Consipiracies about Ghostbusters

So... Was the game cancelled? Or was it
"cancelled"?

From the article:

"Ghostbusters" scares up "Office" writers
By Borys Kit and Leslie Simmons

TORONTO/LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Who's Sony going to call to pen its reboot
of "Ghostbusters?"

Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg.

The studio has recruited "The Office" writer-producers to work on a new installment of the
1980s franchise that starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis as
bumbling ghost-hunting scientists.

The original filmmakers, including director Ivan Reitman, and cast are aware of the project
and involved in its development. Some original cast members might be involved, but not in
central roles.

Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, who are nominated for an Emmy for the NBC sitcom "The
Office," already have the support of one Ghostbuster in Ramis. The duo penned with Ramis
the biblical comedy "Year One," which is produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Ramis,
and scheduled for release in 2009 by Sony.

"Ghostbusters" was Sony's top-grossing film ever until it was surpassed by "Men in Black,"
which in turn was outdone by all three "Spider-Man" films. The 1984 film grossed $292
million worldwide, and its 1989 sequel brought in another $215 million globally.

What would be a more profitable sequel, do you think? A game or a movie?

Er...but why not both?

It's not like the game would somehow prevent them from making a movie...in point of fact, it is usually something they strive for, movie/game synergy.

It will be delayed until the movie comes out. Or they will just come out with another Ghost Busters game with 100% more horribleness to tie into the movie.

I think Bill Murray(plus the GB's age) is the thing holding the movie back. I just want this game to come out. I'm a huge GB fan

To pull it last second was total crap - and I wouldn't have been surprised to see this as both a movie and a game release...

Not necessarily simultaneously or with the exact storyline, but within a year to get people on the bandwagon and more stoked than I already was.

It actually sounded like the broken economy here is what is taking the studio apart. What does it sound like to you guys?

As long as we don't get another "Son of the Mask" fiasco...
