Will there ever be a Ghostbusters 3?
Sarah Dobbs
Dan Akroyd seems to think that, finally, another sequel to the brilliant Ghostbusters might be feasible. And apparently, even Bill Murray isn't completely against it. Gosh.

Dan Akroyd has, this week, got us all a bit over-excited by saying that a third Ghostbusters movie -- currently titled Hellbent: Ghostbusters Go To Hell -- might actually be in the works. Speaking to a country music radio station, he said:
"We go to the hell side of Manhattan, downtown, Foley Square. It's all where the cops are -- they are all blue minotaurs. Central Park is this huge peat mine with green demons there, surrounded by black onyx thousand-foot high apartment buildings with classic red devils, very wealthy. We go and visit a Donald Trump-like character who is Mr. Sifler. Luke Sifler. Lu-cifer. So we meet the devil in it. Now, it won't happen as a live-action, because Billy will not come on in the live-action stage anymore for it, but he will voice his part and we're looking to do it as a CGI-animated project. It lives. It lives today. Last year it didn't. This year it lives. With CGI animation and the way these cartoons are done, we can do everything I ever wrote in that script for much less money."
I'm sure we can all agree that Ghostbusters was a great film. Even me, and I wasn't even allowed to watch it as a child. But Ghostbusters 2, eh. Not so great, was it? And as for CGI, well, Toy Story and Finding Nemo are all very well, but there's a gigantic mountain of CGI crap out there. Maybe this one was better off left for dead.
