			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/GB_ad_DS.jpg" rel="lightbox[1275]"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1276" title="Ghostbusters Monthly Ad" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/GB_ad_DS-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>A little more than a year ago, I wrote about how I felt that a <a title="A New Ghostbusters Cartoon – Coming Soon?" href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/a-new-ghostbusters-cartoon-coming-soon/">new <em>Ghostbusters</em> animated series was possible</a> with the upcoming motion picture event that is <em>Ghostbusters 3</em>.  I&#8217;m hoping that Bill Murray actually reads the script and says he&#8217;ll do the film.  Not only will it satisfy my want for another film in the series, but it&#8217;ll also give a lot of people work this year.</p>
<p>I read something else that made me excited today, though, and that is the announcement of the monthly publication of a <em>Ghostbusters</em> comic book.  This is something that I have been hoping for, and the reason that I bought all of the <em>Ghostbusters</em> comics that have been released within the last few years.  IDW has finally decided to make it a monthly series, though, and it seems that fan favorite artist Dapper Dan is going to have a hand in it, if not be the series&#8217; artist for a few issues.  I really like his style.  It evokes thoughts of what an animated series would look like if it were based on his artistic style.  I have a feeling that it would be just different enough from <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em> to make it a new, and not derivative, series that is distinct and original.</p>
<p><span id="more-1275"></span>Of course I would love to see most of the writers from <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em> return to the writer&#8217;s room on a new series.  However, I also think Paul Dini would be an awesome addition to the writing team, as he has proven time and again with his work on <em>Batman: The Animated Series</em> among others.  Bruce Timm also went on to work on many of the DC Animated Universe projects, but would be great to have back on the team (he created some character designs for <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em>).  In fact, there were many creators from RGB that went on to work on <em>Batman: TAS</em>.</p>
<p>Many of them will likely be busy working on future DC Animated Universe films as well as <em>Green Lantern: The Animated Series</em>, but that also brings up another idea: direct-to-video animated movies.  Why not create a feature length animated <em>Ghostbusters</em> film to either pilot a new animated television series, or to kick off a series of animated features?  Both Marvel and DC are releasing DTV features to varying degrees of success, and I think that this franchise could sustain something like that.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?  Are you excited for the upcoming monthly <em>Ghostbusters</em> comics from IDW?  Would you like to see a new animated series?  Would you like a series of animated features released direct to video?  If they decided to create a new series, what would you want it to be like?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gb3.jpg" rel="lightbox[1236]"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1237" title="Ghostbusters 3" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gb3-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>More exciting news on the <em>Ghostbusters 3</em> development.  Ivan Reitman has confirmed that the screenplay is complete for the third <em>Ghostbusters</em> film, which he believes could be the best of the three.  While I don&#8217;t doubt that it could be, I think it&#8217;s going to be a very tough mark to reach.  Depending on what point of view you take, it could be the best in terms of effects, story, cinematography or laughs.  There are any number of variables that it could be the best at.</p>
<p>However, I&#8217;ve written in the past about <a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/ghostbusters-3-thoughts-and-feelings-on-continuing-the-series/" target="_blank"><em>Ghostbusters 3</em>: Thoughts and Feelings on Continuing the Series</a>, and I highly recommend you read it as it has garnered a lot of positive response from fans in some <em>Ghostbusters</em> fan forums.  It&#8217;s going to be tough to even live up to our expectations, let alone top all of them.  There will be those of us that find the new film can only sit in the shadow of the original.  There will also be many that feel the new one far overshadows the old (and most of those sentiments will come from younger fans that didn&#8217;t grow up with the original).</p>
<p>I admire the confidence, though, and can&#8217;t wait to see if it does hold up to things that I have heard about it.</p>
