- GHOSTBUSTERS
A history and timeline of the numerous attempts to complete a Ghostbusters trilogy. Notably "Ghostbusters III: Hell-Bent" and "Ghostbusters: Alive Again!"
Ghostbusters, released in 1984, is one of Columbia Pictures' highest grossing films ever, and became a cultural phenomenon in it's own right.
Directed by Ivan Reitman, it's the story of three parapsychologists; Ray Stantz, played by Dan Aykroyd, Egon Spengler, played by the late and great Harold Ramis, and Peter Venkman played by Bill Murray, who are fired from their academic jobs. There's something strange in the neighbourhood and so they start a private firm, "Ghostbusters." They hire a colleague, Winston Zeddemore, played by Ernie Hudson and then they save the world!
Ghostbusters Afterlife is released November 21st 2021.

Rest In Peace, Harold Ramis
November 21st 1944 - February 24th 2014
Yes rest in Heavenly Peace Harold Ramis
Yeah he will be missed
At least he didn't have to see the reboot.
SCTV, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Stripes... As much as I love Murray, Hudson, Ackroyd, Moranis, Potts and Weaver... Ramis was really the most talented.
R.I.P.
Yes rip harold Ramis he played egon Spengler at his best
Rest in peace my man
I feel like Ernie Hudson cares more for Ghostbusters than anyone else. He always seems up for a movie and happy to do it.
Facts. He’s the Jason David Frank of the franchise way before Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or the Green Ranger even existed.
A Ghostbusters/MMPR crossover would be epic.
@@trealsteve no it would be an absolute shit show of a cross over.
No way. Dan akyroyd cares and loves the movies more than anyone ever
@@deebo1339 We know that, but apart from Akroyd, Ernie Hudson is the only other actor that really wants to do Ghostbusters. Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman seemed sometimes interested, sometimes not, and Bill Murray was just straight up weird about it. It was kinda perfect that Ray/Akroyd and Winston/Hudson were still the two guys doing birthday parties in GB 2, since in real life they are the ones still kinda into the whole thing while others are half way into it or just too cool for the franchise.
@@John-ct9zs very true.
I really hate how Ernie Hudson is always either left out or at the tail end of questions/conversations. He's one of my favorite characters and a great actor.. I suppose its his involvement in a cast featuring some of the most iconic actors in history but he deserves praise.
I always felt bad for Dan Akyroyd, as he really really wanted to make this movie. At least he's finally getting a chance to be in some way involved with this new film
Sony kept doing him dirty ..damn
@@desi1790 Mainly did Bill Murray. He was in awful movies like Osmosis Jones and The Dead Don't Die, yet he couldn't just say yes to one of the many versions of Ghost Busters 3?
@@SwirlyJoe i will not accept osmosis jones slander.
i dont get it, whats with sony?
The new trailer is awesome
I love how Bill Murray gets progressively more pissed as the video continues
@M M
I’m in no way mad at the guy. He clearly lost most of his passion for the role and has other interests he would rather spend time on. I’d be pissed too if I was asked the same question for years by reporters.
@M M you are right, but you could also dial it back a bit
@M M I'm not concerned, it's completely your choice to be over the top.
@M M yea you were in your reaction to a comment, I already agreed with your opinion, and also yea I'm judging.
Passion is usually a good instinct whether to do it or not.
I never understood Murray's hatred for Ghostbusters II. As a kid I was super excited to see it. When I did get to see it I was not disappointed. As far as I am concerned it's just as good as the first one. I still love both films to this day.
Well it's not as good as the first and it's an almost beat for beat retread of ot.
I enjoyed it as a child but as an adult I've never felt any desire to rewatch it, unlike the first one. In hindsight I think the villain of the second was a bit of a tonal mismatch that brought the experience down a bit. Combined with the disappointing box office performance I can understand Bill being reluctant to do another as it might have reflected poorly on him as an actor and leading man, plus he has to be motivated since the money wouldn't be that big of a deal to him.
