NFT: Annie Potts Confirmed for Ghostbusters 3

BigBlueDownTheShore : 6/18/2019 2:47 pm
Rumors are they are trying to get Rick Moranis to come out of retirement as well.

They have basically the original cast lined up right now, minus Reitman (RIP).
Annie Potts basically confirms Janine is returning for Jason Reitman's new Ghostbusters - ( New Window )
I’m very encouraged by what I’ve heard so far

I like that it’s not a massive budget and that they are passing the baton to a new, young generation. Could still end up sucking but it already seems light years better than the Femalebusters Reboot.
Ghos'bustah's! Whaddaya want!

I happened to catch about an hour of Ghostbusters 2 last night

and it really hit me just how ludicrous that plot was - a river of slime is energized by the negativity in New York City, and can only be stopped by positive vibes. Oh, and some dude jumps out of a painting. But hey, I still enjoyed it. I'm optimistic about this next installment - Moranis has said a new Ghostbusters movie would get him out of retirement, so we'll see.
Didn't realize Carrie Coon was on board for the new one.

I'm a big fan of hers.
you mean Ramis (RIP)  
Greg from LI : 6/18/2019 3:24 pm : link
Ivan Reitman is both alive, and not an actor.

Yeah I mixed that up.
I know a teaser  
BIG FRED 1973 : 6/18/2019 3:26 pm : link
trailer was released a few months ago and it said summer 2020 but i dont think filming has started yet ,it would have been cool if we got it on the 35th anniversary of the first one .Speaking of the first one i always remember that month of June 1984 being awesome for movies ,Temple of Doom came out memorial day weekend then you had Ghostbusters ,Karate Kid,Gremlins,Streets of Fire ,Bachelor Party all whiten that month ,1984 was a great year for movies
Glad they are bringing

The original cast back

I am surprised with all the sequels and reboots no one has ever touched Ferris, the breakfast club or the Goonies. There is an artistic argument to let them be as 80s classics but I would think on their names alone those three would be very profitable as Gen Xrs who still pay to go to the theatre would be all over it.

I know it was campy and not as good as 1, but I still loved it and still think Vigo was a better villian than Gozer
Vigo

The actor's life story is nuts.
Ghostbusters II’s Vigo The Carpathian was a real son of a bitch - ( New Window )

Don't forget Cannonball Run II

Car porn aside for those into '80s sports and super cars, its possibly one of the worst main stream big name cast movies ever made

I remember the lukewarm reviews it got at the time
seriously GB w/o Egon?

I am shocked that Bill Murray has finally agreed to be in the sequel  
Jay on the Island : 6/18/2019 6:01 pm : link
I hope he has a main role and it's not just a small cameo.
The window to this closed a while a go  
fanofthejets : 6/18/2019 8:07 pm : link
Probably even before Ramis died. They're just way too old. All of 'em

Heck they even did that disgraceful Girlbusters which I did my best to ignore.

Two solid movies. Let it be
I refused to see the second one  
Optimus-NY : 6/18/2019 8:27 pm : link
Whenever it was on, I couldn't aow myself to watch more than 5 minutes (I then forgot them). A river of slime....ok....
The definition of the word sequel should be

These would be more like cameos or supporting roles- highly doubt it will heavily feature the old characters/actors. The focus will be on the new characters.

I find most sequels better then the first film, it's the 3rd film where everything goes exceptionally wrong.

Wrath of Khan, Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Road Warrior, Winter Soldier, maybe T2.
