That write up in TMZ didn’t say whether or not if Tommy Lee Jones was suing the Coen Bros. or Paramount, they just said he was suing the “film makers”, well the Coen Bros. are film makers so I assumed he was suing them. When more articles started getting on the web, they all say he is suing Paramount.

This is great news that the Ghostbusters 3 film is moving forward.
Harold Ramis himself sent a brief e-mail to confirm the news of the new Ghostbusters film that just got the greenlight. How did Columbia find the Office writers? Well since the Office writers are currently working on Ramis’s new directed film “Year One”, I’m pretty sure Harold himself reccomended those writers to Columbia for the GB-3 film. Ramis says he is in negotiations with Ivan Reitman to return back to directing the next Ghostbusters film. That’s also great news!!!!
We all know that Bill Murray doesn’t really want to reprise his role in a live action film, but Ramis said in the article he’s trying to talk him into being involved on some level. Maybe give Peter Venkman a small role or something. Ramis also announced that he and the Ghostbusters gang are finished doing voice overs for the new video game. There are definitely good possibilities that Ramis may return as Egon, Bill return as Peter, Dan return as Ray, and Ernie return as Winston for the film too.

wOOt! We’re gonna get the Ghostbusters video game and new movie both at the same time! Sweet!
As for who the new Ghostbusters will be that the original cast will pass the torch along too, I don’t agree with actor choices in that blog.
My choices for the new Ghostbusters: Ben Stiller, Rick Moranis, Sean William Scott, Dwayne Johnson

The summer is over and the first film to kick off the fall season of Hollywood is “Bangkok Dangerous”, a new thriller starring Nicolas Cage. I do want to see this one too but there are other good films this fall I want to see. The summer of blockbuster movies and popcorn movies are over. This is now the season where all the dramas and serious films comes in.
Here is the top ten list of each film I plan on seeing definitely this fall:
1. Bangkok Dangerous
2. 007 – Quantum of Solace
3. Righteous Kill (starring Al Pacino/Robert Deniro)
4. Appaloosa (a new Western cowboy film that stars Ed Harris and he directed it too)
5. Eagle Eye (a thriller stars Shia Labeouf, movie actually looks promising)
6. Rock N’ Rolla (new film by Guy Ritchie)
7. Body of Lies (new Ridley Scott directed film that stars Leo Dicaprio and Russell Crowe)
8. W. (as much as I hate President W. Bush, I do want to see this film, it actually looks real good)
9. The Changeling (Clint Eastwood directed starring Angelina Jolie)
10. Twilight

To my understanding Bill, Harold, Dan, and Ernie are still working on voice overs for the “Ghostbusters” video game. I’m sure we’ll hear from the gang soon on whether or not they will be casted for “Ghostbusters 3”.
I know Bill Murray has constantly denied of playing Peter Venkmen in a live action film again, but I’m sure he had a change of heart about it now that Ghostbusters 3 finally got the greenlight.
I’m sure we’ll hear from the 4 men soon, maybe next week or later this month or in the future. It’s either Columbia already asked them to star in the movie while they were still making the video game and they’re being secretive about it or they haven’t even asked them at all yet.
That Variety article said “they may” return to Ghostbusters 3 so that’s a sign, it’s a possibility Columbia already asked them. It’ll make sense if the 4 comes back to the live action movie they all agreed to do the video game. It’ll seem weird if they are in the video game and not in the movie, that is not good marketing for the video game.
I think Bill, Harold, Dan and Ernie will be in it for sure. It would be wrong if they weren’t in it. The movie would bomb without them. Of course, Dan Aykroyd would agree to be in it ’cause he and Harold has been fighting for a Ghostbusters 3 for many years and they’re dream finally happened! I’m sure Dan Aykroyd would give the “Office” writers lots of good story ideas for the next one as he has done in the first two.

-The return of Slimer
-If Sigourney Weaver returns as Dana and Rick Moranis returns as Louis, Dana’s son Oscar is a full grown young adult now. Peter Venkman spends a lot of time with an adult Oscar becomes close friends. Even if Sigourney doesn’t return, Oscar should still be in the third one. As far as Louis goes, he should be married to Janine the Ghostbusters secretary.
-The four former Ghostbusters: Egon, Ray, Peter and Winston are all retired moved on to their regular day jobs. They hear that new people want to become Ghosbusters, so the original Ghostbusters decide to help and train them once they find out that ghosts still attack the city.
-Walter Peck, a villain from the first Ghostbusters movie makes a return, decides to give the Ghostbusters team more hell.
-No Staypuff the Marshmellow Man return, he should be left out.
-No Dr. Janosz Poha return, the art gallery musuem doctor who kidnaps baby Oscar and brings to Vigo in Ghostbusters II. Dr. Janosz was an annoying character and shouldn’t be in the third one.
-Ghostbusters 3 should have a new ghost villain that is good and creative. Something different. It should be something scary and dark.
-Either Ivan Reitman or Harold Ramis should direct the next installment. Either would make me happy.
-The script for Ghostbusters 3 should be a dark story, not a happy/family one like Ghostbusters II was.
-The Ghostbusters shouldn’t be thrown in jail or in a mental hospital ’cause that’s already been done in the first two films. I don’t think we need that in the third.

We heard the shocking news of Columbia making a third “Ghostbusters” movie. Finally getting the film off the ground.
If Ivan Reitman isn’t down for directing, Columbia should definitely go for Harold Ramis to helm “Ghostbusters 3”.
Ramis has a lot of directing experience. He’s directed the first “Caddyshack” film, the first “National Lampoon’s Vacation” film, he’s also directed “Groundhog Day”, “Analyze This” and ” Analyze That”, “Bedazzled”, “Multiplicity” and “The Ice Harvest”.
I think Harold Ramis himself would do a great job directing a Ghostbusters movie. They should definitely get Ramis to helm the next one. It’ll be a smart move.

Now that Tom Cruise is the leader of film company United Artists, he already done his first job without the help of Paula Wagner. Tom Cruise acquired the rights for United Artists to make a serial killer thriller titled, “The Monster of Florence”. Cruise is set to produce and possibly to star the leading role in.

Tom probably doesn’t care about being banned from Warner Bros. Now that Tom runs a film company on his own, he can star in and make movies his own way through UA all he wants.