I remember not really liking it when I first saw it on VHS as a kid; the first one was better IMO
An artist, especially a good one, is their own worst critic. In Murray’s case, he just didn’t want to ruin the legacy of the first film for another cash grab. Film is one of those rare art forms that an artist/actor can get away with making something completely different, i.e a franchise and be ok. Continuing to make sequels on a particular film puts them in the same position as a musical artist where the next project will be compared with the previous one and vice versa. Thriller (Michael Jackson), Purple Rain (Prince), Songs In The Key Of Life (Stevie Wonder), Appetite For Destruction (Guns N Roses), Toys In The Attic (Aerosmith), Jazz (Queen), Sons Of Soul (Tony! Toni! Tone’!), No Jacket Required (Phil Collins), The Blueprint (Jay Z), The Art Of War (Bone Thugs N Harmony), Heartbreak (New Edition), The 20/20 Experience (Justin Timberlake), Confessions (Usher), Rhythm Nation 1814 (Janet Jackson), Graduation (Kanye West), and Pages of Life Chapters 1 & 2 (Fred Hammond) can’t be topped by said artist no matter how much music they put out afterwards. I’m sure Murray feels the same about Ghostbusters and want to be left alone about it. 🤣
I get the feeling that Murray is just like me. He hates milking great movies. The first one was always supposed to be a one off. Anything afterwards is just a desperate attempt by a greedy studio to milk it for profits. It's like if they tried to make a sequel to a movie like El Cid called "El Cid 2: Back from the Dead".
After seeing Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I can say I was not disappointed. It was a great story, fun when the original guys showed up, and they did Harold Ramis/Egon proud with that entire plot. A grown man cried.
Watched it twice. Teared up both times Egon appeared to help his granddaughter.
My favorite movie of 2021 so far. Loved every minute of it
Thats cool its not out for everyone yet
Same
Naw
Poor Dan Ackroyd, he's been so passionate about this franchise over the years, and his original idea for a transdimensional Ghostbusters team predates the original 1984 film and as a paranormal sci-fi idea in this era of multi-platform franchise storytelling... you'd think a green light would be a no brainer.
I'm glad they've set the new one around Egon's grandkids and I have a good feeling about it.
essentially ghostbusters 3 is the living definition of “development hell”
It sounds like many of Dan's ideas from his script were incorporated into Afterlife
I love the fact Harold Ramis looks down looking for his mark when he steps back during the commercial
they should make Ghostbusters: Hell Bent the NEXT Ghostbusters video game.
Just watched Afterlife and cried during those final scenes. I won’t ruin it, but if you saw it you know lol. It was a great experience with my little boy, a big fan of the original.
Yeah afterlife was a good movie
I won't even lie. I did not want to see the movie because I thought it looked like a Harry Potter movie. Well have yet to see the movie but I did watch the end. My 40 year old self cried. It was emotional. I really want to see this movie but not in the theater unless there is another group of people who are there crying so we can all cry together. 😁 I will watch it at home.
Dude I cried like a lil baby
@@SuperMuckone glad I wasn’t alone lol.
I cried in the theater too
That Ghostbusters: "Hell-Bent." Plot actually sounds fucking awesome! I know we're never gonna see it now (unless they get the Batman '89 comic treatment), but I'm still happy that things turned out well with Afterlife & hopefully Frozen Empire
I remember GHOSTBUSTERS with so much love, that I cried when I read about the death of our HAROLD RAMIS "EGON", I needed this information for about 20 years,
Thank you for this video
Ghostbusters: Hell-bent sounded like an awesome idea.
It sounds like Constantine
Part 13
I completely agree
@@noone-gh4dw czcams.com/video/IBi-NeI9jZM/video.html
But ghostbusters heaven sent would be a worse sequel to it
I still say the backlash of GB2016 fast-tracked the true Ghostbusters sequel (even though I'm one of those who felt the video game was the 3rd movie), which became Ghostbusters Afterlife.
“DAN AYKROYD SAYS IT COULD HAPPEN!!”
“Uhhhhhhhhhhh……….it might happen?”
How long we heard that? 😂😂😂😂 They should change this title "The Trouble with Bill Murray." Oh gosh! 🤦🏾♂️
A video about all the cancelled Flash movies over the years would be pretty interesting.
Like David S Goyer’s version of the Flash movie ?
@@srstriker6420 Also, back in the 90s WB decided to do a Flash movie because of the sucess of the TV show with John Wesley Shipp, and they hire Jeoff Loeb to write the script and cast Michael J. Fox as Barry Allen/Wally West, that's the first cancelled Flash movie, David S. Goyer version is the second version, then we have a version written by Marc Guggenhaim, Greg Berlanti and Michael Green, and this version is in the same universe of the Green Lantern 2011 movie, there's the Phil Lord and Chris Miller/Rick Famuwiya version, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein version, and the script that Ezra Miller himself written with Grant Morrison.
