"Ghostbuster 3" filming next summer?

 I have had this post saved in my drafts for about 4 hours now, I couldn't bring myself to post it. This whole process seems to be dragging on and starting to get on my nerves a bit, I mean I would love to see the film but damn this is annoying. This is pretty exciting news, but don't let your inner child get the better of you, you may be hugely let down.

"At this point, you’d be forgiven for taking any Ghostbusters 3 updates with a big heaping dose of scepticism. But the projected summer start actually has a little weight to it, since it’s already impacting other plans over at Paramount. The news came buried in a Deadline story about Reitman’s upcoming Draft Day, a “Moneyball-esque” film that has Kevin Costner set to star.
According to the report, Paramount decided to hit pause on that project because there wouldn’t have been enough time to shoot it before Reitman was due on Sony’s Ghostbusters 3 set. Costner’s career is on the rise again, and Paramount’s definitely interested in seeing him back on top — the studio has him on board the Tom Clancy thrillers Jack Ryan and Without Remorse, with a possible standalone spin-off planned for the future. It seems doubtful they’d drop a promising sports pic with him if Reitman’s Ghostbusters 3 plans were less than solid.
If all goes according to schedule, the timing for Ghostbusters 3 couldn’t be better. A mid-2013 shoot suggests a 2014 release date, which would coincide with the first Ghostbusters‘ 30th anniversary."

"The Cold Light Of Day" posters & clips

Bruce Willis seems to be popping up in a lot of films lately, I'm not complaining I love the man. He has been teaming up with lots of big names in Hollywood over the past 2 years, we can now add Superman himself Henry Caville to that list. They are set to team up in an upcoming Action/Thriller set in Spain. While on vacation a young American "Caville" uncovers a conspiracy during his attempt to save his family, who were kidnapped while on vacation in Spain.

"Ghostbusters 3" update

The newest update on "Ghostbusters 3" is not good, not good at all. We all seen it coming unfortunately, but we all held that hope, that one day Murray would decide to take on the film.
Not only is this a blow to the people my age 21 or so who would have seen this film growing up, it is a blow to the older generation who were forced to watch it by their children an fell in love with it an the people younger than me who will never feel the happiness of a "Ghostbusters" film. Looks like they will have to stick to the first two.

"Last month Aykroyd admitted for the first time that the film was unlikely to happen with Murray as one of its stars and that a re-casting of the Peter Venkman role could even be required for the movie to happen…
I honestly don’t know. At this point it’s in suspended animation. The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn’t want to be involved. He’s got six kids, houses all over America. He golfs in these tournaments where they pay him to turn up and have a laugh. He’s into this life and living it. I know we’d have a lot of fun [but] I can’t be mad at him. He’s a friend first, a colleague second. We have a deep personal relationship that transcends business and he doesn’t want to know”
Then speaking about the possible Bill Murray re-casting, Aykroyd admitted that one possibility was another acting portraying Venkman but that he didn’t want to disrespect the original;
[We] are not going to do a movie that exploits the franchise. The script has to be perfect. I’m the cheerleader, but I’m only one voice in the matter. It’s a surety that Bill Murray will not do the movie, however there is still interest from the studio."
