I ain't afraid of no ghost


From Iwatchstuff, “Rumors of a third Ghostbusters film have floated around (ghost-like) for years with little actual development, but now Dan Aykroyd has said on a radio station that it will become a reality thanks to the wonders of computer animation:

'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.'

As much as I know this will be terrible, I can't help but be excited to see the Ghostbustes on screen again, even if Venkman's pockmarks will be just a texture map. If nothing else, should Ghostbusters 3 prove successful, it should pave the way for Aykroyd's long-planned rotoscoped Blues Brothers 3000 and claymation Nothing But MORE Trouble.”