@@marciofilho2137 right because I only know David S Goyer’s version which I like
YES we need this
Thank you for fucking around for so long that Harold Ramis died, Bill Murray
oop
I mean, this video seems like everyone was happy to go ahead without Murray. It was Sony that held out on funding for the entirety of the 80s and 90s.
@@reissoliver8853who wants to see a Ghostbusters without Bill Murray??
It's okay when actors don't want to do sequels. Just hire another actor wearing a face mask, made from the mold of the previous actor.
@@greenvelvetme, I’ll still watch good fan films to this day, Ghostbusters is a series, it is not its characters, if you only watch it for Bill Murray your not a fan of the films, your a fan of an actor in the movie
As a fan of this franchise since I was born, I truly, honestly, earnestly pray… please let Afterlife be good.
A president Donald Trump Lucifer character, really? How about a George Soros Lucifer
The movie is lovely, go give it a shot!
Your prayers (as well as my own) have been answered.. Afterlife was awesome.
I love GB2 but I always felt it took place in the "Real Ghostbusters" universe and not in the original one. Also it needs to be said that Earnie Hudson is so disrespected in this whole saga. That man is a national treasure and he is the best part of the sequel. He even auditioned for his own character on the animated series and didn't get it, they instead cast Arsenio Hall. What a bunch of bullshit.
Afterlife has corrected that mistake by making him the most successful of all them, of course that was in the original script too, just cut out.
I loved Ghostbusters 2, even more than I loved the original…Never understood why it doesn’t get the love it deserves. The dark gray flight suits, the Ecto 1a, the river of slime, all of it!
He explained batman overshadowed it
The Scolari Brothers 😅😅😅😅😅
This is one of those infuriating, head-shaking, depressing videos, like you see about some inmate who was clearly wrongly convicted, but keeps getting screwed over by lawyers and lack of evidence and judges who change their mind at the eleventh hour. And yet, the poor schmuck keeps his chin up and tries to maintain hope, despite setback after setback after setback.
I'm not saying Danny Aykroyd is that inmate . . . we all are.
Good point. Film studio politics is basically "the studio heads are smart, the audience is dumb and the artists get caught in the orgy.
@@Madbandit77 Well...to be fair, I don't really consider the audience to be infallible.
Great analogy
Great concept for a ghostly antagonist you got going there, buddy.
@@matthewmoran5297 That's why the concept of a cult film is interesting. A movie may bomb when it comes out, but it may gain a following in later years.
The old script ideas should be at least novelized by someone and released.
The Hellbent script is being fleshed out in the amazing IDW comic
we’ll wait next 20 years till our favorites actors ascended to cgi movies without 3d blender, the’ll tupac on them
with voice recorded their previous movies and interview
future is gonna be great
we’ll get 10 ghostbusters movies without reboot or remake
and its sad😞
@@jarrenx5 I’m sure it makes a lot more sense too. Lol. As much as I love Dan Ackroyd for creating Ghostbusters, he needed Harold Ramis to ground and flesh it out like he did for the first film.
After watching the whole story I'm pretty sure the majority of it consists of Dan Aykroyd constantly telling everyone that they're working on it.
I still hold on to the belief that the real reason Bill turned down GB3 so many times was because of his fallout with Harold during filming Groundhog Day.
The video game was perfectly fine because he could simply record his lines without having to be in the same place Harold was.
Harold's daughter even mentioned how they never talked for years and how it took a toll on Harold over time.
I'm happy knowing Bill and Harold made amends in private before Harold crossed over though.
I never noticed that before. The commercial at the beginning; "We're ready to believe you." Look at their smiles, just after they say that line. Peter doesn't smile. Ray does. Egon, well, that's something like a smile.
Bill Murray's reluctance to be in the movie always baffled me, considering some of the movies he did take part in, Monuments Men being the ultimate insomnia cure for one. He already made his money years ago so his reluctance to do another was always a bit strange. Then again he is meant to be a bit of an oddball, incredibly hard to get in touch with, i think it was the movie groundhog day they had no idea if he was going to play the part or not until he just showed up.
Cuz maybe he didnt like the script for gb2 and hes right gb2 not as good as gb1
@@alphachad7093 I think Murray has a bit of an ego/ confidence problem personally. I don't know why he was fickle about scripts, given he has a penchant to ad lib his lines anyway.
I feel bad for Dan during that 33/34 min mark. You could tell he was very sad his creative never got made there. That hurts deep especially if he thought it could be great. Luckily, he’s the main reason Ghostbusters was made in the first place. What a legend mind. The mix of Dan, Harold, and Ivan was truly special.
