Ghostbusters 3 Score

I was browsing through things at the soundtrack collector site; soundtrackcollector.com; and came across something interesting: they had listed the Ghostbusters III score by George Fenton, with a tentative release of 1999. When clicking it, it explains that it was issued to be made, but never released, etc. I'm not posting this saying it's a sign that GB3 is coming, but more for the fact that more was done with GB3 than just the script, something I didn't realize until now. It makes me wonder what other parts of the film were in early/pre production, considering they already hired a composer.

Strange, I never heard of George Fenton. What has he composed?

Sad kinda, we were that close to a new movie it looks like. Dang shame too many people were ignorant and messed it up. :1(

Go here:http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/composerdiscography.php?composerid=202, it has his credentials, seems much like Elmer Berstein he had done many films prior.

Im surprised that Elmer wouldnt have been back on to do the score for GB3. Like the way John Willimas did all the Star Wars movies so far. Even though hes done just about every major scifi action movie score haha.

Well we may or may not see a GB3 in the next decade, but only time will tell.

Dane, Elmer didn't even come back for GB2 so I don't see why he would compose GB3.

Personally, I would want to see Danny Elfman do GB3.

Just checked out this guy's entry in the IMDb and it looks like he's credited with composing music for Groundhog Day, a film directed by Harold Ramis aka Dr. Egon Spengler (and starring Bill Murray). Interesting.

Anyway, the scores to the first two Ghostbusters movies were pretty good, but they take a backseat to the pop songs. However, theatrical scores have had increased importance as most new movies don't use pop songs as extensively as they did in the 1980s, opting towards original instrumental scores by composers.
