Out with the Old, In with the New

After years of speculation and begging, it appears that Ghostbusters 3 is officially going to happen. Yes! Being a big fan of the franchise, I was elated to hear this news, but then my elation quickly deflated, and here's why.

According to Harold Ramis, the movie won't be focused around the original team. "We're going to be the sage mentors. There are going to be young Ghostbusters."

What? You're taking everything that worked so amazingly well in the original (and decently ok in the second) and abandoning it to "pass the torch" to a young, hip, new set of Ghostbusters? For shame.

The original script for the third flick is now being used for a Ghostbusters video game adaptation, and I'd be willing to bet that will be more interesting than the movie, which is depressing.

The new script is being written Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who better exceed any expectations and deliver a masterpiece, or else my years of wanting a new flick will seem like a complete waste. Look for Ghostbusters 3 in 2010.
