I think the original idea of doing an animated film is the way to go but as long as the main focus is on the original four characters i will be happy with whatever comes of this. As long as it is better than Ghostbusters 2, of course .

I think this will be forgotten about again. That's the reason the video game was made, because only Aykroyd and Ramis were on board for a third movie. It's surprising to me that Murray jumped on board because before the video game, he gave a firm no, which lead the studio into considering Ben Stiller as the lead.
Ramis looks COMPLETELY different since Ghostbusters. I didn't even know he was in Orange County until I read the credits.
They're all too old/out of shape to do it now. If this was announced a couple years after Ghostbusters 2, I'd be all for it.
I agree. As much as i would love to see this movie. I think it will only work if they do, indeed, bring Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg onboard. Having the original cast teaching a new breed of Ghostbusters seems like a good idea to me. Having the movie focus entirely around the original cast is just ridiculous though.

I agree that it would be hard to pull off but with Akroyd and Ramis directly involved in the writing as well, i think a story revolving around, "passing the torch", would have great potential. Whether or not they would make a ghostbusters 4 with the new cast shouldn't be any concern for this story. The formula of the Ghostbusters is humor and sci-fi with humor being the main ingredient. as long you find the right cast who knows how to do subtle humor, i think it would be a relatively smooth and acceptable transition.

The soon to be released Ghostbusters video game, for all intensive purposes, is said to be the closest thing to a Ghostbusters 3. All of the original actors will return to lend their voices to the game, except for Rick Moranis who declined to come out of retirement.
does anyone really care about Rick Moranis anyway? Maybe i'm one of the few people that is glad he retired but when i think Ghostbusters, Rick Moranis is one of the furthest things from my mind.
