Eliza to Bust Ghosts?

GHOSTBUSTERS III To Begin Shooting This Winter?
Beaks here...

Where are we with the GHOSTBUSTERS III rumors? Let's see... we know longtime holdout Bill Murray is finally on board with the idea... Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg of THE OFFICE are banging out the screenplay... it's going to be a "passing of the torch" from the old guard Ghostbusters to a new generation of funny fellas (and ladies)... Ray Parker Jr. is giddily looking forward to another whopping royalties payday (which he might have to share with Huey Lewis)...

I haven't been following the development of GHOSTBUSTERS III too closely, but it sounds like the big news contained in Geoff Boucher's just-published story at The Los Angeles Times is a) the film could begin shooting this winter, b) Sigourney Weaver has agreed to reprise her role as Peter Venkman's on-again/off-again Dana Barrett, and c) Ivan Reitman will not be directing the third film (because he's too busy as a producer).

This is all according to Dan Aykroyd, who cautions that "at any second everything could blow up". But with Murray in the mix and a screenplay on the way (and Ramis as a probable replacement for Reitman), Aykroyd's optimism is justified; this is definitely the closest GHOSTBUSTERS III has been to production since he started talking it up over a decade ago. As for the "new guard" Ghostbusters, Aykroyd is hoping for a group of five, and he's already advocating for Alyssa Milano (whose voice will be featured in the long-delayed video game) and Eliza Dushku. I can certainly get with the latter, but would opt for Anna Faris over the lovely Ms. Milano.

I should add that I spoke with John Krasinski a couple of weeks ago (for AWAY WE GO), and, as we were wrapping up, asked if he'd been approached to play one of the new GHOSTBUSTERS (what with the OFFICE connection and all). He said, "No." So there. Now i can slap an "Exclusive!" on this story.

ooor not...

Alyssa Milano just tweeted this
@RugbyNoddy Can't speak for @ElizaPatricia (Hi, pretty lady)but this is the first I'm hearing of Ghostbusters 3. Did the VO in the game tho.

and then Eliza replied
ElizaPatriciaGhost-rumor-buster in a big way @Alyssa_milano (hey girlene) it's nuthin' I know of.

still would be rad if they did it

It would be cool if she did pull on a Proton Pack! But we'll see over the summer what happens.

Oooh, Faith and Pheobe busting ghosts? together? Yes please!

Jess10 · 05-20-2009, 04:03 PM

Ah, but later on, Eliza tweeted:

Ahh, just saw the article, Danny A's genius! There are so many ways I'd 'suit' up. GB's IS hot

"Danny A" would be Dan Akroyd, and "GB" is of course, Ghostbusters! Verrrrry interesting!

Timothywalker · 05-22-2009, 10:34 AM

It sounds like Dan is just mentioning who his dream cast of new Ghostbusters would be. I'm intrigued by the thought of red hot ladies like Alyssa and Eliza donning the Proton packs! Hopefully in bikinis! LOL!

**andrew r** · 05-22-2009, 01:45 PM

I'd love Eliza to say ''don't cross the streams!''

**Bill5461** · 05-23-2009, 07:19 AM

Although I'd love to see Eliza in anything, I have such a bad feeling about this project I'd prefer that she run really fast in the other direction. Does anybody remember how bad GB 2 was?...and these same guys are now 21 years older.

Timothywalker · 05-23-2009, 03:45 PM

I actually liked GB2, Bill, but I would agree that it wasn't on a par with the first one. They have two of the writers from The Office working on the script so it has potential. And Murray and Sigourney are on board supposedly so I'm holding out hope. And Andy, I hope that Alyssa gets to say "I've been slimed!" LOL!

**andrew r** · 05-24-2009, 02:53 PM

I can understand your worries Bill. GB2 wasn't as good as the first. No Mr Stay Puft for starters. I have a feeling it'll be down to how well the game does when it's released. Besides these are all rumours at the moment.
