Lots of sites reporting this now. 2020 seems too soon to me.

[Goose]

Split this off into its own topic as it does genuinely seem to be happening. 

 

I can't see them getting Bill Murray back.

Charlize Theron as Zuul?

[Swainy]

I just hope that the last film hasn’t left too much of a bitter taste to put many people off.

 

My son will be pleased, he loves Ghostbusters even more than me.

Ghostbusters 2 wasn’t that bad...

[Unofficial Who]

I really enjoyed Answer the Call but this news firmly cements It in the franchise in the same way Highlander 2 was cemented back in the day. “Let’s pretend that never happened.”

I think it's unwatchable, but I've seen Answer the Call three times. Cast is fantastic, it was a mistake to ad lib so much and the ending is dire but they deserved a second shot and a better script given how it's acceptable nowadays to have a success like Crimes of Grindelwald or the Marvel movies and just go "oh, it made no sense but it's building to something so that's ok."

Get Lord and Miller in to help write it. They'd be great with an IP like Ghostbusters

They are terrific. Such a shame about Solo. But Reitman's track record is pretty amazing in itself.

The one with the wimmin in that made some men as furious as they are about a Gillette advert.

What if you didn't care about the woman being leads but just thought it was a shit film? Are we allowed to do that?

an attempt to ensure the film isn't confused with the good ghostbusters films at retail.

 

 

like how Edge of Tomorrow got renamed Live, Die, Repeat. because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Edge_of_Tomorrow

@Goose there was an interview at the end of last year if i rember that Akyroid was hinting that this was coming and that after many years Murry may be on board - im guessing for Sony to greenlite this then murry prob has to be as i cant see them ready to jump back into the franchise so soon after the failure of answer the call - unless they could reunite the old cast somehow ala force awakens

Bring Murray back as a ghost. They may do something interesting with that and he may be up for something different like that too. 

[SpagMasterSwift]

He was Garfield ffs

Well, if he gets confused again and thinks it's Ivan Reitman directing there might be a chance?

"I wouldn't be seen dead in a ghostbusters sequel"

"how about a bag of money, and we make you a ghost?"

"am I busted in the first reel?"

"sure"

"sign me up!"

The non-canon alternate universe Ghostbusters movie. See also Highlander 2 and the Peter Cushing Dr Who movies.

So much so that they complained that is should be made non-canon.

 

And in the end after all that noise and fury...they got their wish.

I still find the unironic use of "canon" to describe genre fiction plot-lines semi-hilarious when I remember how ridiculous it sounds to liken nerds arguing on a BBS to dark ages monks illuminating holy manuscripts. Though maybe that's the point..

I'm actively campaigning for this new advert to be removed from Gilette canon.

Whatever it turns out to be, I'll be spending a good portion of it missing Harold Ramis. I appreciate Egon's dry humour more and more as I get older.
