We ain’t afraid of no sequel.

Ivan Reitman, producer/director of Ghostbusters 1 and 2, says that “a very good script” has just been finished for the long-anticipated sequel. Bill Murray is the central star in the script.

In past discussions of Ghostbusters 3, franchise stars Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson have said they would be interested in reprising their roles … but Reitman also cautions that “nothing you’ve read on the Internet is accurate.” We’re only hoping that doesn’t include the rumor that SNL's Bill Hader is somehow tied to the project.

Most sources also say that Ghostbusters co-star Rick Moranis will not come out of retirement to reprise his role as accountant Louis Tully. Moranis left the entertainment business in the late '90s following his wife’s death.

DVD REVIEW:  Trading Places: Special Collector’s Edition

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Classics, Comedy, New Releases, DVD Reviews,

Last week, I was faced with a very difficult decision:  Could I find a new DVD to review other than Norbit?  The pickings were very slim, so I ultimately chose to make a compromise.  Rather than endure a painful Eddie Murphy exhibition, I elected to watch him at his best—- in the new Trading Places (Special Collector’s Edition).

Not only did I reacquaint myself with a comedy that has remained fresh since its 1983 debut, I had the chance to see extras that were not included in the movie’s initial DVD offering.  In fact, most of the footage had not even been seen since the movie was originally released.

A quick synopsis for those who haven’t had the opportunity to see the film even once:  Two rich, old businessmen (Mortimer and Randolph Duke) decide to make a bet while testing out the Nature vs. Nurture theory.  Could they force their trust-worthy assistant (Dan Akyroyd) into a life of crime by taking away his livelihood….or would his good breeding and skills carry him through?  And could they make a street criminal (Eddie Murphy) into a valued employee by giving him a good home and clothes….or would he eventually resort back to his old ways?
