14 Films Trapped in Development Hell
2. Ghostbusters 3
Ghostbusters 3 is the longest gestating project in development hell on this list. Fans and the film creators alike were clamoring for a sequel to the flawed, but enjoyable, second film. The obstacles of realizing this project are well-documented and are both tragic, the death of co-star/writer Harold Ramis, and the downright irritating (Bill Murrays’ refusal to commit to the film). Both Dan Ackroyd and director Ivan Reitman are keen to keep the film alive, recently stating that the film would follow a new generation of Ghostbusters. Although since both actor and director have said similar things over the past 25 years, don’t hold your breath for Ghostbusters: The Next Generation to come any time soon.
