Now his original, pre-Ramis script would be REALLY cool to see adapted!
I don't understand, he co-wrote the Hellbent script with the late Tom Davis.
It was a bit confusing how I worded my prev post. I meant the Aykroyd first draft GHOST SMASHERS script is what I would like to see adapted. It would be really cool to see the different imagery, gear, tone, etc. Base it off of the Daveikis concept art-- that would be incredible! THE SEED would also be pretty cool to see adapted in some form-- comic, animation, whatever...
Aykroyd mentioned in a 2012 Esquire interview that he would still like to see HELLBENT produced. This was pre-reboot, so who knows. I don't see him letting a comic adaptation move forward if he's still wanting to use the material in a film.
http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/mo ... -14813380/ESQ: Are you still working with the "Ghostbusters in hell" concept?
DA: Listen, I tell ya, after this movie gets made, and maybe the next one: Man-hell-ttan.
ESQ: Man-hell-ttan.
DA: Man-hell-ttan, and the Ghostbusters in hell, would be so solid, but we gotta get maybe one or two made before that. But, oh, wow... I wrote that with Tom Davis, my writing partner, recently deceased, who wrote Coneheads with me and stuff on Saturday Night Live. There's classic Tom Davis lines and funny stuff in there, really it's probably the most humorous of all the Ghostbusters scripts that have generated in that last little while.
Speaking of HELLBENT, has it been confirmed that Tom Davis co-wrote the 1999 script that's been floating around for ages? The one reviewed on IGN and Proton Charging? Tom's name isn't on that particular script. I've heard that other drafts were written, including one with Ramis, but I've never seen any sort of confirmation, proof, or images. Aykroyd's mention of the "most humorous script" has me really curious about multiple drafts.
Sony and Ghost Corps-- give us a coffee table book on the development of GB3!!!
