"I honestly don’t know. At this point it’s in suspended animation. The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn’t want to be involved. He’s got six kids, houses all over America. He golfs in these tournaments where they pay him to turn up and have a laugh. He’s into this life and living it. I know we’d have a lot of fun [but] I can’t be mad at him. He’s a friend first, a colleague second. We have a deep personal relationship that transcends business and he doesn’t want to know."Aykroyd also clarified some of the rumors that came out earlier this month about the possibility of replacing Murray's character of Peter Venkman, ala James Bond or Jack Ryan:
“We’re not going to do a movie that exploits the franchise. The script has to be perfect. I’m the cheerleader, but I’m only one voice in the matter. It’s a surety that Bill Murray will not do the movie, however there is still interest from the studio."I'm actually a little angry about the news. I really want to see another Ghostbusters movie on the big screen, especially because I was too young to see the first two in theaters. However, without question, Murray needs to be apart of it. Its just so frustrating that he has this complete unwillingness to be apart of it. In some interviews, its almost like Ghostbusters is this burden he has to carry around with him...even though it's pretty much what helped make him the superstar he is today.
This is a custom made touch sensitive lamp after the fashion of the Super Mario Brothers question mark blocks that appear throughout the series. It’s 6 inches by 6 inches by 6 inches, and made of laser-cut plexiglass and lit from inside by energy-efficient LEDs. The lamp is very light and suspended from an integrated 11-foot power cord, so it’s ready to be hung from a hook on your ceiling and plugged directly into an outlet. The internal power supply is 100v-240v compatible, so the lamp will work even abroad with just a simple plug adapter. If you want to use the lamp on a side table or by your bed, we offer a custom acrylic stand (sold separately).
To turn the lamp on and off, merely punch, ahem, I mean touch, the bottom of the cube and you’ll be rewarded with both light and the classic coin noise. Every eight times you toggle the light, you’ll get a 1-UP! It’s very bright in a dark room and still visible in daylight.Each lamp will set you back a cool $74.99, but if you'd like to take a go at assembling it yourself, they offer a kit with everything you need (excluding soldering iron, solder, some hot glue and superglue) for $54.99. You can also pick up a desk lamp stand for an additional $15.
"As Virgin Galactic gets closer to becoming the world's first commercial space line, Playboy is eagerly pondering the creation of the ultimate intergalactic entertainment destination," Playboy editorial director Jimmy Jellinek said in a statement. "This heaven-in-the-heavens will exceed starry-eyed travelers' wildest dreams, and guests will truly experience a party that's out of this world."Conceptual art by Thomas Tenery, which appears in Playboy's March issue, depicts a wheel-shaped space station complete with zero gravity dance floor, casino with "human roulette", five-star restaurant, and game room. Oh and what Playboy club in space would be complete without genuine bunnies flying on jet packs serving you drinks? There would also be private "orbital pleasure domes" allowing patrons to view Earth during their romantic bang sessions.
"The entire Kama Sutra will have to be reimagined according to the rules of zero-gravity physics," Playboy writers A.J. Baime and Jason Harper wrote.Don't look to book a trip to Playboy Club Space anytime soon, as Virgin Galactic's ticket prices are a little on the steep side...$200,000 steep; oh and the fact that a space station of this magnitude and opulence would most likely cost over $500 billion dollars...yeah...

HERE IS A MAJOR FLOOR OR IN GROUND SAFE. IT LOOKS LIKE TO BE A 7" DOOR MEASURED ACROSS. IT IS A COMBINATION LOCK UNIT... I DID NOT GET THE COMBINATION FOR THE UNIT .SO YOU WILL HAVE TO CONTACT THE MAJOR SAFE COMPANY TO GET THE COMBINATION OR FIND SOMEONE THAT CAN OPEN THE UNIT UP./
RETURNS: THERE ARE NO RETURNS. ALL MERCHANDISE SOLD AS IS. PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO REFUND YOUR MONEY.The winner of the auction paid $122.93 for the safe. Once he received it and got it open, he discovered it contained $26,000 in cash. Upon hearing the news, James promptly reached out to the buyer requesting half of the found cash. Not surprisingly, the buyer declined, quoting James' own disclaimer back to him: "THERE ARE NO RETURNS. ALL MERCHANDISE SOLD AS IS. PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO REFUND YOUR MONEY."
A couple weeks ago, photos of Playmates new Ninja Turtle's line popped up online from this year's Toy Fair. Now we are getting a better look at Nickelodeon's new series thanks to the folks over at Toy Ark.
"Bill Murray is not capable of such behaviour. This is simply something that would not be in his nature. We have a deep, private personal relationship that transcends business. We communicate frequently and his position on the involvement in Ghostbusters 3 has been made clear and I respect that. But Bill has too much positive estimation of my writing skills to shred the work."I personally don't see anywhere in Dan's comments that they would potentially recast Venkman in a new film, but who knows. When it comes to Murray's feelings on Ghostbusters its a mixed bag. One minute he says he'd be interested given the script and the other minute he wants no part. However, I think recasting him would be a mistake of biblical proportions...like real wrath of god stuff.

"In no way do I speak for Ridley Scott but if you’re asking me will this movie have anything to do with Harrison Ford, the answer is no. This is a total reinvention and in my mind that means doing everything fresh, including casting."Since the announcement last March, many have been wondering what a new Blade Runner film would be: a sequel, prequel or reboot. If Ford were to sign on, the film would most definitely be a sequel; unless of course it would be as a cameo, which I personally don't think Ford would do.
- RORSCHACH (4 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: Lee BermejoRumblings of the prequel have been going on for a while now. This past Christmas, comics site Bleeding Cool posted concept art by J.G. Jones and Andy and Joe Kubert that featured The Comedian and Nite Owl from what was claimed to be a WATCHMEN prequel comic. DC's legal team quickly had the artwork removed, which ultimately fueled the rumors that the project was in development.

“The original series of WATCHMEN is the complete story that Alan Moore and I wanted to tell. However, I appreciate DC’s reasons for this initiative and the wish of the artists and writers involved to pay tribute to our work. May these new additions have the success they desire,” said Dave Gibbons, WATCHMEN co-creator and original series artist."Although some fans may be hungry for more WATCHMEN stories, I think a number of them are against the idea of expanding on the world Moore and Gibbons created. I personally think DC should leave it alone. The original novel did a fantastic job fleshing out the characters by making them extremely human (with the exception of Dr. Manhattan) and gave them enough depth that you don't really need a prequel. Not everything needs to be a franchise.
