So does the spin up cyclotron remind anyone else of Real Ghostbusters?

That's not to say these things couldn't be easily altered with computer effects, but when the movie was made, they were setting it in the year it was supposed to come out.

Perhaps Afterlife will come up, eh?You can guarantee it’ll come up. They’ll be pushing Venom 2, Morbius, Ghostbusters Afterlife & a certain wall crawler.

My guess is as they're getting up there in age, maybe they wanted to pass the franchise onto someone who could properly handle it. Maybe they felt with Jason in charge they could retire without regret's?They sold it off years ago. Ghost Corp. was founded in 2015 and ATC was the first movie they were involved with. Ivan and Dan probably lost their fire for the franchise after Raimis' passing. Murray probably saw the paycheck and ran with it. Again, all speculation on the WHY and honestly that's none of our business.

It's "for the best" when you consider we have Ghost Corp. now, but there is something to be said for safeguarding an IP from studio executives that don't understand or care about the IP, and just view it as a means to make money. Back to the Future is safeguarded in this way, and I'm grateful for it. Murray may have been the reason Ghostbusters 3 wasn't made years ago, but maybe he wasn't being a jerk, and really thought the scripts were terrible.timeware wrote: ↑August 4th, 2021, 7:48 am Why would they give up their rights?

Let's face it though, a LOT of Dan's ideas are insane without Raimis around to kinda reel them in and would never be made any way. Personally, I feel this is for the best.

I think it's a blessing in disguise they never happened given what we know about them. For example I shudder to think what 'Hellbent' could've been like with a truckload of early 2000's CGI.

starang11 wrote: ↑August 4th, 2021, 10:39 amI go back and forth on this. Personally? I love the Hellbent idea. And yes, Aykroyd and Ramis complemented each other wonderfully. Kinda like John & Paul. BUT, and I’ve said this fairly recently, you cannot judge what GB3 would’ve been by the pages we’ve seen. If you read the scripts for GB1 & GB2…you’ll understand why.deadderek wrote: ↑August 4th, 2021, 10:03 am As much as I always wanted a Ghostbusters 3, none of the information we've ever gotten (including leaks) lead me to believe the film would have been very good.Couldn't agree more, and this is coming from someone who lapped up every fragment of a rumor that came out over the past 25 years or so.

Peter went out Los Angeles instead of becoming a professor, Ray is more incompetent and child like than his live action counter part and got fired from a university job and had to make money selling used cars and attending paranormal conventions. And Egon managed a new team of 20 somethings in the late 90s. Even if the paranormal activity stop again in say 2000 he'd still be able to call upon those guys if he needed help.True. I suppose in the RGB universe, the studio made Afterlife taking inspiration from the time Egon "died" and became a ghost, albeit temporarily.

I wouldnt mind giving “Inc” a read..We never really heard any details on it…all we know it was passed to Etan Coen to rewrite into “alive again”
