A roller-coaster of a production, Ghostbusters III remains one of the most
anticipated sequels in franchise history. With the recent announcement on
Access Hollywood that Dan Aykroyd has left Sony Pictures on the account that
they would not agree to make Ghostbusters III, the future does look bleak,
at least the near future. Dan Aykroyd remains committed to seeing his vision
of another Ghostbusters film come to the silver screen.
Ghostbusters HQ will keep you updated to the date on all the happenings,
news, rumors, and speculation behind the scenes of the third installment.
And as always, the HQ promises to be the definitive source for your latest
news.

The
day the Ghostheads cried
If
this is true it could be a disaster of biblical proportions. The
interesting thing of note is that the EXACT same thing happened
with GB2 just before everyone came around after a dinner at the
Aykroyd Compound about the film, but hey- I still feel like shedding
a tear.

Does GHOSTBUSTERS 3 Have A Ghost Of A Chance?
Hey folks, Harry here... Well, shucks... For all of those hanging
on to hopes about seeing a third GHOSTBUSTERS film... well, it looks
like it is as dead as a dead thing what can't move at all. And from
the looks of it, it is all Bill Murray's fault!!!
SO... At least you now know who to direct angry frustrated thoughts
at. At a press conference for his latest film, Denys Arcand's "Stardom",
here at the TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival], Dan Aykroyd
was asked what was happening with Ghostbusters 3. Bluntly, he said
"it's dead".
He described it as "a combination of not getting the right story,
and the business side of things.". He also stated the primary reason
was that Bill Murray didn't want to be involved, and that they all
pretty much agreed there wouldn't be much point in doing it without
him. He also said that it was a relief when they finally made the
decision and he was happy just working as an actor. To my eye though,
those statements seemed a tad contrived.

 Well, it's not even
worth posting a picture of, but the January/February Issue of Cinescape
does have indeed a short 15 word blurb in it's MovieWire section on
Page 17.
"...Dan Aykroyd has confirmed that a first draft of a Ghostbusters
3 script is finished..."
Well, it's better than nothing, but it's common knowledge. Oh well,
at least it's more print.

Okay,
this is going to be brief, it's 1:30 in the morning and I'm seriously
tired, but Chad over at the GB Central has some great multimedia and his
persepective on the interview, the HQ's is coming. Here's the gst of
my interpretation. There's no way in hell Sony will get rights to the
second Blair Witch- even if they did, it'll be the worst flop since
Batman and Robin. They'll hang their heads in shame for a little while
in the shadow of this studio (cough) Warner probably getting the sequel
to a movie which really honestly doesn't deserve a sequel let alone
merit the possibility plot-wise for a sequel. Sony will juggle ideas
to battle the paranormal sequel- and guess who they'll call. Listen
to his tone of voice ghostheads, he's making this movie. Kevin Smith
remained passionate about Dogma and look- incredible turnouts at the
box office tonight. If Dan remains the same, we'll see our conclusion
to the trilogy- without hesitation. More to come tomorrow, Troy need
sleep. |

 You
are the famous Rob Cleaton of Bustin Makes Me Feel Good, you're attending
the 72nd Shennandoah Apple Blossom Festival
where Dan Aykroyd and wife Donna are the Grand Marshalls. What do
you do? What do you do? You ask about Ghostbusters 3, and record it,
that's what you do.
Rob decided to give the big break to Ghostbusters HQ exclusively
and you can see what Dan Aykroyd said in QuickTime video (only 224K,
now THAT's cool!) All that you've got to do is click
here to see dan.mov
Rob let's us know that this was the only thing that he said about
Ghostbusters 3 during the festivities, but he did perform as Elwood
on a few occasions. Also of note, take a look at Donna's face when
Ghostbusters is mentioned. Both husband and wife's faces light up.
Things are looking up Ghostheads!

 Ghostbusters
HQ has closely been following announcements of Dan Aykroyd's schedule
for the 2000 fiscal year, because it would be safe to assume that there
should be a certain sequel love it or hate it on that list. Well, GBHQ
has learned that indeed scheduling of the 2000 production year is beginning
for Mr. Aykroyd, however public knowledge and/or announcements will
not be made until (gasp) December. Looks like the October date was shot
down eh? |
