Best Stupid News of the Day - Sony Considering Animated Ghostbusters 3

Ghostbusters 3 is categorized under NNBN – Need Not Bother News.

It all stems from Dan Aykroyd getting asked by brain-dead hit-whores during all press events and his politely giving the same answer. This happens every six months. Bill Murray wants to leave a good thing alone (I imagine if he could go back, he wouldn't have done Ghostbusters 2) and Sony is in no mood to push it through. If they really wanted this to happen, they would.

I say all of that. This latest news-item is out there. So much so, it rings true. Only a room full of executives, nary a lick of good sense in their noggins, would be stupid enough to think this up. Bloody-Disgusting is hearing the studio wants to do Ghostbusters 3... as an animated feature.

They figure Murray would accept a check with a couple of 0s at the end of it if he could show up in a sound-booth for a couple of days. Clothing optional. To be fair, studio reps tell Coming Soon the info is bogus. But they have to deny it either way, don't they?

It's a laughably stupid idea. The folks don't wanna spend their cash on seeing CG-animated versions of their old favorites when the actors still have a pulse. I don't doubt this (lack of) thought process to getting Ghostbusters 3 to the greenlight.

Back when Warner Brothers wrapping their heads around how to make Justice League without pissing off Christopher Nolan and Bryan Singer, the idea of doing it as a motion-capture feature (a la The Polar Express, Beowulf and what other ones Robert Zemeckis pissed away the 2000s makings) was considered.

Chris Cooper Joins The Amazing Spider-Man Sequel

Something is in the air.

Whatever your thoughts on The Amazing Spider-Man, it is what it is and that’s all in the past. To their credit, the filmmakers, Marc Webb leading the pack, seem to acknowledge their Spidey do-over didn't work. They're making a real effort of making the sequel (currently called The Amazing Spider-Man 2; not intended as the actual title FYI) worthwhile.

Lose the "Diet Nolan" atmosphere of last July's re-do and embrace Spider-Man being a fun character at his core. The new suit, unveiled earlier this week, has a wonderfully, bright comic-book vibe and the more you see the new additions to the cast the more you see they mean business.

The latest in that growing line-up is Chris Cooper, Heat Vision reports. Will he be full on Green Goblin or are they planting the seeds for The Amazing Spider-Man 3's, or whatever they call it, baddie?

He doesn't have the up-front "Something is up with this dude" look Willem Dafoe excelled at. Cooper's played troubled well. Hiring him, however, means any inevitable turn to the Goblin will be less manically-laughing psycho to something quieter, more sinister even. It's a cool casting addition though I worry the sequel is making the same mistake as Spider-Man 3. Too many characters and too much going on to keep focus.
