Where Ya Gonna Shoot? Cleveland! ‘Ghostbusters 3’ Coming to the Midwest Movie Belt in 2014?

Ghostbusters 3 to shoot in Cleveland in 2014

Look for the next Ghostbusters installment to start
shooting in Cleveland in 2014.

Cleveland’s filmography just keeps growing. And now word comes that Ghostbusters 3 will shoot in the Midwest Movie Belt city in 2014.

The possible sequel is a follow-up to the 1984 hit and it’s more cartoon-like 1989 follow-up. The new film reportedly will see the original Ghostbusters – sans Bill Murray – training a new group of paranormal investigators. Recent rumors suggest that will include Jonah Hill and Emma Stone.

If the film comes to the Cleve, it may be because of director Ivan Reitman's experience in the Northcoast city this summer. Reitman was in town to shoot Draft Day with Kevin Costner. By all accounts, the film went smoothly and all involved had a great experience.

Ghostbusters 3 would be the first big budget film to hit Cleveland in 2014 that we know about right now. The city saw several films and various scales shoot among its buildings and ‘burgs in 2013, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Draft Day, Miss Meadows, Bad Grandpa and the currently shooting Jenny’s Wedding.

Ivan Schwarz, president of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission, could neither confirm nor deny the news. Sony Pictures Entertainment's Charles Sipkin also said it was premature to say where or when Ghostbusters will film.

Either way, if the filmmakers are still looking for some ideas, we like this idea from a couple years ago (okay, we wrote it, you caught us).

Amy Stoch's excellent adventure

Actress, educator and Cleveland-native Amy Stoch Here’s the truth, and I hope Amy Stoch will forgive me. The actress, educator and Cleveland native, possibly best known for her role as Missy, Bill & Ted’s stepmom throughout the time-travelling Bill & Ted trilogy , should star in her own dramedy series based on her life. No kidding. Her most recent journey back to Los Angeles to reignite the film component of her long career as both a performer and educator is both compelling and revealing. It’s a glimpse into the ebb and flow of the entertainment business and the challenge of chasing your dreams through middle age - especially in an industry as unforgiving as Hollywood - and retaining a passion for the discipline even as new obstacles get in the way. But I’m getting ahead of myself. A movie star from Cleveland’s east side Stoch’s journey began in Euclid, Ohio , an east side ring suburb of Cleveland, where she grew up. Her childhood was a lot like that of ...