<p><strong>CS: The whole Sigourney Weaver thing about her son taking over and Bill Murray coming back as a ghost&#8230;<br />
Reitman:</strong> Oh, no, yeah&#8230; I mean, Sigourney Weaver has a role in this  movie. All the original characters have parts. As well as a whole bunch  of new characters&#8230; it&#8217;s got a really good story, this one. Maybe the  best of the whole series. I hope we get to do it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/rgb.jpg" rel="lightbox[1013]"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1014" title="The Real Ghostbusters" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/rgb-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I&#8217;ve been re-watching my complete collection DVD set of <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em> in the last few days.  It looks brilliant on my HDTV.  I&#8217;m hoping for a release of the late nineties series <em>Extreme Ghostbusters</em> on DVD sometime soon.  It was one cartoon that didn&#8217;t get a fair shake, potentially because of the much darker subject matter of the series.  <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em> rarely delved as deeply into dark topics.  When it did, the good guys weren&#8217;t the ones doing it.  <em>Extreme Ghostbusters</em> is fundamentally flawed in that regard, but in favor of a complete collection, I&#8217;d love to have it.  Especially because the two parter <em>Back in the Saddle</em> brings all of the original Ghostbusters back for an adventure.  Which leads me to the topic of this article.</p>
<p><span id="more-1013"></span>Could a new <em>Ghostbusters</em> cartoon be released sometime in the next few years?  It&#8217;s possible.  The third movie is currently being re-written.  They&#8217;re on the second draft, I believe.  It&#8217;s likely that they&#8217;ll be shooting it sometime this fall, from what I&#8217;m hearing.  The news about it is coming out seemingly every few weeks or so, when someone is able to ask one of the writers or creative team members about it all.</p>
<p>The movies being released lately, either based on properties from the 80s, or otherwise, have brought about multiple new cartoons in some cases.  The <em>Transformers</em> films have brought about both <em>Transformers Animated</em> and the upcoming <em>Transformers: Prime</em>.  <em>G.I. Joe</em> recently had a series called <em>Sigma 6</em> as well as one called <em>Resolute</em>.  There&#8217;s a new G.I. Joe series in the works to join the upcoming <em>Transformers: Prime</em> on <em>The Hub</em> (formerly Discovery Kids).</p>
<p>With these series getting new life with new styles and formats, it&#8217;s possible that <em>Ghostbusters</em> could make the return to Saturday Mornings.  <em>Ghostbusters 3</em> is going to bring more awareness to the franchise.  <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em> has started to bring awareness to higher levels.  And that&#8217;s not to mention the logo, which is one of the most recognizable logos in the world.</p>
<p>What would a new <em>Ghostbusters</em> cartoon look like?  I suppose that depends on what <em>Ghostbusters 3</em> looks like.  Personally, I would like to see a cartoon that is similar in style to <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em>.  While <em>Extreme Ghostbusters</em> did a fair job of that, it missed the boat on a number of occasions, being too dark for younger children.  I&#8217;d love to have the writing style and format of the series return, with the new characters and the setting being around the time of the new film.  That way, they can do what RGB did, and tell new stories in that world, without stepping on the stories that potential new films in the series could bring.</p>
<p>What would you like to see in a potential new <em>Ghostbusters</em> cartoon?  A <em>Real Ghostbusters</em> sequel, of sorts?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ghostbusters2slime.jpg" rel="lightbox[950]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-951" title="Ghostbusters 2 Slime" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ghostbusters2slime-300x214.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="128" /></a>Since I last wrote about Ghostbusters 3, there has been some major progress.  First is that Ivan Reitman is going to return to the directors chair.  This is a positive, in my book, even though his latest string of films has been somewhat of a string of horrible movies.  A franchise like Ghostbusters is something that he won&#8217;t mess up.  It&#8217;s not something that Sony would risk damaging, nor would anyone that wants to make it.  Everyone is invested in making it right, and not forcing things just for the sake of making it.  So, putting Reitman back in that position is the right move for the franchise.  That way, the whole gang is back together for the last hurrah from the original team, and a young director isn&#8217;t going out of his way to prove himself to a fandom that has grown up.</p>
