Meh, like a handful of other projects that have been in development hell for years, I'll give it more attention when they are actually shooting.
These guys are all pretty old..... This is going to be like seeing Ford as 70 year old Indiana Jones, not good times.
Yeah I agree, it'd need a really strong script, if the story is what I've heard before the plot would revolve around them training the "next generation" of Busters, last I'd heard these two were in consideration.... <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836/elizadushkuc.jpg/'><img src='http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5669/elizadushkuc.jpg' border='0'/></a> <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/695/tylerlabine.jpg/'><img src='http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4453/tylerlabine.jpg' border='0'/></a>
Still have it on my Zune (yes, I said Zune). Too hot to handle, too cold to hold. They call the Ghostbusters and they're in control. I know Eliza Dushku, who, in addition to being hot and a huge b**** in real life, is a terrible actress. Who's the dude? The only way this movie will work as a "passing of the torch" story is if they find good, young, funny actors. Reading the words "Ashton Kutcher" in relation to Ghostbusters broke the heart of the kid who used to live inside me.
The dude is Tyler Labine, a pretty solid comedic actor. He's been in all sorts of thing over the past few years. Anything having to do with Ashton Kutcher makes my heart sink a little, he sooo damn awful!!!
FIFY DD. Looked up his imdb, nothing I would nut over (no homo). I'd still give him a chance over Asston Kutcher. All I want is a good Ghostbusters III. Murray or no. (Preferably Murray.)
indeed. Love the story of him being invited to a college frat party in England and stayed until after the party was over to clean up. I met him at an Albertsons in Santa Fe, which was random but not necessarily strange. What was strange was the fact that he and the guy he was with (late 20s hippy/stoner dude) spend 5 minutes picking out 4 or 5 Patron Saint Candles. The guy was extremely nice and friendly when we asked to get a picture with him.
The first one was supposed to have John Belushi and Eddie Murphy in an expanded role, but the latter left to do Beverly Hills Cop. What a great time to be a movie fan.
Interesting how Ramis went full bore into directing and producing after this to the point that his latter film roles just seemed like cameos. And always fascinating to see which actors own what: like Tracey Ullman being a part owner of the Simpsons, or Nicholson's insane but well-earned deal for Batman. I guess post-Caddyshack, Murray had just enough going for him at the time to leverage that or for Akyroyd to feel like he was being done a favor. Hudson was on Dinner for Five talking about how little he made from Ghostbusters and how people were knocking on his apartment door at all hours of the night.
I give Moranis credit for taking the only roles he knew he would get. He was probably as well-known as Candy, Short or any of those other guys; but once he realized he wouldn't be doing romanticadventurecomedies with Shelley Long or Goldie Hawn he put his all into Shrunk and all those family comedies, paving the way for other mediocre comedic actors.
God, I love every single thing about this woman: kooky real last name, running triathlons, letting Rick Fox hit it...except her acting.
