‘Ghostbusters’ Apatow Rumor Complete Bullsh*t
Yet another fire to put out this morning as we finally found something online debunking the hilariously ridiculous rumor that all four original Ghostbusters would be joining the Apatow crew for a reboot of the franchise. We couldn’t stop laughing when this news hit the web as we were openly joking about this at the San Diego Comic Con and somehow it ended up online (the main reason why we didn’t report it). Even though you have to admit it’s a good idea, it’s pretty unlikely that a studio could afford the salaries of eight big names in one film, especially when Murray was holding back the sequel all these years. Inside you can read Paul Rudd’s hilarious reaction to the news.From an interview with MTV:
“MTV: Have you heard about the rumor recently that you’d star in a new “Ghostbusters” movie along with Seth Rogen, Steve Carell and Romany Malco?
Rudd: I’ve heard this rumor. A couple of days ago somebody asked me that, and that was the first I’d heard about it. It’s incredibly flattering to be in a rumor. I would do it in a second with those guys. But do you think it’s a good idea to redo “Ghostbusters”? It’s a classic.
MTV: Even if it’s a rumor, it’s a nice quartet of actors.
Rudd: [Sarcastically] I am really excited about it.
MTV: We’ve green-lit it right here.
Rudd: Excellent. When do we start shooting?
MTV: Are you going to do the Bill Murray role or Dan Aykroyd’s, or perhaps Rick Moranis?
Rudd: I’d like to be Sigourney Weaver. Or maybe we can mix in the sequel and I can do a Peter MacNicol thing. I remember thinking, “That’s the same guy from ‘Sophie’s Choice.’ ” It seemed so weird.

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