<p>The second piece of great information is that there is a complete first draft of the script for Ghostbusters 3.  They&#8217;re now working on the second draft, and things are falling into place very well, according to Reitman.  This is very promising, and I&#8217;m really hoping that it keeps moving forward.  Seems pretty steady now, though.  Sigourney Weaver said on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon that she was excited to read the script, and thinks it&#8217;ll be great fun!</p>
<p>The third big news is that there is some information that they&#8217;ll be filming Ghostbusters 3 in 3-D!  The fact that the rumor even exists means that they&#8217;re definitely looking into it in a more serious fashion than just a &#8220;maybe.&#8221;  That&#8217;s exciting.   But what about the 3-D idea?  Instead of talking about the advantages  or disadvantages of everything coming in 3-D, what about the  implications of a GHOSTBUSTERS film in 3-D? I can already see Slimer  coming straight at the viewer and sliming the screen. The proton streams  also would come at the screen, and likely the trap.  These thoughts don’t really excite me. I’d rather they make the film  as written, no 3-D gags that don’t translate to 2-D, and then make it  artificially 3-D if they still feel it has value.  This news came by way of <a title="MarketSaw" href="http://marketsaw.blogspot.com/2010/01/exclusive-ghostbusters-going-3d.html" target="_blank">MarketSaw</a>: &#8220;Yes &#8211; I have word from one of my top  sources that a friend of his at a certain well known effects  house (I can&#8217;t say who it is, but  their initials are ILM) said that GHOSTBUSTERS 3 is proceeding <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i45e69997d0a6aeab2cf34dc4949dc0ac" target="_blank">as  planned</a> &#8211; but &#8211; with the added  benefit of stereoscopic 3D!&#8221;</p>
<p>All in all, very exciting news from the land of Ghostbusters</p>

Hopefully she&#8217;ll appear, but we&#8217;ll have to wait and see what happens.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong style="outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Mike Moody: The rumor is you might revisit one of your famous comedy roles, Dana Barrett, in another <span style="outline-width: 0px; font-style: italic; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Ghostbusters</span> sequel. Where do you think Dana and Peter Venkman&#8217;s relationship will be when the new movie picks up?</strong></p>
<p><span style="outline-width: 0px; font-weight: bold; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Sigourney Weaver: </span>Probably non-existent.</p>
<p><strong style="outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Really?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m pretty sure. I think they&#8217;re still writing it, but (laughs) I&#8217;d be very surprised &#8230; You never know. I just did a benefit with Bill (Murray), and we love working together, but I think they&#8217;re trying to create something new completely with the Ghostbusters, although I know Bill is in it. I hope my little son Oscar (fromÂ <span style="outline-width: 0px; font-style: italic; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Ghostbusters II</span>) is a Ghostbuster!</p>
<p><strong style="outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">So, you won&#8217;t be appearing in the movie?</strong></p>
<p>No, I don&#8217;t expect to have anything to do with it, although I wish them well.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ghostbusters-1984-001.jpg" rel="lightbox[764]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-768" title="The Ghostbusters in 1984" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ghostbusters-1984-001-300x180.jpg" alt="The Ghostbusters in 1984" height="180" width="300"></a>I&#8217;ve read some really interesting things just now about both <em>Ghostbusters 3</em> and <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em>.&nbsp;I wanted to bring some things to light that might have been missed, which I feel are worth repeating, as well as highlighting:</p>
<blockquote><p>Even [Bill] Murray returned &#8211; not with a hatful of diva demands, but wanting an assurance that Winston Zeddemore, the underwritten black character from the movies, would be elevated to full status.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span id="more-764"></span>This is really interesting. I suppose in my mind, Winston was always a full status Ghostbuster. After joining the team just after the halfway mark of the original film, he&#8217;s there for the entire adventure of the second, and even has his own episodes in <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em>. But I can also see his point, as Winston is the one character that doesn&#8217;t really appear on the cover of the Blu-ray edition of <em>Ghostbusters</em>, and (Video Game SPOILER WARNING) he isn&#8217;t included in the commercial within the opening cinematic, which I felt was a glaring omission.</p>
