ghostbusters

Unless you stockpiled up on Real Ghostbusters toys back in the '80s when the cartoon first ran, it's been a challenge to lock down Ghostbuster toys. Mattel's efforts to celebrate the 30th anniversary with a new line was a great idea in theory, but the execution was supremely lacking.

Sigourney Weaver was the only one of the core actors from the original film (minus Rick Moranis who retired from acting) who was not going to be appearing in the new Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig version. But, as it turns out, Weaver will be appearing in the new Ghostbusters movie, alongside Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd and Annie Potts.

Most of us have felt that a 'Ghostbusters' sequel/reboot is a bad idea for a long time. In fact, so many people have thought it's a bad idea that Sony Pictures had a hard time finding anyone to even work on it (Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg turned the project down multiple times). But, when it was announced that Paul Feig would be directing a female-led 'Ghostbusters' movie, we had to at least respect that they were trying something different instead of just another tired sequel. Unfortunately not everyone feels that way, including original Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson.

There's been so much speculation about another Ghostbusters movie. Well, an announcement was made earlier today (10/8) that we are indeed getting one.

This Labor Day weekend, for one week only, you can see the 1984 comedy classic 'Ghostbusters' on the big screen, digitally restored in all its slimy, Stay-Puft glory. And now Sony has delivered a special 30th anniversary trailer for the film, which will also be getting a special Blu-ray re-release. Hail Gozer!

The biggest problem with the concept of 'Ghostbusters 3' is the fact that 'Ghostbusters' still very much exists and is pretty much perfect. This fact will be reconfirmed when the original is re-released later this summer as part of the film's 30th anniversary celebration, which will also include a new Blu-ray release.

According to an insider, Ghostbusters III is still a go, even after the death of Harold Ramis (who starred in the original Ghostbusters, and it's sequel). How's this gonna work?

Harold Ramis, who played Egon in Ghostbusters among many other awesome things, has died at the age of 69.  He was surrounded by family when he passed.

For the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters, LEGO is finally releasing an official Ghostbusters line. It includes the Ecto-1 vehicle from the movie too!

It's been a very long running back and forth thing between Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd about whether Murray will appear in the next Ghostbusters movie, or even IF the movie is going to get made. Well, the latest, and this is straight from Bill Murray without any other outside print sources, he says it's a possibility!
