Reel Facts & Opinions

FACT: Ivan Reitman, director of GHOSTBUSTERS, recently said in an interview concerning the long-gestating GHOSTBUSTERS 3, that “there’s a very good script” and “…we’re just waiting for Bill Murray to read it”.

OPINION: Take your time, Bill. We all know that Ivan really wants to get the band back together so he can make the world forget about his past efforts such as NO STRINGS ATTACHED and MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND. Maybe by the time Murray gets around to reading it, Harold Ramis will have dropped the 564 pounds he’s gained since the wonderful GHOSTBUSTERS 2.

FACT: Robert Zemeckis’ planned motion-capture CG animated YELLOW SUBMARINE remake has been scrapped by The Walt Disney Co. Budget issues, plus a dwindling audience for mo-cap films seem to be a factor.

OPINION: All that plus the Zemeckis produced CG stinker MARS NEEDS MOMS tanked at the box office. Maybe all this will bring Zemeckis back into the live action film business, which he used to pretty good at. Just as long as it isn’t GUMP 2.

FACT: Oscar-winning musician Trent Reznor (never thought you would read that, did you?), has opted out of doing the score for ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER.

OPINION: Could have been interesting. This blogger votes for Nick Cave to take
over.

What say you?