Harold Ramis and Egon have always been my favorite... Movies and the series ❤ Afterlife makes me bawl every time I see it
The Ghostbusters game in 2009 is the sequel everyone who wanted a sequel to Ghostbusters II. Has the four Ghostbusters back and you play as a next generation Ghostbuster, which follows the passing on the baton thing Dan Ackroyd talked about for years now. It’s also nice that Bill Murray did the game at all considering the fact he seemingly hates sequels and only did Ghostbusters II because they offered him and others more money than the first film, while never writing off Ghostbusters III entirely, but the script needed to be good and I guess Dan Ackroyd never sent him a script that he saw being good.
In the 90s I would’ve loved to of seen Chris Farley play new recruit Ghostbusters
The Van would most definitely be parked down by the River
Not to be totally sick, but if Chris Farley played a ghost or a zombie currently in anything, that might be a hit as well. They managed to hijack images of dead actors for some things, maybe his brother could play him underneath and the overlay could be an image more like him, its all pretty macabre, making a puppet out of a dead actor. I think there is still hope though maybe through cartoons or something for all these ideas.
I love Chris, but I think it would have been over the top. It might have taken the franchise overly meta, border-line self-parody territory. Just an opinion, could be wrong.
@@winterramos4527 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So glad this didn’t happen with Farley n co. Sounded awful casting
It actually makes sense that "Ghostbusters II" didn't become as successful after remembering that "Batman" also came out that same year, and it is even considered an underrated sequel by those who enjoyed it as much as the first movie, including myself.
Fair point. No shame in losing to Batman. He is Batman after all.
2 GHOST 👻 BUSTERS SUCKED
@@MimiBaby-sb3dc I don't get it.
I love 2
Ghostbusters 2 failed because the script and direction of part 2 was not as good as part 1. Batman coming out was not an excuse
This is an incredible breakdown. I'm a casual fan of the franchise since '84, yet remember nearly all of the articles and interviews that you've summarized. Really great job here.
The 2016 female version lost $100,000,000 for Sony pictures. They fired Paul Feig, and the CEO of Sony pictures stepped down after that debacle. Not up to people's expectations is an understatement.
Hemsworth's was flawless, luv looking at that man.
@@lindadechiazza2924 He wasn't flawless. Your judgement is clouded because looking at him is enough for you. That's what his character was all about: dumb eyecandy and a role like that is a disgrace for the franchise. Looks don't create nor define a character.
That movie was TERRIBLE. I couldn't even finish it.😂
i love him too but i hated that character.
it was badly written. also melissa macarthy plays the same type of character in just about every movie she is in. plus the writers missed a perfect opportunity to portray a black woman as the smart one of the group.
If Peter was going to be inserted as a ghost in the final frames, you would wonder of Egon will get the same treatment in ‘Afterlife’ in 2021
egon IS a ghost who comes back to help his granddaughter ( who IS also related to him in real life and plays the main gal character in Afterlife) to fight Gozer Resurrected - and Murray , Akroyd , and Hudson DO come back in Uniform as well to fight together with Egon Ghost and the teen cast in afterlife . VERY AWESOME
@@MrSpankyourbutt they knocked it out of the park with how they handled that.
@@MrSpankyourbutt Yeah, some of the ideas from the unproduced GB3: Hellbent movie were incorporated into GB: Afterlife. The breakup of the OG Ghostbusters, a deceased OG character returning as a ghost, the passing of the torch to a new generation of Ghostbusters, Winston Zedmore becoming a rich CEO type.
Ghostbusters 3 wasn’t cancelled. It was turned into Ghostbusters The Video Game.
Plus we were watching & playing a 3rd movie.
Arguably better.
YES! THANK YOU!!
SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAS SOME COMMON SENSE!!!
(I think in an interview even Dan Akroyd said as much!)
Yup!
And what a fun adventure it was to have everyone reprise their role
@@PhillipLemmonyeah, it’s in the video you probably just forgot, it’s ok
Edit: it’s ok was towards your not realizing the video touched on your point, the game is great
Ghostbusters 3 sounded awesome , the duality of earth and hell...wow that could have been epic.
Maybe they can finally float the story to hellbound
We all try hard to forget the 2016 incident.
What incident???
Best sequel is "Ghostbusters: the videogame", serious, is like play the third movie that never was made, and the cutscenes from the actors talking about the game, those scenes made my eyes sweat!