<p>Way to go, Mr. Murray! I commend you on that request. It shouldn&#8217;t have been necessary, but the gesture is noted and notable!</p>
<p>Now, onto the <em>Ghostbusters 3</em> rumor that Aykroyd let slip, as well as my thoughts on what he could have meant.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;There&#8217;ll be a whole new generation that has to be trained and a leader that you&#8217;ll all love when you meet her,&#8221; says Aykroyd. &#8220;There&#8217;ll be lots of cadets, boys and girls who&#8217;ll be learning how to use the neuron splitter and the inter-planet interceptor &#8211; new tools to enable them to slip from dimension to dimension.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Well&#8230; there&#8217;s an interesting statement. We&#8217;ve spoken about <a title="Aykroyd and Ramis reveal Ghostbusters 3 Plans: Cadets and Tools" href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/aykroyd-and-ramis-reveal-ghostbusters-3-plans-cadets-and-tools/">the new Ghostbusting tools before</a>, but what he just slipped was the gender of the new leader.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dushku-milano.jpg" rel="lightbox[764]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-771 alignright" title="Eliza Dushku and Alyssa Milano" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dushku-milano-300x225.jpg" alt="Eliza Dushku and Alyssa Milano" height="225" width="300"></a></p>
<p>Rumors place Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku as potential future Ghostbusters.&nbsp; However, what Dan said was that we&#8217;ll all love her when we meet her.&nbsp; That could mean many things, but I&#8217;ve come down to two theories that I think are possibilities.</p>
<p>Either it&#8217;s as simple as the attitude of the leader, and the character is really cool and we&#8217;ll love the leader because of how well written she is (if she, in fact, is a girl).</p>
<p>Or it is none other than Dana Barrett, led by Sigourney Weaver herself. That&#8217;d be quite the twist, would it not? She&#8217;d then be the former skeptical musician now at the heart of the business. Not only that, but Sigourney&#8217;s presence in that role would be something that I think would be easy to love, and she seems like she&#8217;d be a natural leader. The way that she carries herself makes her a natural fit in a leadership role.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think it likely, but I do think it&#8217;s a really interesting <em>What if?</em></p>
<p>This morning, via twitter, I found out about a couple of the female Ghostbuster cadets that appear in the first draft of <em>Ghostbusters 3</em>&#8216;s screenplay.</p>
<blockquote><p>Carla, the youngest. Beautiful, Hispanic college grad. And Moira. Fit, clean, compact gymnastic champ and science undergrad. Bit tightass.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The source of the screenplay is unknown. I have no idea how they were able to acquire this information. However, it does fit the two actresses that are rumored for the roles. Carla would likely be played by Alyssa Milano, and Moira by Eliza Dushku.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ghostbusters-video-game-press-release-02.jpg" rel="lightbox[702]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-704" title="Ghostbusters The Video Game" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ghostbusters-video-game-press-release-02-300x187.jpg" alt="Ghostbusters The Video Game" height="187" width="300"></a>Sony has done it again, and made me happy that I have never owned a Playstation.  In short, just so that everything is clear:</p>
<p><strong>In NTSC regions such as the <em>United States</em>, Atari is handling distribution of the game, and it WILL be released on time on ALL consoles on June 16th.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In PAL regions such as the <em>United Kingdom</em>, Sony is handling distribution of the game and ONLY releasing it on <em>PS3, PS2</em> and <em>PSP</em> on June 19th, and Wii, DS and 360 in Fall 2009.</strong></p>
<p>Sony has a history of bad moves like this.<span id="more-702"></span>After they announced the Extremely high price models of the PS3 of $500 and $600, their head Ken Kutaragi  had this to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is the PS3 price. Expensive, cheap &#8212; we don&#8217;t want you to think of it in terms of game machines. Because the PS3 is like nothing else.</p>
