I like the idea of a new Ghostbusters, as long as they don’t screw it up. Granted most remakes and super late sequeals usually suck, but most of the time it’s because new people create them. For Ghostbusters 3 the people who created the first two are the ones working on it. So as long as they don’t go overboard I think it’ll be good. On another note, I think it was a great idea to do another Tron movie. The first one flopped so bad almost no one has seen it. The new one looks awesome.
I heard also gremlins 3 in the discussion room.Well if anything hope for the original cast,directors and producers for all of them in hopes there still around or even agree.
you guys all see there still doin the original goonies reunion meeting at the same house with all the fans in oregon and original cast.Thats pretty cool if anything I know they all loved making that movie,i read.
If they make a Ghostbusters 3, I certainly will not watch it.
Too much has changed and that will make the movie seem out of place with the first 2 movies. It was the same when they made a 4th Indiana Jones, and 3 more Star Wars movies. The look of the new films is too modern. It looks and feels very out of place in relation to the original films.
I would have been fine with a 3rd Ghostbuster movie if it was made in the early to mid-90′s. But 20 something years later? I don’t think so. Kids will surely enjoy it, but don’t count on many people born in the 70′s and 80′s to be there. We have too many memories invested in the first 2 films to let an out-of-place 3rd film destroy the experience.
I’ve got an idea, Hollywood: Come up with new ideas. Ghostbusters was our child. Let the new generations have their own classic films.
Leave the 80′s alone. The 4th Indiana Jones movie was awful. Seriously, 19 years had gone by since the 3rd film. Harrison Ford looked nothing like the same man as he did in 1989. Plus, technology changed so much since 1989, and that made the 4th film appear so out of place. Remember the first 8 Friday the 13th movies? Personally, I think they should have ended with number 4. But at least back then, they had the sense to space them about 1 or 2 years apart. Even Jason Goes to Hell wasn’t that bad. Mainly because only 4 years had passed since the 8th film hit the theaters in 1989. But the last 3 films took place after 2002. That totally ruined the franchise, IMO. It did not have the same campy feel as it did in the 80′s and early 90′s.
Same thing with the new Star Wars movies. The CGI was so much more advanced in the most recent 3 films, and that made the entire series look so odd. The first 3 Star Wars films were spaced 3 years apart. Had Lucas maintained that spacing, he could have finished the last 3 films by 1992. That way, the technology between the prequels and sequels wouldn’t have had such a night and day difference in appearance.
There should be rules for sequels, prequels and remakes. 5 years should be the cutoff. The Last Crusade was made in 1989. Therefore, 1994 should have been the cutoff point for a remake. Ford would have looked similar to his age in the 1989 film, and the technology would be similar to the 1989 film, so it wouldn’t feel so out-of-place.
I no longer torture myself. I no longer go to see remakes. I want to remember the films as they were.
Also, I heard they are remaking the 1985 movie, Clue. Seriously? Clue was relevant for adults and children in the 80′s. But 2011? How many children today have ever played Clue, much less heard of the Movie?
Half of my feelings come from nostalgia. The other half are about artistic integrity.
Yes there should realize the opportunity to RSS commentary, quite simply, CMS is another on the blog.