That Tatum/Pratt/Russo Bros version sounded pretty interesting. Kinda wish we'd seen that. The 2016 reboot was.... tough to watch.
now with the After Life released last weekend. They nailed it! After Life tied in the past. paid its respects, and built to start a new chapter. here's to the next chapters to our beloved GHOSTBUSTERS
Ernie Hudson and his character didn't get enough love IMO
He is so disrespected. He even auditioned for his own character's voice in the original Real Ghostbusters cartoon and didn't get it, they gave it to Arsenio Hall instead. That dude is a class act and the other three should have been kissing his ass.
I agree some how, also from the time Winston got onboard I saw the character with alot in his resume technical mechanical plus gain new skills within Ghostbusters too. Ernie has alot of acting credits.
I always noticed that too. The Real Ghostbusters cartoon respected his character better than the movies did in my opinion. The movies kinda treated him like a third wheel. But honestly his character could have been written a lot better. I believe the Ghostbusters novelization had far more of his backstory that was subsequently written out of the script. He was fresh out of the USAF, former EOD and looking for a job. His character represented us, an everyman thrown in to a world of unknowns and technical jargon. Perhaps he himself said it best, "If theres a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say"
@@knowone2185 I didn't need an essay
@@seanlamar29 Oh shut up
I would have seen a Ghostbusters 3 but I'm looking forward to Ghostbusters afterlife
Thank god for "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". It truly felt like the Ghostbusters 3 that we’ve long deserved.
You dhould play the video game
To me, Frozen Empire wasn't that good, I don't like the plot, I like all the characters, Sony should Nintendo-ify The Ghostbusters Cinematic Universe to defeat Disney
I'm so glad Jason is taking over the reins and directing Not only is it in his blood but he's a fan
Hard to believe that after the 2nd film released, in the period of 1990 to 2014, this 3rd Ghostbusters film was struggling to get it off the ground. From various film scripts, to industry insiders wondered if this film will ever happen, to Bill Murray himself being asked the same burning question “will they’ll be a another one?” It was a development mess. With now an official video game and… a disastrous 2016 film reboot, the film was finally off the ground. Along with an untimely passing of Harold Ramis, It’s just as apparent to finish what has started and bring everyone back to the fold.
Seeing Bill, Dan & Ernie (along with Annie and Sigourney) back together on the screen after over 3 decades in their outfits and their photon packs brought a big smile to my face along with the easter eggs. “Afterlife” was not only bittersweet 3rd installment, but it also brought a lot of closure to this franchise & to its worldwide fandom. Jason Reitman did his father proud and gave it weight and heart to this film.
As a fan of this franchise, Thank you to Jason, Ivan, the cast (the original and the new) for finally bringing this long awaited 3rd installment to fruition.
It’s now a trilogy and we can close the chapter on this film and start moving forward with this franchise and honor its legacy, but at end of the day, It took a group of parapsychologists and a new employee to change the world.
For Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler & Winston Zeddemore, they’re the brave, the best, the beautiful, the only…. #Ghostbusters.
Well said 👍
@@SupervoidCinema Thank you!!
@@SupervoidCinema Bill Murray was the major roadblock to Ghostbusters 3 ,but Dan Akroyd is almost as bad a roadblock , he keeps trying to turn "Ghostbusters" into "Demension-Jumpers" ,,, Ghostbusters get paid for removing ghost from customers in NY and sometimes they do a freebie to you know save the world ,,that's who Ghostbusters ARE ,, but DAN keeps trying to make them crusaders on a "mission" to go into and seal off dangerous demensions on their own coin mind you ,,,needless to say the studios continued to be uncomfortable with his approach ,,,🤔👍👍
1992 - 1998 would had been the best time for Ghostbusters 3...
Nah no way, it would have been another indiana jones & the crystal skulls dated looking borefest, aside from egon not been here I think history will prove bill murray was right all along coz I think afterlife will be amazing
@@mrfreeze2446lol look what we got now😅😅😅😅😅😅
Teared up when he quoted Bill Murray saying “we’re a man down”.
The Real Ghostbusters series had so many good ideas for a third film .,
I think my best takeaway from this project’s tenure in development hell is simply that creativity won out in the end. The detour that Sony took with the “Ghost Corps” approach thankfully went down in flames after the 2016 reboot tanked. Don’t get me wrong, Lord and Miller, the Russos, and some of the creatives involved are very talented, but the entire premise of a REBOOTED timeline is moronic. The issue also becomes FAR more apparent when you follow Sony’s internal politics at the time. The 2014 E-mail leaks painted a troubling picture of a studio rife with ego, incompetence, stupidity, and outright cruelty, and this would have creatively tanked that universe. Now that people like Amy Pascal and Paul Feig are out of the picture, I have far more confidence in the future of this property.
