First Dan Aykroyd leaked news of a possible
Ghostbusters 3 while promoting his Wine in Toronto. Then the trades announced that
The Office scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky were attached to write the screenplay. Now, Harold Ramis has come forward to confirm that the sequel is definitely moving ahead with Judd Apatow and Bill Murray possibly involved.
Ramis himself sent an email to Mark Caro's
Pop Machine Blog at
The Chicago Tribune explaining the matter at hand:
"Yes, Columbia Pictures is developing a script for
Ghostbusters 3 with my year one writing partners, Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg. Judd Apatow is co-producing
Year One and has made several other films for Sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. Aykroyd, Ivan Reitman and I are consulting at this point, and according to Dan, Bill Murray is willing to be involved on some level. He did record his dialogue for the new
Ghostbusters video game, as did Danny and I, and Ernie Hudson. The concept is that the old
Ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. Not much else to say at this point. Everyone is confident a decent script can be written and i guess we'll take it from there. Best, Harold."
So, there you go folks. If all goes well, we can look forward to seeing
Ghostbusters 3 in 2010.

clearly when he stars in movies written by himself or his friends he has been portayed as a stoner very realistically, but the guy's career is just beginning.
wait a few more movies and i think we'll all see that he has potentials beyond what we have seen so far.
if you dont think he's funny, dont watch his movies.
hope it's better than 2
I'm all for Paul Rudd & Jason Segel though. They look mature. They appear mature. Even if they say stupid funny things, they can still pull it off. Paul Rudd has some of the best smart ass one-liners I have ever heard.