<p>For instance, is it not nonsense to compare the charge for dinner at the company cafeteria with dinner at a fine restaurant? It&#8217;s a question of what you can do with that game machine. If you can have an amazing experience, we believe price is not a problem.</p>
<p>When we announced the PlayStation price, it was said to be expensive&#8230; same for the PlayStation 2. However, when released, both had sales that were unthinkable for previous game machines. This is because both offered experiences that could not be had on previous game machines.</p>
<p>With the PS3, you can have next generation game experiences that could previously not be experienced &#8212; things like next generation graphics and various services via the network. And, as with the PS and PS2, we believe people who like games will, without question, purchase it.&#8221; (1)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Read between the lines, folks. What he is actually saying is this.  &#8220;We want you to think of the PS3 how we want you to think about the PS3.  Not as a game machine, but something more than that.  And we offer experiences that can not be found on previous game machines.  And we believe that our fans are idiots that are willing to pay whatever price we set for a gaming system.&#8221;</p>
<p>We aren&#8217;t stupid, Sony, and no system of yours has ever been groundbreaking, period.  Every big groundbreaking event in gaming in the last thirty years can be traced to one company alone: <em>Nintendo</em>.  I defy anyone to prove me wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Ghostbusters Delay</strong></p>
<p>Sony is up to their usual tricks again, however, only in Europe.  Thankfully only in Europe.  Here&#8217;s the quote from the horse&#8217;s mouth:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;With our colleagues at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe publishing <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em>, we are thrilled by the dynamic new Ghostbusters game. We think it will have tremendous appeal to gamers and we can&#8217;t think of a better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this beloved franchise.&#8217; said Mark Caplan, Vice President of Licensing-Interactive for Sony Pictures Consumer Products. &#8216;With this superb game launching alongside the Blu-ray release, we will reach existing fans and the next generation, bringing them all into the irresistible Ghostbusters universe.&#8217; (2)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s look at that quote again with what he is <em>really</em> saying.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;&#8230;We think it will have tremendous appeal to [<em>Sony</em>] gamers and we can&#8217;t think of a better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this beloved franchise [than to release the game only to fans that have one of <em>our</em> consoles].&#8217; said Mark Caplan, Vice President of Licensing-Interactive for Sony Pictures Consumer Products. &#8216;With this superb game launching [on PS2, PS3 and PSP] alongside the Blu-ray release, we will reach existing fans [that are among the 10 million (3) fans that purchased a PlayStation 3 in PAL regions] and the next generation, bringing them all [to stores to buy our overpriced hardware] into the irresistible [heh! see what I did there?] Ghostbusters universe.&#8217;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s a dang good thing that <em>Atari</em> has the distribution license here in the United States.  Sony, I love that your Motion Pictures division is creating <em>Ghostbusters 3</em>, but why have you not even listened to the life-blood of the series: Dan Aykroyd?  He prefers the <em>Wii</em> version of the game, as he told Newsweek:</p>
<blockquote><p>Honestly, I love the way we look in the Wii platform, because it resembles the animation that was done in &#8220;The Incredibles.&#8221; Anybody who looks like an Incredible is automatically a superhero. And I was so pleased that they shaved off at least 60 pounds from my current bulk. The boys look good. We resemble the actors who were in the first movie. You wouldn&#8217;t want us out there looking as we do today. But in the third movie we will! There, we&#8217;ll have the benefit of passing the torch to a new generation. Much prettier and much better looking, like Alyssa Milano. (4)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Why are you ignoring the fact that you have lost this generation of gamers?  Why are you being ignorant of your legion of fans that doesn&#8217;t have a <em>Sony</em> console, or even <em>want</em> one.  