It's amazing how the studio went from having no interest in a Ghostbusters 3 to suddenly wanting to do a whole cinematic universe. It's the same crap that Universal and WB tried to do around the same time, with their respective monster movie universe/DCEU. They all rushed onto the cinematic universe hype train without creating much of a plan, just "call some people and start making countless movies ASAP!"
@@TechnologicallyTechnical agreed. And I really couldn’t shake the feeling there was something personal against Ivan reitman. The political maneuvering to remove him just doesn’t sit well with me.
Don’t watch ghostbusters: afterlife then lol
@@pulpted9937 I’ve heard good things about it
Sadly, I doubt Sony learned anything. They just manipulated fans a lot less this time around to get them to open their wallets. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed Afterlife and think that is was as respectful to both Ramis and to the original films as it could have been. My Ghostcorp did the fans dirty and as far as I'm concerned burned a lot of good will after they tried to manipulate the fandom to cover up for Answer the Call's failure.
Okay, I just saw this new Ghostbuster movie and I loved it. I honestly enjoyed every moment. Great job!! Ghosterbuster's Afterlife....FANTASTIC!
I’m still hoping that ghostbuster afterlife will be a version of Dan’s “hellbent”.. with the background story based on an event after GB2 where Gozer returned and took the guys to the afterlife with exception to egon who spent his remaining years trying to get them back but passed on and his grandkids and their mates find clues to what happened and try and finish what egon started.
Well. You got close with this comment.
Ghostbusters is one of those movies I can honestly claim to have seen over a hundred times. I never get sick of it and consider it a perfect film. While the sequel was not as good as the original, I highly enjoyed it as well and remember seeing it several times upon its release. Being 10 at the time, I was already craving a 3rd film and did my own idea of Peter and Dana honeymooning in Hawaii only for an ancient supernatural evil to surface. I had envisioned a hula ghost in the open sequence and having the island covered in snow. So when talks of a third Ghostbusters came to light I was excited and devoured any news that leaked. Then Harold's death hit and I thought part 3 was gone for good so the reboot was all we are going to get. I will say I didn't think it awful, but it wasn't in the vein of what came before. So upon hearing of Afterlife and seeing the trailers I felt we were finally getting our part 3 with the spirit of Ramis spread through out. I think Jason's film will continue the magic his father created.
Ricks wife died from breast cancer so he left acting to raise his kids .what a dad😊
But those kids grew up, no it is time to let it go
I’m so sad that Harold Ramis never got to see what a masterpiece Ghostbusters Afterlife is
Oh that made me physically sick to read that.
That was a shameless cash grab with so much product placement
I tell you right now, had I been a multimillionaire I would’ve bankrolled these guys in a heartbeat
This is a brilliant documentary. Thank you. So many clips I’d not seen before. Really enjoyed it. Wishing you all the very best from England.
Outstanding information and editing, well done. Thank you for spending what must have been tons of time on this, it shows!
I would have loved a short Farley cameo instead. Like he tries on the jumpsuit and rips it and decides he's not fit to be a Ghostbuster and just quietly exits.
Ty for this. I rarely find a YT video this long (Apart from a rip.) and actually enjoy it all the way through. Well researched and overall an appreciative edit. Kudos!
I am a huge Ghostbusters fan! I don't remember much of watching it when I was little but around when I was 14 my love for the movie truly expanded once I saw and appreciated it. Afterlife definitely didn't disappoint me, the characters were done so well and that third final act was amazing!
Awesome, this should be great!
If they had gone with the Ghostbusters 3 idea in which the Ghostbusters have become a huge corporation with multiple branches and many employees. They could have easily turned it into a cinematic universe. One in which there are multiple Ghostbusters teams with their own movies and even shows. I don’t think they should make a cinematic universe out of The Ghostbusters Franchise but it could have definitely been done
Loved the video well done! There is so much that I didn’t know about the cancelled scripts but I was hooked to your video. Roll on ghostbusters afterlife
Its interesting they think that people speaking different languages is 'the worst of modern life personified'.
This is a great documentary! You guys did a fantastic job! The narrator sounds great!
