Ghostbusters 3 News

Here’s some Ghostbusters 3 news that we like. As we mentioned earlier, Michael Cera seemed to want to be in Ghostbusters 3. Now, he appears to have changed his mind.

In an interview with USA Today, he said: “Ghostbusters is the most influential movie of my childhood. And I would not want to be the reason that Ghostbusters was all of a sudden bad.”

We’re kind of relieved. Very relieved indeed, in fact. But of course, nothing is certain about Ghostbusters 3 – we don’t even know if it will be made or not. So Michael Cera excluding himself doesn’t necessarily mean that he won’t turn out to be a major character in the film. But it’s a strong indication that he won’t. Let’s enjoy it while it lasts.

We’ve noted before that Michael Cera really wants to be a part of ‘Ghostbusters 3′. The Calgary Herald has noted the same thing, and speculates about whether Cera wouldn’t be a good choice to play Dr. Raymond Stantz, who was played by Dan Aykroyd in the two original Ghostbusters movies. The paper bases that on Cera’s nerdy type, as he is known for playing geeky but lovable types.

The nerdy Dr. Stantz might indeed be a good role for him, but isn’t Cera much too young to play him? Surely Dr. Stantz would be in his 60s or early 70s by now, and Cera is just 22. We say no deal, unless Ghostbusters 3 turn into some time-travelling spectacular.
We sincerely hope not.
