New Ghostbusters

Egon Spengler himself, Harold Ramis has spoken to MTV about what we should expect from this third installment.

Ramis promised that all the old core players will take part in the updated version, including Bill Murray (Dr. Peter Venkman) and Dan Aykroyd (Dr. Raymond Stantz), who co-wrote the original films. “We’re all going to be in it in different kinds of roles,” Ramis said. “We’re going to be the sage mentors. There are going to be young Ghostbusters.”

As of now, no decisions have been made about just who those new Ghostbusters will be. But with Judd Apatow signed on as a producer, the Internet has been buzzing with gossip that comedians from his cinematic universe, such as Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen, will join in.

I don’t find Seth to be that funny. He was humorous with Steve Carnell, Paul Rudd, in 40 Year Old Virgin, and co-starring with Bill Hader in Superbad. But since then I just haven’t been a fan of his. I feel he’s been over exposed and I’m sure as hell am not gonna see his slapstick Green Hornet film.

The idea of “new guys” doesn’t work for with me. I liked to see a Big Last Hurrah movie like Rocky Balboa, were the original cast are center stage and not on the sidelines with other people like Egon was in the 90’s cartoon, Extreme Ghostbusters.
