E! Online recently caught up with Dan Aykroyd in Toronto, where he was promoting his own award winning wines and shuffling for Patron Tequila. In the midst of the madness, they asked him about a potential
Ghostbusters 3. The comedic legend stated that the third film is indeed moving ahead, and that he wants the Apatow gang involved.
Dan stated," Two sharp young writers in Hollywood are purported to be writing the sequel. It would be the third movie now. If I could get Seth and Judd to be a part of it, that would be a dream. Absolutely."
The storyline would find the old
Ghostbusters handing over the reigns to the new
Ghostbusters (aka: Team Apatow). Will this film ever see the light of day? Someone certainly needs to ask Apatow next time they see him.
UPDATE (9/4/08 5:00 PM PST)
Variety has just revealed the two screenwriters set to write
Ghostbusters 3 are
The Office executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky.
The article also mentions that this sequel will reunite all four of the original
Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.
Eisenberg and Stupnitsky recently wrote
Year One, which Ramis directed and could possibly have been the impetus behind a third film being made.

Also i agree that bill murray, has always stated negatively that he would not be in another gb film, and said the only way he would return is if he was killed off and was a ghost, that was years ago, but i think murray is too busy with garfield voice overs, golfing, and indie films to be involved with this.
Preordered "the real GBs" too. Can't wait to dive into nostalgia heaven!
I CAN SEE JACK BLACK IN A GHOSTBUSTER'S UNIFORM
AND Danny R. McBride RED FROM PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
...someone make Thundercats already though.
With all of the 80's pop cultural strip mining, and GB3 having alot of potential, it was a matter of time. Like I said before in the Forums/Rumors section earliar this year:
"I think a Ghostbusters 3 is an inevitability...I hope that there is a confluence of events to make it a theatrical release and not a straight to dvd release.
The trend of remaking 80's movies purports that it will happen, fingers crossed."
it is good stuff
but please something new
the majority of these are either based from something or a sequel from something 20 years ago
