Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters III?

Found this on the net today...

ghostbusters-remake.jpg

OK, so this is total, complete speculation at this point, but hey, that's what I'm here for! The hugely exciting news trickling out of DreadCentral.com right now is that "40-Year-Old Virgin" co-stars Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Romany Malco are getting ready to strap on the proton packs and kick it "Ghostbusters" style in a reboot of the franchise.

Not only that, but OG 'busters Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson would return for the movie to hand over the Ecto-1 keys to the new boys.

Keep in mind that even the site reporting the story categorizes this as a rumor for the time being, but claims that "this information comes from a very reliable source who cannot, at this point, be named." So only time will tell, but I for one would be 100% down for a new generation of "Ghostbusters" movies as long as the movie was done correctly. And by correctly I mean tongue-in-cheek, filled with great CGI and littered with in-jokes for loyal fans of the series.

I think the Judd Apatow crew is definitely up for the challenge - the question is, are they just too busy to make this movie a reality?

There are some things that just should not be tampered with.

Remakes, or torch passing is risky. Case in point-Pink Panther. and the upcoming remake of Footloose with Zac Efron in Kevin Bacon's place.

I won't see it. Can you imagine trying to remake Wizard of Oz, or Gone with the Wind?

Yes, I have a friend that is a film producer. He told me that. I just can't see Zac Efron in the role, however I did see him and he has been hitting the gym HARD. He had some guns on him.

I'm not always big on remakes and sequels, but done right, I think a Ghostbusters sequel would rock. It was purposely cheesy enough that I think it would work.

Seems soon to do a remake, but it HAS been over 20 years. I'm so old cry.gif