I think that while it&#8217;s being looked at as great marketing for Sony&#8217;s consoles, it&#8217;s really not being fair to the <em>Ghostbusters</em> franchise, as it is limiting the reach that the game will have for a while, and the franchise is still unproven as far as making a come back.  It&#8217;s a good thing it&#8217;s releasing on Wii, 360 and DS over here at the same time as the Sony versions of the game.  It&#8217;s Sony&#8217;s choices like this that remind me why I don&#8217;t purchase their consoles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-698" href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/who-should-direct-ghostbusters-3/be-kind-rewind-ghostbusters/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-698" title="Be Kind Rewind - Ghostbusters" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/be-kind-rewind-ghostbusters-300x225.jpg" alt="Be Kind Rewind - Ghostbusters" height="225" width="300"></a>A couple of websites have chimed in with their thoughts on different directors taking on Ghostbusters 3. Now that it is actively being written, and Sony has put it on their 2011 film slate, this is an obvious question, and I thought I would add my thoughts to the mix.  I&#8217;m going to comment on the choices that they list for potential directors below:</p>
<p><span id="more-697"></span><strong>No. 1 &#8211; JUDD APATOW</strong><br />I don&#8217;t know much about Judd Apatow&#8217;s style, having seen neither of his films (or been interested in either of them).  In all honesty there is only one project of his that I have enjoyed: <em>Freaks and Geeks</em>.  That will lead me to my own addition to the list at No. 9. Apatow, however, doesn&#8217;t seem like he&#8217;d be a very good fit.. seeing as his prior films seem to be comedies based on sex related topics, and I don&#8217;t want to see Ghostbusters head in that direction at all, which it could with co-ed cadets joining the team.<br /><strong><br />No. 2 &#8211; SAM RAIMI</strong><br />I&#8217;d rather Raimi stay focused on Spider-Man, honestly. Adding him to this project would mean his focus is split, and a split-focused director is the last thing I want to see on a film that means so much to me.</p>
<p><strong>No. 3 &#8211; JASON REITMAN</strong><br />I had to look this guy up.  It&#8217;s interesting that he was actually in <em>Ghostbusters II</em>. He played &#8220;Brownstone Boy #2&#8243; at the age of 12.  He&#8217;s also directed episodes of <em>The Office</em> which were very good.  However, I did not like <em>Juno</em>.  At all.  It wasn&#8217;t funny to me, or clever, and I hope that is only because of Diablo Cody&#8217;s writing that it was so bad, and not the hand of Jason Reitman.Â  Being the son of original <em>Ghostbusters</em> director Ivan Reitman doesn&#8217;t hurt either, but he&#8217;s already commented on the third film, saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>Do you know how many times I get asked if I want to do Ghostbusters 3? Looking at my career so far, I mean if you just looked at my two films, I would make the most boring Ghostbusters movie. It would just be people talking about ghosts, there wouldn&#8217;t be any ghost-busting in it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So that&#8217;s that.. I have nothing to worry about, there.</p>
<p><strong>No. 4 &#8211; MICHEL GONDRY</strong><br />I love his work on <em>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind</em>.  I think he should continue to direct the scripts of Charlie Kaufman, if he can.  <em>Be Kind Rewind</em> was a film that I was greatly looking forward to.  I loved the Ghostbusters scenes in that movie, but it kind of lost me toward the end.  It took a few viewings for me to really get into the purpose of the film. That being said&#8230;. I&#8217;m really not interested in a Michel Gondry directed <em>Ghostbusters</em> film.  I may enjoy his films, but I don&#8217;t think him a good fit for the series. In listening to the commentary on <em>Eternal Sunshine</em> and seeing a behind the scenes video on <em>Be Kind Rewind</em>, I&#8217;m not a big fan of his personal beliefs, which I think are important when it comes to making a good <em>Ghostbusters</em> film without being cynical toward the subject matter.  I&#8217;m not sure what Ivan Reitman&#8217;s beliefs are, but Dan Aykroyd was a major proponent, and he is a believer.</p>
<p><strong>No. 5 &#8211; DAVID GORDON GREEN</strong><br />I know nothing about him, and am interested in none of his projects.  That&#8217;s enough for me to not really be interested in him as a director&#8230; and the fact that he directed <em>Pineapple Express</em>, which I had absolutely no desire to see, doesn&#8217;t do much for his cause.</p>
<p><strong>No. 6 &#8211; IVAN REITMAN</strong><br />This is one director that I know would get it right. He did the first two, after all.  No problem with him directing the third.  Here&#8217;s an idea: The Ghostbusters are acting as mentors to new recruits in the film; why not have a co-director that Reitman mentors, who then goes on to direct <em>Ghostbusters 4</em>?  I&#8217;ll volunteer!</p>
