A roller-coaster of a production, Ghostbusters III remains one of the most anticipated sequels in franchise history. With the recent announcement on Access Hollywood that Dan Aykroyd has left Sony Pictures on the account that they would not agree to make Ghostbusters III, the future does look bleak, at least the near future. Dan Aykroyd remains committed to seeing his vision of another Ghostbusters film come to the silver screen.
Ghostbusters HQ will keep you updated to the date on all the happenings, news, rumors, and speculation behind the scenes of the third installment. And as always, the HQ promises to be the definitive source for your latest news.

The day the Ghostheads cried
If this is true it could be a disaster of biblical proportions. The interesting thing of note is that the EXACT same thing happened with GB2 just before everyone came around after a dinner at the Aykroyd Compound about the film, but hey- I still feel like shedding a tear.http://www.aint-it-cool.com/display.cgi?id=6920

Does GHOSTBUSTERS 3 Have A Ghost Of A Chance?
Hey folks, Harry here... Well, shucks... For all of those hanging on to hopes about seeing a third GHOSTBUSTERS film... well, it looks like it is as dead as a dead thing what can't move at all. And from the looks of it, it is all Bill Murray's fault!!!
SO... At least you now know who to direct angry frustrated thoughts at. At a press conference for his latest film, Denys Arcand's "Stardom", here at the TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival], Dan Aykroyd was asked what was happening with Ghostbusters 3. Bluntly, he said "it's dead".
He described it as "a combination of not getting the right story, and the business side of things.". He also stated the primary reason was that Bill Murray didn't want to be involved, and that they all pretty much agreed there wouldn't be much point in doing it without him. He also said that it was a relief when they finally made the decision and he was happy just working as an actor. To my eye though, those statements seemed a tad contrived.

Well, it's better than nothin'
Well, it's not even worth posting a picture of, but the January/February Issue of Cinescape does have indeed a short 15 word blurb in it's MovieWire section on Page 17.
"...Dan Aykroyd has confirmed that a first draft of a Ghostbusters 3 script is finished..."
Well, it's better than nothing, but it's common knowledge. Oh well, at least it's more print.

Dan Aykroyd's Announcement of Projects
Ghostbusters HQ has closely been following announcements of Dan Aykroyd's schedule for the 2000 fiscal year, because it would be safe to assume that there should be a certain sequel love it or hate it on that list. Well, GBHQ has learned that indeed scheduling of the 2000 production year is beginning for Mr. Aykroyd, however public knowledge and/or announcements will not be made until (gasp) December. Looks like the October date was shot down eh?
