I was reading today that it looks like Ghostbusters 3 is going to actually be made as the original script writers have been employed by Columbia Pictures to put a script together, which they hope will get the original cast back.
Looking at how much the cast have aged, and how Bill Murray is doing more serious stuff and Dan Aykroyd has vanished from the planet (not to mention the other two) as well as looking at how bad the 2nd film was... can they possibly make a decent Ghostbusters 3?
I very much doubt it.
Unless, they take it to a darker level - it's a franchise that could suddenly do well if it got a much darker overhaul (like comparing the 1990 Batman to Batman Begins).
Or will they go more kid-based, like the new Indiana Jones? Remember the gore from the original Raiders of the Lost Ark and Dan Aykroyd getting a blow job from a ghost in the original Ghostbusters? If Raiders can turn into the Crystal Skull kiddie flick, then Ghostbusters is doomed if it decides to follow the trend in Hollywood.
