In a recent news article it has been revealed that the past year or so has been difficult but that the Ghostbusters 3 movie is finally starting to come together. There were concerns that some of the people in the original films were not into doing another sequel, but now it looks like the movie will happen. Originally, according to news reports, Bill Murray who played Peter Venkman, wasn’t all for the notion of making another film, and there were some stories that suggested that the original director, Ivan Reitman, wasn’t going to get involved with directing the new film. Now, both Murray and Reitman have jumped on the bandwagon and it is hoped that filming will occur this year.
Sigourney Weaver, who played Dana Barrett in the first two films, was not initially interested in the project, but it seems that she has changed her mind and she believes that the project will be fun. The first Ghostbusters film was made on a 30 million dollar budget and grossed more than $291,600,000, while Ghostbusters II was made with a 25 million dollar budget and grossed more than $215,394,000. Undoubtedly, Ghostbusters fans eagerly await Ghostbusters 3 which is being made some 21 years after the second film which was made in 1989.
