According to the rumor mill, the long-awaited Ghostbusters 3 project has hung in limbo for years because Bill Murray won’t commit to it.We’re not going to wait anymore. For this challenge, teams are charged with the task of creating a Ghostbusters-type film for a new millennium and a new generation.Create your own characters, storyline, and style, keeping in mind the elements that made the original a big part of pop history.Note- make something that is more than a "fan” film. Tell a story about ghost hunters in your own style. Make it something that has the power to stand on it’s own.
