Guy's Ghostbusters 3

This summer marks the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters. It just happens to be my favourite movie ever. I have seen it more times than I can count, and although it is not necessarily something to be proud of, I also happen to enjoy the sequel. I'm not saying it's on par with The Godfather or anything, but I like it.

There's been rumours of a third movie being in production, and even as a fan, I know that just getting it done is going to be a tough task. There's the fact that we are now 25 years removed from the sequel, then there's Bill Murray who really doesn't want to be in it, but more importantly, one of the architects of the franchise, Harold Ramis, is now dead. This truly saddened me when it happened, and I would never imagine making a third movie without the him. If the man who wrote half of the first two movies cannot participate, I am not sure that a third Ghostbusters is necessary at all.

Unfortunately, we know that Ghostbusters 3 is indeed in production right now, though we do not know how far along that production is. As a Ghostbusters super fan, I will definitely end up seeing it despite everything I just said. It doesn't matter what kind of reviews it will get, I will be the first in line to see it.

Still, as a Ghostbusters enthusiast, I decided that I would write the script for Ghostbusters 3. Of course, I don't have any rights to the movie, and I haven't been asked by Sony Pictures to write such a script, but I wrote one anyway. You know, just in case they need some ideas. Pass it around. Show it to everyone you know. Maybe it will end up in the right hands?

I present to you:
