R.I.P. Harold Ramis (1944-2014)

Famed director, writer, and actor Harold Ramis passed away at the age of 69 today. He was surrounded by family at the time of his passing. He was battling a rare illness called autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, which is swelling of blood vessels.

 This man was a pioneer of modern age comedy starting with his roots as a writer on the classic Animal House and on. He gained entrance to all the nerds hearts on camera with his character Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters. Ramis had one hell of a funny mind and taste for humor on screen with classic many didn't know he directed including National Lampoon's Vacation, Caddyshack, and Groundhog Day. All great comedy classics in my book as well as all comedy fans. Not just fans that enjoy to watch them but to make them. He was big influences on current big comedians Jay Roach, Judd Apatow, and Seth Rogan, just to name a few. He will always be a pioneer and remembered for the work he has done to make us laugh and enjoy life.

Ghostbusters 3 Shooting Summer 2013

I know after years of false starts and even with the optimism of Dan Aykroyd telling us it's happening any moment now, we would start getting use to dismissing all news about the sequel. Well, seems some big news has made it's way in open about if it will get made (without Bill Murray though, boooooo).

Deadline did a update on Ivan Reitman's football film 'Draft Day' getting tossed out by Paramount but threw in some tidbits about why the move came about.

They stated a reason is "Paramount chose not to make it in the small window that Reitman has before he is expected to finally get the long-gestating Ghostbusters reboot in front of the cameras next summer for Sony Pictures (sans Bill Murray)." There you have it folks. No football movie for a Ghostbusters sequel! Sounds perfect to me.

Now take this news lightly for now because of the previous false alarms and misquoted sayings. Lets hope though!!
