Video Games: Milano Ain't Afraid of No Ghosts!

Ghostbusters: The Game has taken a hit in nostalgic cred but a major step up in the hotness meter as Alyssa Milano has signed on to voice Dana Barrett in the Atari published game. The part was originally played by Sigourney Weaver who declined the chance to reprise her roll.

How weird is the world when you can get the normally aloof Bill Murray to come back but not Rick Moranis or Sigourney Weaver. Milano is a good actress my only pause is that it might sound out of place. She is certainly saying the right things though. Milano stated "I have so much respect for that character in the movie that I hope I do the position that she is in justice. I was just flattered to be asked to be part of 'Ghostbusters'."

Ghostbusters: The Game hits the PS3. XBOX 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, PS2 and PC on June 16th.

Movies: Apatow is Afraid of Ghosts

Rumors were that Judd Apatow would even be producing a third Ghostbusters flick. But Sony's Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures released this statement to the LA Times. "We have some great new writers working on a new script, but Judd isn’t involved. Judging from the frenzy on the Internet, there still seems to be plenty of interest in the idea of doing another film, so we’re certainly taking that as a good sign." The word is that those writers are "The Office" scribes Lee Eisenberg and Greg Stupnitsky.

I don't know how to make head's or tails of this Ghostbusters 3 scenario. On one hand I don't want them to touch such a sacred property but on the other I wouldn't mind seeing the likes of Seth Rogen, Jason Segal, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and others take a crack at it. I'm just glad we've moved past the days of Ben Stiller being a candidate.
