Carell, Rogen to star in 'Ghostbusters'?
A new Ghostbusters film is planned with Steve Carell and Seth Rogen, a report claims.
Where did they get that information? From the Proton Charging “Who do you want to be in Ghostbusters” contest?
Please God, tell me why this crap keeps circulating? Haven’t we been through this enough already?
that was horrible. noticeably no truth what so ever.
Guess it goes to show we shouldn’t say anything at all about GB3…it will show up somewhere as news… :walterpeck: Then castewar will get 5000 emails. ![]()
Or saw this post Ghostbusters 3 promo shot - Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016) - GBFans.com
Its the un altered photo in their article…
Yep.
I left a comment on the page stating that it was just Fan’s choice.
Yeah I read…
They swear this is a very reliable source.
Bull Shit
Who’s the head of that website? Patrick?
If you hadn’t mentioned that name I probably would have. It would have gone “Somebody warn Castewar he’s probably in for another round of it…” :roll:
Why did he reference John Candy?
wow, my photoshopped picture of them is causing quite a stir on the net!

Rumor, accident or not I would love to see Rogan as Stantz. He’d be perfect for the role.
I’m a rumor killer!

Wow…you know something… I don’t know how I never thought of that before. Granted, we know this ISN’T going to happen. However, in all of the what if type threads I’ve seen over the years, I don’t recall ever thinking of those guys. They just honestly seem perfect. I’ve heard a lot of people make suggestions like Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller. They are just TOO wacky. They don’t fit the type of sense of humor that Ghostbusters was all about. Somehow, though, I think those four could pull it off beautifully. As long as they make it very clear that the originals won’t be back (or at least not fully) they might be able to get away with it without too much trouble. If we are expecting the original guys, of course we are going to be disappointed.
I think Freddy vs. Ghostbusters and Return of the Ghostbusters proved that we can accept new Ghostbusters if it is done well. I doubt it could come close to the other movies, but it could be like a Ghostbusters for the new generation. I’d love that, so at least the franchise could live on. I wouldn’t want them to do it unless they could do it well, and I wouldn’t want to see them water it down with too many sequels, but… you know something? I think those guys would actually be great. Obviously not what we all REALLY would want, but I think we could forgive them considering it has been too long now and the original guys are just a little too old.
Yeah, I always thought Carrel would be good in a GB movie as he reminds me of Murray.
But who was there “reliable” source… Patrick??
Digitial Spy, a well known UK based showbiz website, is also running with the story, at the moment its one of the main headlines for the site. Without building up hopes, Digital Spy dont usually publish a story/rumour unless they believe it to be fairly accurate. However they are holding their cards to their chests by also stating that it is a rumour at this stage.

Im actually up for the idea of handing down to a newer group. I totally agree that this could carry the franchise to a younger generation of potential fans - again, as long as it doesnt get watered down. However, I do think that the title should be not Ghostbusters 3, but should rather have a subtitle (eg Ghostbusters: Hellbent etc), that way we dont get a Jaws esque Ghostbusters 4, 5, 6, etc which would be very dodgy!! - ok, kinda running away with myself there ![]()

That was the argument made last time (“Ben Stiller to star!”), and the villain then is the same villain as now - WENN.
It’s an entertainment news feed, and they don’t feel constrained to things like, facts, like AP or Reuters. And fairly sizable and respectable sites take it at face value. And then, it’s a firestorm of rumour as fact.
I’ll be in the bunker - call me when it’s over.
On my way to work this morning, another GB 3 announcement. This time from National UK radio station Heart FM. On the breakfast show (with Jamie Theakston for all UK peeps), the announcement was again reiterated, “confirming” that the original cast had signed up together with these new guys from 40yr Old Virgin. However, they went one step further to announce a possible release of “as early as Christmas 2009” in UK cinemas. Which is interesting as I hadnt heard of a tentative release date up until then.
Knowing the popularity of Heart FM, I couldnt help but get excited at the time (they even played the Ray Parker Jnr song whilst announcing lol) But hey, this could still just be the effect of chinese whispers! So until Sony announce anything, Im keeping calm!
