‘Ghostbusters 3’ in Theaters by Christmas 2012!
Film Shaft caught a report on ABC 7 that contradicts everything Bill Murray said a few weeks back about the looming Ghostbusters 3, which is on the brink of entering development hell. While Murray exclaimed the reasoning was the studios lack of faith in director/star Harold Ramis (after the epic failure Year One), Dan Akroyd said he needed to tell Murray to “stop acting like a jerk.” While we debate who’s holding up the project, Ramis told ABC 7 that we’ll be seeing the Busters suit up by Christmas 2012! Read on for the skinny.
“Well, there’s been a lot of talk about a third Ghostbusters film, which has now become real,” he tells ABC 7. “It’s… I can say with some certainty that there will be a third movie. It won’t be out until Christmas 2012, but the work is going on now.”
Ivan Reitman is said to return to the director’s chair with Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver all committed to return (although varied reports tell the contrary).
Penned by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, with rewrites already turned in, the sequel will follow a new breed of Ghost Busters who are passed the torch.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