<p><strong>No. 7 &#8211; JODY HILL</strong><br />Who?Â  No thanks!</p>
<p><strong>No. 8 &#8211; HAROLD RAMIS</strong><br />Here is an interesting idea.  Even though I&#8217;ve heard he&#8217;s in the same place belief-wise as Gondry, I&#8217;d have few qualms about him directing the film.  He&#8217;s directed some great stuff in the past, and he&#8217;d be respectful of the Aykroyd style.</p>
<p><strong>No. 9 &#8211; PAUL FEIG</strong><br />As I mentioned above, under Judd Apatow, I would make this addition.  Paul Feig is a director that was also the creator of the short lived, but brilliant show <em>Freaks and Geeks</em>.  He&#8217;s directed many of the funniest episodes of such shows as <em>The Office</em> and  <em>Arrested Development</em>.  His comedy style seems like it&#8217;d be a good fit for a new Ghostbusters, as he is able to capture the feel of the 80s so well in <em>Freaks and Geeks</em>, which wouldn&#8217;t necessarily matter for a modern day GB film, but it would at least keep the overall feel of the series thus far intact.  I wouldn&#8217;t mind seeing his name attached to the helm.</p>
<p><strong>No. 10 &#8211; MYSELF</strong><br />I&#8217;d be a little bit wary of me, as I&#8217;ve never directed a film before, much less anything else.  However, that&#8217;s not to say that I couldn&#8217;t if given the chance.  I have a visionary and exceedingly creative mind, and I know the franchise like the back of my hand.  I&#8217;ve seen the first couple of films more times than I care to admit, and have been watching the cartoon more than anyone should.  I also have a good feel as to what problems that fans of the original are going to have with the new film, regardless of who directs it.  I gave voice to those problems in this article: <a title="Permanent Link to Ghostbusters 3: Thoughts and Feelings on Continuing the Series" rel="bookmark" href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/ghostbusters-3-thoughts-and-feelings-on-continuing-the-series/">Ghostbusters 3: Thoughts and Feelings on Continuing the Series</a>.  That being said, I&#8217;d make myself available to do it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-669" href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/ghostbusters-the-video-game-opening-cinematic/ghostbusters_videogame_sm/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-669" title="Ghostbusters The Video Game" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ghostbusters_videogame_sm-239x300.jpg" alt="Ghostbusters The Video Game" height="300" width="239"></a>Wow!  I know what I am doing on June 16th!  Get ready for the return of the <em>Ghostbusters</em> in the video game that I have waited 25 years to play.  Seriously, from the time I was a kid, at the arcade, playing the <a title="The Real Ghostbustes Arcade Game" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters_video_games#The_Real_Ghostbusters_arcade_game" target="_blank"><em>Ghostbusters</em> arcade game</a>, I have wanted a <em>Ghostbusters</em> game just like this.</p>
<p>In my head I imagined a game where you would take on a single ghost at a time, like when the busters go after Slimer in the first film.  Or maybe two, like in <em>Ghostbusters II</em>.  But every video game had multiples of ghosts attacking from all sides.  Not only that, but the ghosts could do a lot of damage to you.  Unlike in the <em>Ghostbusters</em> films and <em>The Real Ghostbusters</em> cartoon, where the most damage was really done using objects like trash cans. And the occasional slime of course!  (He slimed me!)</p>
<p><span id="more-665"></span>Here, we have the opening cinematic of the video game, which I am purchasing for both Wii and Xbox 360, and perhaps the DS so I have it on the go as well.  We&#8217;ll see.  Can you tell that I&#8217;m psyched to play this game?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object data="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=48373" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="392" width="480"><param name="id" value="gtembed"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="src" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=48373"><param name="name" value="gtembed"><param name="align" value="middle"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></object></p>
<p>Right about now, you&#8217;re probably wondering why I would get both the Wii version and the Xbox 360 version.  Well, there are a number of reasons.</p>
