Ghostbusters 3?

The director of the first two Ghostbuster films, Ivan Reitman announced today that Ghostbusters 3 will shoot in early 2015, but he won’t be directing it.
This news comes as a bit of a surprise after the recent death of Harold Ramis.
Ghostbusters 3 has been in development hell for nearly three decades. Bill Muarry has been very outspoken in the past about not wanting to be involved, so it’s unlikely that he will appear. As recent as 2013 Dan Akroyd stated that Ghostbusters 3 would centre around a new generation of Ghostbusters-with the originals acting as mentors and passing on the torch.

What do you think, does the world need another Ghostbusters? Let us know below.

After nearly two years of speculation we have finally been teased with a little info about the highly anticipated Star Wars Episode VII.
The film will be set 30-years after the events in return of the Jedi and will focus on a new trio of heroes, with some yet unconfirmed cameos from the original stars.
Lucasfilm also confirmed today that filming will begin in London, in May.
I am ridiculously excited about this film, I grew up on Star Wars and I can’t wait to take my kids to their first official Star Wars experience. May the force be with all of us.

They’ve been rivals in the comic book world for years, now they will battle it out in the cinema.
Marvel announced today that June 6th 2016 will be the release date of Captain America 3. June 6th is also the date for the delayed Batman vs Superman movie. It will be interesting to see how each movie affects the other.
Growing up, I was a DC kid, so I’ll be seeing Batman vs Superman before I see Captain America 3.

I love it. It’s like a modern take on Jon Pertwee’s costume.
Capaldi said of his costume “No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.”

Series 8 is currently filming and is expected to air in August.

Rumours have been rife since it was first announced that Disney will be delivering us a new adventure from a galaxy far, far away. But the original stars would not comment. But now Carrie Fisher has confirmed that she, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill will be returning to Star Wars.

An official announcement has yet to be made by Disney, but I’m willing to accept Fisher at her word.
It was confirmed last week that the script is now complete and that filming will begin in England next month.
