I dunno about you, but this news has me really excited.

Anything that gets it going. I just hope no one pulls the "Oh boy, we waited for a sequel to a stalled franchise for years... and it sucks" crap everyone did with Indiana Jones.....

Best. News. Ever.

So the video game finally did it, eh? 'Bout freaking time. :)

:o

Now you have my attention sir.

This was actually debunked.

A sequel would be great... I'm just sad inside about the whole "new generation" thing if they did do it. Part of me would never accept anyone else as the Ghostbusters, even if these guys are all old and fat now.

It's official... we're NEVER EVER EVER EVER get Ghostbusters 3, so there's no use holding out any hope.

And I say, screw it. make a DTV animated film... get Maurice LaMarche, Dave Coulier, Arsenio Hall and Frank Welker. They'd probably all be more than willing to do it.

This is awesome news, now if only Simon Pegg could be one of the new members of the Ghostbusters with Edgar Wright as director i would be happy.

I think this could be an awesome comeback of an 80's franchise since last year's "Rambo" which kicked all kinds of ass.

No, I'm officially signing off my interest in any Ghostbusters 3 project if the intent is to "pass the torch" to a new generation of more easily marketed busters. Seriously, any new faces who starred in future films would just appear in my mind as the image of a brand that sold its identity. It really wouldn't be Ghostbusters to me anymore. It would just be some new characters in the suits to sell action figures.

Thank heavens for the video game in all its awesomeness. That's all I can say. I'm happy with that, especially since it's turning out to be amazing.

And the award for "Most predictable post" goes to... TMB!!!

Hahaha, I lol'd.

Ghostbusters 3 has been promised so many times in the past I've lost count of how many there were. Unless official news is given from the Company, I'm not holding my breath on Ghostbusters 3. Right now though, the Video Game is the next best thing...and GOD am I getting tired of waiting till June lol.

I'm not interested in a "franchise sequel". If that's what we're getting, count me out.

The only problem I see with a "Next generation Ghostbusters" project is that they already did it as a cartoon series. I see no way they couldn't or shouldn't make the film about the old characters teaching aspiring GB's as long as everyone's in there, they thoroughly reference the movie, and keep the same amount of humor throughout. The last thing we need to do is make the same tired jokes like they did with Indiana Jones that were basically "Man, that Harrison Ford is OLD and so isn't the character he played." Yeah, he played that character 20 years ago... they didn't put Ford in a cryogenic container...

But then again, this movie ain't happenin', so whatever the film is supposedly about is a moot point.
