Very interesting read.

The flick's director's track record is spotty at best, but I was a big fan of the game(s) and am pretty hyped for this. They're marketing it really well, at least. Oh, I just watched Wahlberg in We Own the Night and I really enjoyed it. It was more Joaquin Phoenix's movie, but Wahlberg was good.

Ok. Here's what we know about Ghostbusters 3:
-Dan Ackroyd wrote a draft that was huge and turned down for being far too expensive to actually make.
-Dan Ackroyd reveals that this project is called Ghostbusters In Hell:
'I wrote a script called Hell Bent, Ghostbusters go to hell basically. The premise is that it's Manhellton. There's Manhattan and ManHELLton. And if you can build an inter-dimensional phase system so that you can go from one dimension to another. We've succeeded doing that and we go to the hell side.
Downtown, Folley Square - where the cops are, they're all blue minotaurs. Central Park is this huge deep mine, green demons there, surrounded by black onyx thousand foot high apartment buildings with classic red devils. Very wealthy. And we go visit a Donald Trump like character - Mr. Siffler. Lou Siffler, Lucifer. So I will say we meet the devil in it.'
- Harold Ramis speculates that Ben Stiller could be cast in the 3rd Ghostbusters.
-Nothing happens for awhile.
- A Ghostbusters video game is announced, forwarding the storyline to the 90s, where the guys are government-sponsered. The developers think about calling the game Ghostbusters 3.
- No one wants to distribute the Ghostbusters video game and the project slips into limbo where it remains.
- A rumor starts that Judd Apatow is going to pick up Ghostbusters with Seth Rogen, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and Romany Malco as the new clan.
-Seth Rogen says this isn't true.
-Dan Ackroyd says this, which re-ignites rumors of a third live action Ghostbusters, while simultaneously sparking more Apatow gossip:

We don't know what's going on anymore. Our best guess is that there is a Ghostbusters 3 script being written by two more guys. Our theory also assumes that Dan Ackroyd doesn't know that Rogen doesn't know anything either, so they are just shooting rumors back and forth.
Someone get them in a room together.

Who you gonna call? Columbia Pictures has apparently heard the fans call for a third film in the horror-comedy franchise GHOSTBUSTERS as they have finally, finally set the long-gestured sequel in motion. Even though a script is being written with the intent of bringing back all four original busters, the article reports that reaching an agreement is still going to be a factor. Read on for the story and watch for updates as soon as a draft of the screenplay is delivered.
Columbia Pictures is getting serious about scaring up a new installment of its blockbuster "Ghostbusters" franchise.
The studio has set "The Office" co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.
Studio would not comment on the development and has been mum on recent rumors that there was interest in making another installment of the franchise.
The scribes just wrote "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. The close proximity between the writers and original Ghostbuster Ramis is evidence that the ghost chasers have sparked to the idea of returning.
"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. Sources said so much gross was pledged to the participants that it was next to impossible for the studio to make any money on a third installment.
No deals will be made with the original cast until the script is ready, but the gross percentage will certainly be an issue. Sony has a standing policy not to allow more than 25% of first dollar gross out the door.
The scribes, who are Emmy- nominated for their work on "The Office," just set up another picture at Columbia, selling their spec script "Bad Teacher" to the studio for Jimmy Miller to produce.

Fuck this show. Shenae Grimes is a sellout and I'm glad to see them writing her bitch ass out of Degrassi. Yeah, I watch Degrassi. Religiously. Make something of it.

From what I understand it costs more and isn't an available option for everything. Besides, I'd rather have vinyl quality and was never big on CDs. I hated pretending I wanted to "collect" them. They were designed for stupid kids and should have remained the cheap alternative to vinyl collector's that iTunes is to "CD collectors."