I still remember the excitement I got after seeing this film with my brothers... I had 13 years old and I always loved this film; 80's was very prolific decade for filmmakers, a lot of beloved IP's come from that decade. A shame one of the original cast passed away... Rest In Peace Harold Ramis. Thanks a lot for this documentary I really enjoyed.
Amazing video. Thank you for going into depth and talking about this history. I can just tell a lot of work went into this. Thank you.
Oh God, the look on Dan Aykroyd's face when he talks about Ghostbusters 3 and Bill Murray. Pain.
you have no idea how long ive waited for "ghostbusters3" ever since i was a kid seeing 1 and 2 i always wondered what 3rd would be like and when from searching up news on it online to watching fake trailers. its been a long time growing up and now that im older and finally seeing a well made new ghostbusters film really makes it worth it the video game was also very great i see it as the official ghostbuster3 but in a different universe i love this franchise so much and im so glad its alive.
Fantastic! That was damn good! I'm so ready to watch GB Afterlife!!
This is a really great summation of all that’s gone on with GB3. Thanks for making it!
I always thought a great idea for a soft-reboot/sequel would be the cult-classic cartoon 'Extreme Ghostbusters'! We need a live-action Haley Griffin NOW! But that being said, I'm still stoked for 'Afterlife'! =)
I don't know. That was a sequel to the Real Ghostbusters, which wasn't canon to the movies. Plus, it would have to be an origin story, considering the characters aren't as universally recognized as the original team of four. Plus I don't think Sony would want to bring back a cartoon from over 20 years ago that only lasted about 40 episodes. Maybe a revival special would work well, though.
@@bubbythebear6891 I wouldn't be against that idea either. =) But honestly, weirder things have happened...
Tabetha Carr I just thought I should let you known it's actually Kylie Griffin as I remember Extreme Ghostbusters as well. I hope you don't mind me pointing that out.
@@tomspence8506 No problem. My mistake. I've never been good with names, and I never got to see the show. (But I want to!) =)
@@BuckarooBanzai84 You're welcome Tabetha. Some Extreme Ghostbusters episodes have been uploaded here one CZcams if you're interested.
You didn’t even mention the as-of-yet unmade ANIMATED Ghostbusters flick. That one was allegedly going to be told from the ghost’s POV and feature “villainous” Ghostbusters who try to capture our mild-mannered, undead hero.
I donno, I kinda like that take. I figure the protagonist’s design would hem closer to the Ghostbuster’s logo, instead of any of the previously seen ghosts, which is kinda a shame. But at the same time, this is clearly a PG-rated concept. A sorta spooky family film where the Ghost is the hero and the exorcist-analog is the thing going bump in the night. If it played like Casper meets Mouse Hunt, it could be really special. I can see tons of opportunity for large scale scifi inventiveness. The kinda scope and scale and detail that Dan Akroyd lives for, but which l would be impossible in live-action, if only because of the star salaries.
The Ghostbusters told from the Ghost’s POV could also offer some moving meditations on life and death and everything inbetween.
Plus, they’d pretty much HAVE to show us what getting caught in a ghost containment unit looks like! I’ve been wondering that for YEARS!
The Real Ghostbusters - Flip Side
Plenty of other animated episodes would make great live action adaptations too
Love hearing all these facts about my favorite movie series. I really hope the new one does really well, it’s looking great.
I love your work, thank you for sharing it with us!!!
This is excellent. Well done my friend.
Just what I needed man
I believe Bill is notorious for being quite hard to work with. Not just he and the fellas had issues but others as well. Plus for me I love the man but every performance of his sounds the same, he’s not phoning it in but everything he does sounds like he wants to be somewhere else
For me Ghostbusters 2 is my favorite of the whole franchise, the first is definitely the better film but I absolutely adore the second film. I love the story, the characters even more, the humor, the slime, Vigo, the music (especially Flip City), and the scares. I’ll always love the film and will also never understand the hate it once had.
Absolutely fantastic video with everything I needed to see and hear.
Fantastic video, this was made for 14 year old me. I'm 46 now and I got goosebumps just by watching your video. Fantastic job recollecting all the info. I can't wait for Afterlife and will go to the theater in full gear, and I will do it in honor of my younger self.
Absolutely amazing video. So much work to get all the info together. Thanks for making this. 👍👍. As a huge ghostbusters fan it was great to watch. I remember an urban myth back in the very early 90’s where GB3 would take place in a gigantic haunted mansion complex and one of the team dies. Did the rounds for a while. :-0
one of those cases where you want to keep quiet about the project until it's actually happening. this whole "yeah yeah yeah it's almost here" thing is sad
Dan Aykroyd had no way of knowing that Sony was going to royally f*ck him. I actually feel bad for him. Thank God GB 2016 failed miserably. They don't deserve the potential revenue.
