Ernie Hudson Has No Idea When ‘Ghostbusters 3’ Will Begin Filming
I love Ernie Hudson, who plays Winston Zeddemore in the Ghostbusters film series, but the dude clearly has no idea what’s going on with Columbia Pictures’ Ghostbusters 3 development hell. I mean, he’s too busy signing autographs at your local comic convention to be in the know, right?
Whatever the case may be, Film Dumpster caught up with Hudson at the Niagara Falls Comic Con (where else?!) and asked him for an update on the long-gestured project that’s currently eyeing Zombieland‘s Ruben Fleischer to direct.
“I think we’re going to start shooting in the fall, or maybe the spring…once again, it kind of changes a bit…and I’m always reluctant to say anything because they tell me one thing and then it doesn’t happen.”
Hudson also speaks on the passing of Harold Ramis.
“It’s unfortune, you know, Harold is not here. Harold was the glue…he was amazing. He was an icon. So you’re going to get a GHOSTBUSTERS, but obviously it’s going to be a GHOSTBUSTERS without Harold.
It’s going to be different. So it [part 3] has to be original and it has to be something that is worth all the 30 years of waiting.”
Hearing him acknowledge that Ramis was “the glue” isn’t comforting at all. I really, really want a new Ghostbusters film, but I want it to have the heart and soul of the first two. The fact that Fleischer has a relationship with Bill Murray is sort of the only thing giving me comfort right now.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
