Director Harold Ramis Says ‘Ghostbusters 3′ Shoots This Summer



The 20 year awaited sequel Ghostbusters 3 looks like it will finally begin shooting this summer for a release in 2011 according to director Harold Ramis.

“Something’s going to happen. Dan [Aykroyd] did write a spec GB3 screenplay a few years ago, but no one was motivated to pursue it. Now, 25 years after the original, there seems to be some willingness to proceed and apparently a substantial public appetite for a sequel. We’ll introduce some new young Ghostbusters, and all the old guys will be in it, too. Think Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future … GB3 is progressing with plans to shoot next summer and release in 2011 … Oh, and I have two one-of-a-kind Ghostbuster yarmulkessent by fans.”

I’m looking forward to this movie, but I can’t say my hopes are extremely high. I mean look at Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It’s hard to make a sequel to something that was a hit 20 years ago, regardless of your fond youthful memories.
