Rick Moranis will allegedly come out of retirement for Ghostbusters 3.
The actor – who stepped away from Hollywood to raise his children following the death of his wife in 1991 – has been tempted back to the franchise, reports Bloody Disgusting.
The Honey, I Shrunk The Kids star played Louis Tully in the two ’80s comedy films, becoming villain “The Keymaster” in the first then an honorary Ghostbuster in the second.
The site’s inside source also confirmed that Dana Barrett’s (Sigourney Weaver) son Oscar will be part of the new, younger spook-catching team and is in fact the love child of Bill Murray’s Peter Venkman.
Screenwriters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky’s story allegedly centres on original Ghostbusters Venkman, Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) handing over the reins to fresh recruits.
Bill Murray recently claimed that plans for a third Ghostbusters had “vapourised”.
I really don’t know what to believe anymore. The crew at iBO are huge fans of Ghostbusters and any news of a third installment is good news but we are getting sick of being thrown for a loop. I think I’m just going to consider this movie dead until they actually start shooting and I see some bootleg shit.
In a stark departure from every other state and province on the continent, one of the world’s hottest new vodka brands has been banned from Ontario stores. Yes, outlawed in Ottawa, banished from Brampton, taboo in Toronto and verboten in Verner.
The funny thing is, the brand’s creator, Canadian-born actor Dan Aykroyd, doesn’t seem to be losing his head over it all.
“I like it, it kind of makes the product more appealing in my view,” Mr. Aykroyd told me over the phone last week from Texas. “This is a decision that’s been made reflecting the appeal of the product, because the board is rightly concerned that under-aged drinkers may go to illegitimate means to obtain a bottle of Crystal Head, maybe steal it or whatever.”
First off, Dan Aykroyd is a genius. Not for creating an amazing franchise like Ghostbusters but for also backing the absolutely tasteful Crystal Head Vodka. This stuff really is amazing. Goes down like water. I really am shocked they banned this before banning their strip clubs. Dino says you get to touch which really should start happening in America. Fucking eh.
Patron is a luxury brand of tequila produced in Mexico and sold in hand-blown, individually numbered bottles.
Made entirely from blue agave, Patrón comes in five varieties: Silver, Añejo, Reposado, Gran Patrón Platinum and Gran Patrón Burdeos.
Patrón also sells a tequila-coffee blend known as Patrón X.O. Cafe and a triple sec, Patrón Citrónge.
The company has introduced a high-end, limited distribution tequila Gran Patrón Burdeos Añejo.
Patrón will be the presenting sponsor of the American Le Mans Series sports car racing championship for three years starting in 2010.
The Patrón Spirits Company, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, was formed in 1989 by John Paul DeJoria, a co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems.
Actor Dan Aykroyd is not an owner of Patron, despite being involved in the Canadian launch of the brand. But there is talk of a Ghost Busters souvenir bottling campaign.
Patrón has the fastest growing sales of any tequila in the United States.
1. I know…I know. A lot of you you may argue with me and say Billy Bob Thornton blows Dan Aykroyd out of the water for who is the drunkest Santa but Aykroyd defined comedy. He went from being a hot shot money making investor to a drunken asshole in a mere day, just so the Duke’s could have a little fun. Winthorpe went from making money to getting shit faced every night. Not many comedians can pull that off and make it believable. Once again, a classic movie with a classic Santa role. Watching him eat that Salmon is even funnier than watching Matty stuff his face. Check out the rest of the Top 5 List here.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ — Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka has been awarded the prestigious gold medal and an unusually high rating of 94 by Chicago’s International Beverage Testing Institute. This is an indication that the quality of the vodka is considered “exceptional” by world class panelists when compared to leading vodkas from all over the world.
Golf Legend Fuzzy Zoeller never doubted the exceptional quality and smoothness of his ultra premium vodka. Over the past couple of years, Zoeller has personally conducted numerous blind taste tests with family, friends and golf fans at professional golf tournaments, pitting his vodka against every “big hitter” in the vodka category.
“I have always said I will put my vodka up against any other vodka in the world,” said Zoeller. “The key factor in the vodka category is smoothness, and smoothness is what our vodka has. We age a portion of the vodka in new American oak barrels which is the key difference. The BTI Gold Medal confirms our confidence that we can now prove to those who haven’t tasted it that we are one of the world’s best tasting ultra premium vodkas.”
How many more famous people are going to release vodkas in my lifetime? First Diddy’s Ciroc Vodka , then Dan Aykroyd’s Crystal Head Vodka, which by the way is not just all show but very very tasty (check back for a review) and of course Golf Legend Fuzzy Zoeller’s sweet blend. Who approches who in this situation? Does a golfer say to himself, “Hey, I think I can make and bottle some vodka and sell the shit out of it. Maybe it could win some awards some day.” We need iBO to take off so we can bottle up some goodness and sell the shit out of it.
Paramount Pictures and Iconic Brands this week announced their upcoming launch of The Godfather Italian Organic Vodka.
Branded after the classic film The Godfather, the imported Italian vodka will begin rolling out in April 2010. “The celebrity niche in the drink sector these days is somewhat in vogue and lots of people are trying to do it,” said Richard DeCicco, CEO of Iconic Brands. “I think Paramount is realizing what a powerful brand ‘The Godfather’ is. The fact that ‘The Godfather’ has been the No. 1 grossing movie of all time, there seemed to be a nice opportunity.” From Dan Aykroyd’s Crystal Head Vodka to Hendrix Electric Vodka to Trump Vodka, there has been no shortage of celebrity-branded spirits and wines. Success often has more to do with what’s in the bottle and how it’s supported rather than just a name, said Arthur Shapiro, an alcohol consultant and founder and principal of AM Shapiro and Associates. “The Godfather vodka sounds a little bit like its hokey. The brand would need more going for it than merely the linkage and the borrowed credentials of the motion picture.”

First Dan Aykroyd now The Godfather himself. I still have yet to try the Crystal Head Vodka and now I’m very excited for this tasty delight to come out. I’m pretty sure most liquor brands out there are just using the name to sell the product but I hope this is different. I hope The Godfather vodka is as expensive as Johnnie Walker Blue and smooth going down like quadra-purified water. I want to be excited that I own a bottle, just so I can say I own a wonderful delicacy.
Man he is on top of his game with this brilliant video. Word to the wise, when you want to hype up your vodka and it happens to be in a crystal skull, why not talk about spirits and being just like the good old ghostbusting days. Absolutely genius. When he says, “This is an accurate glass rendering of a human skull” I was immediately sold. Unfortunately he HAD to mention that piece of shit movie Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Obviously I can see why but what a terrible fucking movie. I hope it wasn’t Aykroyd’s inspiration for this vodka. Go to the 7:10 mark for the best description ever of this creamy vodka and check out the website. – IBO
