Ghostbusters 3?

Its been awhile since I last wrote, its probably because nothing interesting has happened in the last 6 months.  But being the new year, I decided to at least make an attempt at some sort of blog to start the year.  So I decided to write about a thought that has been passing through my mind for the last year.  

For the last few years, most of the major hits at the movies have been sequels.  Recently studios and filmmakers have been going further back in time and releasing sequels to famous films.  It all started with the pre-quels so the "Star Wars" films.  They were very successful, and caused filmmakers to look back instead of trying to come up with an original ideas.  It wasn't long before there was talk of an other "Rocky" film.  It took awhile to materialize, but "Rocky Balboa" finally was released.  It did moderately well, and it wasn't long before "Die Hard 4" , and a "Ninja Turtles" came out.  The "Rambo 4" trailer has hit the theaters, and pretty soon the long awaited "Indiana Jones 4" will be coming out.

All this got me thinking, Ok, what will be the next one?  All the successful films from the 80's and early 90's had been done or will be released shortly.  But there was one childhood favorite that hasn't been mentioned yet, "Ghostbusters 3."  Ghostbusters was one of those films that took over my childhood and I'm probably sure it did to a lot of other people my age.  All I can find is that there are rumors of it possibly being in development, and that it could turn out to be an animated film like the new Ninja Turtles.  My hope is that the Ghostbusters will return to the screen in the next year or two.  It would be perfect for all the fans, make the series a trilogy, and it would be just awesome.