<p>On the Xbox 360, you play as the original <em>Ghostbusters</em> (important), and you have the realistic looking graphics (not that important). You also have the incredible looking cinematics, like the one above.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-666" href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/ghostbusters-the-video-game-opening-cinematic/gb-vg-wii/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-666" title="Ghostbusters The Video Game: Wii Version" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gb-vg-wii-300x171.jpg" alt="Ghostbusters The Video Game: Wii Version" height="171" width="300"></a>On the Wii, you play as a new recruit, either a guy or a girl (your choice), and you have stylistic looking graphics (pretty cool).  You also have the ability to use your Wii remote as the neutrona blaster, and to throw the trap with the nunchuck.  On top of that, there is co-operative game play.</p>
<p>Check out the <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em> Wii trailer below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ghostbusters-team.jpg" rel="lightbox[637]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-638" title="Ghostbusters: Egon Spengler, Raymond Stanz and Peter Venkman" src="http://www.sweetpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ghostbusters-team-225x300.jpg" alt="Ghostbusters: Egon Spengler, Raymond Stanz and Peter Venkman" height="300" width="225"></a>Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis have commented on the upcoming Ghostbusters 3 script that is in the works, and in the process revealed some new plot points as well as new Ghostbusting tools that will be at their disposal.&nbsp;I am assuming this is in addition to the classic and iconic <strong>Proton Pack</strong>, which wasn&#8217;t mentioned, but most definitely will be a part of it.</p>
<p>Aykroyd explains: &#8220;There will be a whole new generation that has to be trained, and that whole new generation will be led by an individual who you&#8217;ll all love when you meet him but I&#8217;m not going to tell you anything yet.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is really interesting and I wonder who it could possibly be. The first time that I read this, I took it to mean that the person training the Ghostbuster Cadets was who he was referring to. But reading it again, it seems that he means a new leader for the new group of primary Ghostbusters.</p>
<p><span id="more-637"></span></p>
<p>Having a ton of teams would make this pretty confusing and almost over-flowing with too many busters out and about. It is reminiscent of the Stargate SG-1 format, though. To my mind, I could see this working as an SG-1 style series, though. But that&#8217;s another idea for another day.</p>
<p>Back to the leader for the new Ghostbusters team&#8230; I never really thought there was a single standout leader of the original team.&nbsp; That&#8217;s what made it so interesting and a great playground game.&nbsp; Each character played a role and not one of them was more important than the other. I suppose, though, if you take it from an SG-1 style of team, that has a ranking leader who is the first among equals. Combining that sentiment with that of the original Ghostbusters formula could work so that the team dynamic isn&#8217;t lost to the structure of a military format.</p>
<p>Now, onto the tools of the trade. Aykroyd comments: &#8220;They&#8217;ll be lots of <strong>cadets</strong>, boys and girls, who&#8217;ll be learning how to use the <strong>psychotron</strong>, the <strong>accelerators</strong> and all the new stuff, the <strong>neuron splitter</strong>, which is going to be the interplaner, interceptor and all these great tools that they&#8217;re going to have, to flip from dimension to dimension.&#8221;</p>
<p>The first thing that I thought was: holy smokes, that&#8217;s a lot of information to take in. It&#8217;s kind of overwhelming. Especially when we&#8217;ve only had a few tools between Ghostbusters 1 and 2 and the RGB series (not to mention Extreme Ghostbusters): The Proton Pack, The Slime Blower, The Ghost Trap, the PKE Meter and the Giger Meter. Â Now there are some pretty fascinating new tools:</p>
<p>Psychotron: ? No idea what this could be for.</p>
<p>Accelerators: ? Like proton accelerators?</p>
<p>Neuron Splitter: ? Allows the user to flip from dimension to dimension? Does that mean between the dimension of the dead and the living? Multi-spacial dimensions? Interesting&#8230; hopefully it&#8217;s not super cheesy and used within the realms of reality as much as possible, like the original films.</p>
<p>Harold Ramis previously revealed that he and the other original Ghostbusters would be in various roles, acting as &#8216;mentors or advisers&#8217; for the new Ghostbusters to learn from. I can already see a training montage happening, though I hope that I am wrong about that. The original Ghostbusters didn&#8217;t need a training montage, so why would the new team?</p>
