That's Gotta Be Some Cockroach

JA from MNPP here. A wise man once said, "Aim for the flat-top!" No wait... that wasn't it. A wise man once said, "This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions... Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!" Eh close enough. The point is, much like a testy Gozarian I know, you can't keep a prehistoric bitch down. The prehistoric bitch in question, the one bringing on all the cat-on-dog stuff, is a third Ghostbusters movie. It's like the longest episode of Moonlighting ever - will they or won't they? And will Agnes DiPesto ever find love? What about Janine Melnitz, for that matter? Maybe those two should've tossed down the corded phones of their imprisonement and found sweet neurotic love together...?
I am letting this get away from me. The rumor that refuses to die, a third Ghostbusters movie, is alive again. Director Ivan Reitman is making sure his schedule's clear next Summer in order to shoot it, says Deadline. Bill Murray will of course not be involved. Unless he decides to show up on set randomly, in which case they write him in. You never know.
Anyway, I think you'll excuse me for thinking that this time the city will be attacked by the largest ever grain of salt. What do we think? Will this ever happen?

I don't have a clue if it will happen. I know I have no interest if it does.
"Ghostbusters 2" was lame but if they've brought some a younger cast it might work. But isn't it a bit late to reboot this series?!
As long as Bill Murray's out, so am I.
Has Bill Murray ever said why he is opposed to a "3" ?
Jaragon -- i'm pretty sure that if they don't do a number #3 there's going to be a reboot. Hollywood can't let multimillion dollar franchises die.
Like many of my age, Ghostbusters is a protected species and the idea of a lame and unnecessary third film (especially without Peter Venkman) is sad...unfortunately, money usually wins over dignity.
Wouldn't it be just terrific if the memories of our youth could be left unsullied by the money whores. I used to love Tim Burton, but after he eviscerated Planet of the Apes, Alice in Wonderland and finally Dark Shadows, just thinking about watching any of his future films makes me reach for the barf bucket. Shameless.