@@harrycollins3248 fair enough. but also, he couldn't figure to keep quiet for 30 years? I'm just saying in cases like this, just work at it, then promote.
though i guess in the end he's still working on it, so all is good
@@danielwarner3675 I agree if there was nothing substantial as far as a 3rd Ghostbuster film he shouldn't have been going on television and acting like it was green lit. But I kind of feel like in his own weird way Dan was trying to keep the franchise alive? I don't know.
@@harrycollins3248 yeah, i can understand that. i probably wouldn't be able to shut up about my own project that i loved this much either.
and in a way i'm sure it did help keep the interest over the years
I watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and I loved it. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was very good, though I felt it got a bit too fan-service heavy in the last 30 minutes or so. I watched Ghostbusters 2016 in a theater with two other people just as it was about to fall out of theaters, and none of us remembered specific parts of it. It was a nearly 3 hour long wall of sound where no one was capable of even 2 seconds of silence. What I am saying is Ghostbusters 2016 was the exact moment where the Judd Apatow style of ad-libbed comedy failed. Sure Ghostbusters movies before the 2016 movie had ad-libbed moments, but those came in around a script and actors that were capable of finding their characters without ad-libbing for several hours first.
Holy shit my man been grinding, glad to see you uploading so often, these videos are god-tier.
This was a incredible video so much info!!
Another one of my requests I made! Thank you so much!😍
Next:
- Cancelled history of Ant-Man (incl. Edgar Wright's version)
- Cancelled history of Wonder Woman (Incl. Joss Whedon's version)
- Cancelled history of Black Panther (incl. Wesley Snipes as Black Panther)
Another wonderful video on an otherwise sore subject: while Bill Murry's passive aggressive resistance was a major factor in the third film never getting made, I also feel the writers should have played it smart and simply write his character out of the story without the lazy death card but instead with the long forgotten movie technique of simple exposition that would have allowed Vankman, Diana, and Oscar to live happily into that off-camera sunset ("Vankman is with his family across country; he couldn't get here in time even if he tried") and save so much trouble in turn. Sadly, I don't think either the writers and especially the studio heads weren't hip to the idea (too dumb?) or were desperate to placate Murry.
I think I'm on Murray's side though. His involvement hinges on any script being good.
its because ghostbusters two kinda sucked. it had some good moments, but its no where near as good as the first movie. murray stated many times didn't like the finished film.
Or just come up with a better story. Hellbent sounded like trash and Murray is justified for passing up on it.
@@nepntzerZer It doesn’t suck. It’s just not as good or better than the first film which is pretty common. Only Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Dark Knight, Aliens, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan can be better sequels. 🤣
@@trealsteve Spider-Man 2 was better too. And Hellboy II.
I just LOVE your videos!!! This was so well done!!!!
Thanks a lot!
awesome documentary, as usual. It was very impressive.
It’s amazing how all the alternative versions of G3 before Feig’s inclusion actually sound really interesting. It’s really a shame we didn’t get those films.
I think another reason for 2016 GB's failure that this video did not mention is that it was simply not what fans wanted. Like with the failed Hellboy reboot, 2016 GB was a reboot nobody wanted. Fans wanted a proper sequel. And they finally got one now with GB: Afterlife.
According to recent reports, Ernie Hudson felt the 2016 GB should not have been a reboot, but a spin-off instead. I totally agree.
Funny how instead of referring to the reboot as a reboot they called it "The Female One". Brilliant lol
Winston was WAY better than Patty. He was the every man. The lay man. He was never reduced to "The Black One". But in Patty's case her character is basically "The Black chick". Such a terribly written movie.
There were so many actors rumored throughout the years to be new Ghostbusters. Chris Farley, David Spade, Will Smith, Brendon Frasier, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Steve Carell, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum. I remember reading back around 2000 that Jack Nicholson was wanted for the role of the mayor of the hellish version of New York.
dxtripleh1014 "HEEEEERE'S JOHNNY"
Ghostbusters II was really good.
Ghostbusters 3: Hellbent would've been interesting today because of the concept
Especially knowing New York is not far from it
Awesome. This is a Sensational Channel!!!
Great documentary and excellent narration voice, great video, thanks.
