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.
I know this is not going to make me popular, but a new Ghostbusters movie would be good. I know it’s not likely to happen, I know. Now, if I could choose I’d make it a “loose” remake with young unknown comedians (as much as I like Stiller, Ferrell, Vaughn, Carrell, etc. I don’t think anyone fits the movie’s characters). The only excuse for me to want a nother movie is that I would love to see more ghostbusting with nice SFX (non-CGI, puppetry like before only more and better). Of course Ghostbusters (and to a lesser extent Ghostbusters II) is a classic and the best would be if it’s left alone.
Personally I would like to see it happen if they took the time to do it right.

Hi,
Does nayone have a copy of that ghostbusters 3 script?
Cheers,
Mr. Stay Puft
I would think that if anyone could get their hands on it we would find it somewhere on this site, but it isn’t out there for the public… atleast not that I know of…

Second article on the page.
I personally would like to see a third film on us. That would be, as you young kids call it now, ‘kick ass’?
