Sigourney Weaver Says 'Ghostbusters III' Won't Happen

[Brian Damage]

In a forthcoming interview with Premiere conducted by yours truly, Sigourney Weaver talks at length about all her various franchises, and even has a few words to say about the recently resurrected hoopla over a possible Ghostbusters III. When I pointed out that the film industry's renewed focus on next-gen 3D imagery and CG-rendered worlds means that perhaps a third Ghostbusters adventure is still feasible, Weaver looked at me a bit like I had just given her a toothache. She then took a big breath and said "Well, I just saw Ivan Reitman at this dinner, this lunch for his son, and, ummm, there's no way."

you interviewed Sigourney Brian?? What was she like? Alien is my favorite sci-fi series of movies, and in no small part to her performances in them.

^ a big duhhhhh, I just noticed it's by a Ryan Stewart. When you had the part saying "conducted by yours truly", I thought maybe you were granted an interview with her :lol:

I wish...lol

I just took an exerpt from the article.

I am really disappointed with this news, but then again...is Sigourney Weaver a vital character to remake GB 3?

Given his career trajectory in recent years, I highly doubt Bill Murray would do a Ghostbusters III. Besides, I think it's too long since the last one and they should leave well enough alone.

I imagine, though, given the CGI technology, that a "re-imagining" or remake might happen at some point.:rolleyes:

[Max Whittaker]

Did she give a reason for why it wont happen?

I agree. Granted, she would be missed, but if they could successfully make a Rocky without Adrian, they could do Ghostbusters without Dana. She was hardly as vital to that franchise as Ripley is to the Alien movies (when they killed her off in pt. 3, they cloned her just to have Sigourney in pt. 4)

Late breaking news from the floor of WonderCon in San Francisco. The convention program features an interesting tease that features the classic Ghostbusters logo and “something exciting is coming to the neighborhood!” “Look for the big announcement at Comic Con San Diego 2008”.

Could it be the Ghostbusters 3 computer animated movie that has been in development for a few years now. Dan Aykroyd confirmed the development of an animated Ghostbusters 3 in an interview last year.

“I wrote a script called Hell Bent, Ghostbusters go to hell basically. The premise is that it’s Manhellton. There’s Manhattan and ManHELLton. And if you can build an inter-dimensional phase system so that you can go from one dimension to another. We’ve succeeded doing that and we go to the hell side. Downtown, Folley Square - where the cops are, they’re all blue minotaurs. Central Park is this huge deep mine, green demons there, surrounded by black onyx thousand foot high apartment buildings with classic red devils. Very wealthy. And we go visit a Donald Trump like character - Mr. Siffler. Lou Siffler, Lucifer. So I will say we meet the devil in it. It won’t happen as a live action because Billy [Murray] won’t come on to the live action but he will voice his part, as a CGI animated project. With CGI, and animation, the way these cartoons are done, we can do everything I wrote in that script for a lot less money.”
