Sony Pictures refuses to let the idea of Ghostbusters 3 fade away. They have now hired the screenwriter of Men In Black 3, Etan Cohen to rewrite the script. Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky were the last guys to take a crack at writing it but as we reported last week, Bill Murray didn’t feel the scripts were good enough.

Other than writing Men In Black 3, Cohen has written Idiocracy and Tropic Thunder. He will make his feature directorial debut with Paramount’s horror-comedy Boy Scouts vs. Zombies.

Sure, he’s (co)written some funny movies but is he the man that will finally write a great script for Ghostbusters 3? It’s been speculated for quite sometime that the threequel would see the original Ghostbusters  (Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray) pass the torch to a new generation of Ghostbusters. Is that really a movie anyone wants to see though? I grew up with the first two movies and love them, I just watched Ghostbusters 2 last night actually, but it’s been twenty-three years since the last one came out. I think a third movie just couldn’t possibly live up to the first two. I think Sony just needs to let this one go.
