The Varese Sarabande website is still offering the Ghostbusters score, by Elmer Bernstein, though the site says that out of 3000 produced, less than 500 remain. If you haven’t grabbed one yet, time is running short.

UPDATE – All CDs are completely sold out. Hope you got yours in time.

No more emails about the IGN / Contactmusic.com / some blog that references either IGN or Contactmusic.com news item about GB3. It’s bogus. They have a script. They did think about Ben Stiller starring at one point. Harold Ramis is not sitting at home sewing the new costumes right this second.

It’s pure, internet sensationalism, and it’s not valid.

When Google Earth was released, I wondered how long it would take for someone to make a guide to Ghostbusters. The answer? Uh, about a year and a half? I guess.

Ironic Sans has put together a topological look at all the New York shooting locations for Ghostbusters. Not that it outdoes the highly informative NYGB Tourguide, but it’s still a nice visual look at all those famous NY locations.

E.Y. sent in a link to IGN, that references that awful WENN news item from last year. Stax has read the GB3 script, so his article is a lot more level headed, but he still picked up on the Ben Stiller item, which is so old as not to be credible any more.

UPDATE – Oh good, it’s starting all over.
In the wake of IGN’s post regarding GB3, Contactmusic.com has boiled the entire article down to a couple of dozen words, which comes out as “Aykroyd pens GB3 script, Bill Murray to be replaced by Ben Stiller.” This is turn get’s picked up by a dozen blogs, who are now reporting that Ben Stiller is replacing Bill Murray, which isn’t what the original article said at all.

I hate the internet.

UPDATE – I’d like to initiate Cinescape and the Internet Movie Database into the Too Lazy To Research club. Well done lads. Thanks for helping sort things out.
