Okay, so this page should more accurately be called Screenplay, since there's only
one, and really it's just a treatment.
One day I was reading online about how Bill Murray was not really interested in making a Ghostbusters III film unless he died in the opening segment. I started searching, and it was apparent to me that he didn't appear too thrilled about making another Ghostbusters film.
That night, I went to bed with an idea that I couldn't let go. Over the next week, I felt compelled to put my ideas together. I prepared a screenplay treatment and sent it to everyone I could think of. I sent it to Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman. I also sent it to their agents or companies, of which one responded saying he refused to read it because they "do not accept unsolicited material." I even tried contacting Columbia Pictures. In the meantime, I began working on the actual screenplay. It's on the backburner now, because after months of trying, nobody responded back that they had read the treatment.
In case anyone is interested in the version I had envisioned, feel free to read it here. In the interest of full disclosure, Sony holds the copyrights to Ghostbusters, it's characters and equipment. I hold the copyright to everything else in the treatment. Enjoy!

Ghostbusters III
*UPDATE* The latest word is that Ghostbusters 3 is scheduled to start filming at the beginning of next year, with or without Bill Murray. Rumors about filming, even from integral people in the project, have been flying for years. This time, it sounds a little more serious, but time will tell. I would love to see a third film in the franchise, if done right, but I can't imagine it feeling quite right without Bill Murray. Bill, are you listening? One more time...whaddya say? Please?
