Jay 37,364 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Wait, what? Dan Aykroyd is in the film reprising his role as Ray Stantz but Bill Murray is playing someone else?Wha? Aykroyd isn't playing Stantz, he has a cameo as a taxi driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Oh I must have heard wrong. I thought Aykroyd's casting in this meant the old movies and the new movie are set in the same universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not me. For me, Ghostbusters ended its story with the game.Yep, though the game itself was lacking due to the repetitive nature of the gameplay, and clunky mechanics, it was a real joy to hear the one and only Venkman, Spengler, Stantz and Zeddemore wisecracking like they used to. But to be honest the only one of the cast that seemed to deliver his lines just to get it over with, was Bill Murray. The others seemed a lot more enthusiastic doing their parts.What I also loved about the game... the use of Bernstein's great score. And count us lucky the gang got to make it before Ramis' left us.

mstrox 6,651 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Ghostbusters has a ravenous fanbase, which, to me, is confusing because there were really only three "major" media items (Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, The Real Ghostbusters cartoon) and a few minor ones (short-lived spin-off cartoons, video games, comics, etc). The only thing that's been great, among that limited selection, was the first movie.The original 2, you mean?We try not to talk about part 2.

Giftheck 916 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's, to me, saying "we have the remaining original cast but they are not even playing the characters you knew in this film." It would be like rebooting Star Wars, bringing in Mark Hamill but casting him as someone else, or doing it with Star Trek and having William Shatner not play Kirk but cameo anyway. It's a "why bother?" scenario to me: these roles could all be filled by anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Theodore Shapiro is set to compose the music for the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot. The film is directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat) and stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Andy Garcia, Matt Walsh, Michael K. Williams and Chris Hemsworth. Stars of the original Ghostbusters, Bill Murray,Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson will also be appearing in the new version. Feig has also written the screenplay with Katie Dippold (The Heat). Amy Pascal is producing the supernatural comedy with Ivan Reitman (Stripes, Kindergarten Cop, Dave) who helmed the original film. Shapiro has previously scored Feig’s last feature Spy starring Melissa McCarthy. The 1984 original Ghostbusters film was scored by Elmer Bernstein, while the 1989 featured music by Randy Edelman. Ghostbusters is set to be released on July 22, 2016 by Sony Pictures. Shapiro’s other upcoming projects also include Ben Stiller’s Zoolander 2. The composer whose previous credits include The Devil Wears Prada, Tropic Thunder and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty also has scored Nancy Meyers’ The Intern, which is opening this weekend, as well as the drama Trumbo, which just premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and will be released in theaters this November. http://filmmusicreporter.com/2015/09/24/theodore-shapiro-to-score-ghostbusters-reboot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just something fun he can do in a day or two (see cameos in Parks and Recreation, Get Smart, Zombieland, etc)I know of his Zombieland cameo: that was where he effectively labelled Garfield the worst movie he did. As to his resistance to playing Venkman on screen again, one has to wonder if his animosity towards Harold Ramis at the time had anything to do with it. Had Ramis not died, would their reconciliation have persuaded Murray to do Ghostbusters 3? Maybe, but we will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
