Rumoermongering

Hey folks, Nick here, and I got a juicy piece of gossip today. Some of my well-placed spies in H-wood floated a rumor my way that can be best described as Ghostbusters: Brown Bunny edition.

Do you like ghosts? (Applause in the affirmative.) Do you like ghostBUSTERS? (More applause.) Do you like Ghostbusters ... sucking dick?!

Well if some in the H-wood suits have their way, you may just see that, in what could be a drastic new direction for the script: a hard R-rated GB3, done mockumentary style, that follows the GBs into a haunted prison, and we see the ghosts of prisoners (and, inexplicably, the "ghosts" of their crimes). I'm talking Ray Stantz in a shower-rape scene with ghosts, I'm talking Venkman burning his own face off when the ghost of a child molester "slimes" him in an especially disturbing way, and I'm talking, folks, about Winston getting hate-crimed to DEATH by the white supremacist ghosts in the laundry!

Perhaps the only thing more distressing than this news is the "Ghosts of Ghosbusters Past" sublot, which sees a CGI John Belushi, "playing" a long-dead Stantz colleague, rise from the dead to pick up a ghostly proton pack (made of what?! ectoplasm?!), and then recruit the CGI ghost of Jonh Candy (which appeared to be just edited images of Uncle Buck thrown up on screen, if what I've seen is anything to go on), Chris Farley, and Keith Moon. You see the ghost of Phil Hartman briefly but the ghost of Andy Dick does something to him off camera. I don't know, the footage I saw was poor quality, it was smuggled to my on an iPod touch via a well-placed spy. What does these spectral GBs do? They unite in their positive energy and attempt a last-ditch rescue effort to save the remaining ghostbusters from the prison. Sounds pretty dumb, but the ghost Ecto-1 (called Ecto Ecto-1) was pretty badass.

I remain hopeful that this is some kind of joke rough draft or something, test footage, whatever ... I really don't want to see this franchise go they way of Cloverfield ...
