Mark Caplan, VP of Licensing, Sony Pictures, offers, "For now, we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of the franchise. The game and the Blu-Ray release will have a big impact on all of us. And we'll decide what to do from there...We looked at the library of properties that we have at Sony Pictures, and we felt Ghostbusters had all the properties inherent in a film that would translate to a videograme. It had built-in recognition and had suitable content for a wide audience."
Harold Ramis, who co-wrote and co-starred in the original films, recently expressed skepticism, noting, "I'm not counting on anything. For me, I've loved the Ghostbusters -- the whole concept of it has been great in my life. I'm happy to do another movie if the script was worthy. If it never happened, I'd be fine."
Points out the game's executive producer Brendan Goss, "There's no question that the game being announced and coming out has really brought Ghostbusters back into the spotlight."
The waiting game continues.
