Ghostbusters 3 To Start Filming This Winter?


The Los Angeles Times have recently reported that the third installment of the Ghostbusters franchise could start filming as early as this winter!! 

All the old cast members have come on board for more ectoplasmic adventures!

Dan Akroyd was quoted saying, "We could be in production this winter!!"

Akroyd had hoped Reitman would agree to return as director, but also understands that he's a "big-time producer" now. His second choice to helm the project is fellow cast member Harold Ramis, who of course, co-wrote the first two films, and has directed many successful films such as Groundhog Day.

The plot of this new film is of course very top secret, but Akroyd has said that he hopes to introduce a new five-member "new generation" team, with lots of female members. He was quoted saying, "I'd like it to be a sort of passing-of-the-torch movie. Let's visit the old characters briefly, and happily and have them there as a family but let's pass it on to a new generation."

I am definitely psyched for this! I've always considered myself a huge Ghostbusters fan. I mean, I loved the movies, I watched the cartoons, and I collected the toys!! To introduce a new Ghostbusters team for this generation is totally awesome! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what direction they take with this franchise!

Stay tuned for updates!
