It was an inevitable reality, but it still stinks.

Ghostbusters 3 has long been delayed, mainly due to Bill Murray very vocally adamant about not wanting to participate, and now, Dan Aykroyd has come forward to confirm that his former co-star will not be returning for the third installment, but production is still a go!

He explains:

Warner Bros To Reboot Batman Franchise After The Dark Knight Rises!

batman to get reboot treatment

And they'll be bringing back Batman & Robin's Joel Schumacher to helm the Batman reboot!!! JK!

Schumacher may not be returning, but then again neither will Christopher Nolan as director, or Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, because after The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters, Warner Bros will be completely rebooting the Batman franchise.

Here's what WB chief Jeff Robinov had to say about it:

“We have the third Batman, but then we’ll have to reinvent Batman…Chris Nolan and [producing partner and wife] Emma Thomas will be producing it, so it will be a conversation with them about what the next phase is.”

Well at least Christopher Nolan will be involved on SOME level. That makes us feel a bit better about it.

Guess we'll see who they bring in to direct. How about they go the comedy route and bring in Judd Apatow for this one? LOLz.

We're thinking James Franco as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Harold Ramis as Alfred, Leslie Mann as Bruce's love interest, and Seth Rogen Jason Segel Jay Baruchel Jonah Hill as the new Joker!

And hey…if they want to stay conventional for this reboot, that's fine! They can bring in Apatow when they reboot the franchise again in 2020.

Who do U think they should bring in to direct and star in the Batman reboot?

Dan Aykroyd Re-Writing Ghostbusters 3 Script

Filed under: Film Flickers

dan aykroyd rewriting ghostbusters 3 script while promoting crystal head vodka

Hooray for another Ghostbusters 3 update! Good to see the project staying alive. If we could only get an Arrested Development update, then we'd be golden!

As far as Ghostbusters 3 news is concerned, the latest update is that Dan Aykroyd is working on a new draft of the script, while he travels around the U.S. and promotes his Crystal Head Vodka from his RV.

Good thing Aykroyd is getting going on a new draft of the script, because Bill Murray was not a fan of the previous draft.

Here's what Aykroyd had to say about it:

"I think he was concerned that the writing on Ghostbusters 3 by these guys would not be up to standard, but I can tell you firsthand, I'm working on the script now and those two - Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, wrote Bill the comic role of a lifetime, and the new Ghostbusters and the old are all well represented in it…we have a strong first draft that Harold [Ramis] and I will take back, and I'm very excited about working on it."

More from Aykroyd on the new movie:

"Look, Hollywood is in love with any kind of nostalgia that can prove itself to be commercial. But it has to evolve. Now [in Ghostbusters 3] my character's eyesight is shot, I got a bad knee, a bad hip-I can't drive that caddy anymore or lift that Psychotron Accelerator anymore, it's too heavy. We need young legs, new minds-new Ghostbusters; so I'm in essence passing the torch to the new regime, and you know what? That's totally okay with me."

Keep going with that script, Dan! If selling alien-skull-shaped bottles of vodka gives you ample time to write, then keep selling those bottles and keep writing!

And bring back Rick Moranis, if you can. We'd love to see his triumphant return!

Are U excited for crystal head vodka the new Ghostbusters movie?

Harold Ramis revealed that Ghostbusters 3 will be released around Christmas in 2010! He says:

“Well, there’s been a lot of talk about a third Ghostbusters film, which has now become real. It’s… I can say with some certainty that there will be a third movie. It won’t be out until Christmas 2012, but the work is going on now.”

But will all the original Ghostbusters return?!

What say you, Bill Murray?
