Sequels are bad: “Actually, I’ve made that mistake three times [laughs]. One was they convinced me that a sequel to Caddyshack was a good idea, because Rodney Dangerfield really wanted to do it, so I worked on that script. Then Rodney pulled out and they made a terrible movie without my help or cooperation. Then we did a Ghostbusters sequel, of course, which was not as successful. Based on that experience, I resisted doing Analyze That because — as I said to my Analyze This partners — sequels, in my experience, cost twice as much and are half as successful. Which is probably true and that’s probably what happened with Analyze That. I would happily have done any of the Bourne Identity sequels. There are good sequels, but I’m not good at making them.
Uhh, “Ghostbusters 3”?: “Well, I’m not alone this time. There are people even more skeptical than I am who are involved with it. That’s kind of a protection against doing a bad one. Bill Murray would not be involved if he didn’t believe in the script. Ivan Reitman won’t sign off on it unless he thinks it’s really worth doing.”
Ah, well, if that’s the case, we feel much more comforted. [Vulture] Nice chap, though.
today on stern todd phillips said he really wanted to be #1 this weekend because of a personal vendetta. im assuming hes talking 'year one'
anyone know of this feud?
Why assume that? Maybe someone on the Proposal, a douchebag producer did him wrong. I would assume it wouldn't be Harold Ramis, but then again, maybe Jack Black fucked over his Man Witch project, who knows, all speculation.
im assuming its ramis because they are connecting through about 20 different sources. including a very close connection through reitman.
maybe its ryan reynolds.
