (I'm looking at you, Bill).
Your thoughts?

philmorgan81 wrote:LOL! Believe me I share all the skepticism above. I also share some of that hope. I actually think it's nice to see Dan Aykroyd talking about this specific prospect again. Even though it sounds a lot like older concepts brought up in the past I do find it interesting that Dan Doesn't want to say who is currently writing this script.Great time to be a GB fan is right! I think it could come back, and it'd be a great success--fingers crossed! I do wonder how big Ghostbusting as a business would be--I feel like there might not be enough ghosts to warrant more than one or two Ghostbusting headquarters per New York borough.
I believe after the success of Jumanji Welcome To the Jungle, Kobra Kai, Ash Vs Evil Dead and the most recent Halloween film has shown that revived properties can work very well when executed properly. Ghostbusters really deserves this kind of shot. Jumanji and Kobra Kai even showed how it can work even if a beloved character and actor are no longer with us. With the Absence of Allen Parish and Miagi respectfully. Both were handled very well. I would welcome one last reunion with the surviving Ghostbusters. We have seen just how big the world of Ghostbusters has become between the Fan Films and the world of the IDW comics. I wonder what would Ray, Winston, and Peter be doing today? Would they still be CEOs of their company. Would they be retired. Would the Government have stepped in and pushed them out of their company? Would the comics be Canon? Who Knows?
Sorry I have had a lot of time to speculate and that just leads to trouble LOL! I still hope to see an animated feature and Ecto Force some day. A conventional sequel to the original films with the active participation of th 3 remaining original GBs is just icing on the cake. Again great time to be a Ghostbusters Fan.

I know if it were real it may not be practical, but since it's a movie, I say lay on the nostalgia!

Reitman said that the animated film was deep into production. He had also said that they had shopped Ecto Force to quite a few networks and there were quite a few of them that wanted the show, but Reitman and Ghost Corps decided to pull it and concentrate on the animated film and have it be the new jumping off point before shopping the series out again.

Alphagaia wrote: ↑November 16th, 2018, 12:18 pmThe ecto force being prosponed instead of cancelled was new to me and is great to hear!Yeah, it was last mentioned by Reitman when he appeared on the EMPIRE podcast in July 2017 and by Tom Waltz in June 2018 saying the comic crew helped with some early work on the series. But there is a thread for the series in the Cartoon section.

Pop it into the player for background noise when I work like the movies or RGB.

Someday I will, though!
