Ghostbusters 3 Coming Summer 2011?

Dead slow news-day, folks, and it’s ironic that a big item (via I09) is about Back to the Future alum Tom Wilson singing his catchy li’l tune “Stop Asking Me the Question!” addressing every BTTF related question he ever gets. I say that because you have to think Harold Ramis feels the same way. That’s practically all he got asked last summer while promoting his comedy Year One.

Such questions will in fact never cease until they finally admit that Ghostbusters 3 is never happening or *Gasp!* the filmmakers go the other route. You know, make the damn movie.

While doing a career over-view interview with Heeb Magazine, the inevitable Ghostbusters 3 question was asked:

"Something’s going to happen. Dan [Aykroyd] did write a spec GB3 screenplay a few years ago, but no one was motivated to pursue it. Now, 25 years after the original, there seems to be some willingness to proceed and apparently a substantial public appetite for a sequel. We’ll introduce some new young Ghostbusters, and all the old guys will be in it, too. Think Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future"

Been there, heard all that before - minus the BTTF reference. What the Hell does that mean? An original Ghostbuster is killed by Libyan terrorists? One of the newbies travels back to 1985 and has to hook his parents up? Anything else, Dr.  Spengler?

"GB3 is progressing with plans to shoot next summer and release in 2011"

With all due respect, I’ll believe that when I see it. Correction: I’ll believe that a third Ghostbusters movie is happening when the trades officially announce that Bill Murray (whose been the lone holdout on doing another one forever and day it seems) has agreed to do it.

Until then this is just more of the same: Talk.
