Thinking back over the past few years, I’m not sure I can give you guys a linear breakdown of the events behind the make of Ghostbusters 3. In fact, I’m just now starting to think it would be a good idea to do a documentary, assuming it ever gets made…

While Sony/Columbia Pictures keep treading water with the goal of filming next spring, Vulture did the unthinkable by compiling a breakdown of all the Ghostbusters 3 rumors from the past 25 years. It’s a valiant, yet psychotic effort.

The article, which you can read in full here, begins in 1989 when:

The massive box-office, critical, and pop-cultural success of 1984’s Ghostbusters eventually led to 1989’s no-brainer Ghostbusters II, which, despite a then-enormous non-holiday opening weekend take of just over $29 million and a white-hot theme song by Bobby Brown, received far less acclaim and and only half the overall box-office haul as the original. Still, the iconic characters and big-name actors still had enough juice to spark thought of a second sequel almost immediately.

This leads all the way up to August 2014 where we just reported that Bridesmaids director Paul Feig is set to direct an all-female Ghostbusters reboot.

You’ll learn all sorts of great stuff over at the article, but at least we got that crazy awesome Ghostbusters video game out of it all…
