I hope he's not suggesting the threat in the movie will be some kind of manifestation of MAGA.

That is the biggest form of evil nowadays.

I still don't want to see that in a Ghosbusters movie though.

Walter Peck should run for Mayor/President in the sequel.

I’m not surprised they’re working up to another live action movie but always glad to hear an update.

It just occurred to me…the Hellbent story was actually based on Donald Trump. The Luke Sifer character. Alec Baldwin was even envisioned for the role.

Wow. It’s sad to see how real life turned out. It’s not even funny. It’s scary how ironic this is.

Wokebusters.

Aykroyd is a pretty nutty guy as it is and I don't think anyone ponying up the money for these movies is listening to him much anymore. But "Frozen Empire" really gave me "TMNT 3 leaving the theatre in 1993" vibes. They just didn't nail it. A combination of the new cast not being compelling enough mixed with the original cast being given virtually nothing.

The next one needs to have a heavy Bill Murray presence. And Oscar. And it make an arc there, including Dana. Build the movie with the supporting cast around that.

Such a shame, too. I thought Afterlife was incredible and a really good kickoff for a new era.

Silver platter and all. For the next one. And they fumbled it.

I think a modern Ghostbusters movie doesn't almost really NEED a big singular villain. You just need the ghosts. And funny sh** to react to at times. With funny situations for characters that seem real and yes, are funny.

Similar to our recent conversation about the MCU: the formula is so simple, it almost seems harder to **** it up than to get it right. But what do we know?

Bill Murray is way to old be a lead character in GB. All 3 originals are all around the same age yet he looks older.

We had enough of Peter and Dana in GB 1 and 2. If they appear that’s fine. Ray and Winston of course too should still be there but it’s been time for a new cast to take the lead which thankfully has happened.

Whatever the plot and direction is it needs to continue with the new cast or introduce another team in a new location while the Spenglers operate in NY.

There should be one more Spengler family movie where they’re complete and Phoebe as an adult. By the end introduce another branch. Expand it. Ernie Hudson recently said he wanted it to grow and even bring in Winston’s family. That’d be cool.

Ain't it funny that Ghostbusters 3 didn't look like it was going to happen for 30 years, and now we're gonna get 5?

If "MAGA" is the biggest form of evil nowadays then one of two things is happening - either there's nothing to be concerned about or you're a perceptual nutcase.

"MAGA - the biggest form of evil". GTFOH.

Huge, tremendous, unbelievable, record breaking eyeroll. If "MAGA" were the evil you people made it out to be there'd already be mass encampments and executions of liberal-nutjobs. And yet the only people actually being killed by maniacs are people on the right.

So yeah, something is coming. I don't see any Reitman name thrown around so this might be an even more soulless Sony thing. But I'm not sure.

*Wildcat* · 10-06-2026, 12:30 PM

Jason Reitman wanted other people to make GB movies. He never intended himself and/or Gil Kenan to be the only ones although they might be involved with this.

Besides there’s also a treatment that’s been registered for copyright by Gil called “Ghostbusters Windy City”. So there’s also that.

It’s funny how the usual naysayers kept saying Frozen Empire “bombed” and Sony won’t do another live action GB for a long time, yet here we are with 2 being planned.

I’m not surprised at all. Quite literally everyone involved has talked about and flat out said they’re doing another movie. I just thought Night Shift would be the focus for now.

Months ago someone got all sarcastic with me on another board asking if I was interested in buying a bridge.

Anyway I’d love for it to be during Christmas. Something like Krampus would be so cool. There’s also an alternate title of GB: Mini Pufts. Obviously a placeholder but something to do with Stay Puft and maybe the End Credits scene.
