The Scifi wire over at Scifi.com has a tiny little news bit about the new Ghostbusters movie that's in the works. It's not much news, but it's something. In fact, the news item is so short, I'm just going to post the entire item right here. So here ya go:
Harold Ramis, one of the original creators of Ghostbusters, wrote the Chicago Tribune to confirm details about a proposed third film.
"Yes, Columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my Year One writing partners, Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg," Ramis e-mailed the newspaper. "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."
Ramis added that he and his Ghostbusters collaborators Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman "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."
As for their possible role in a third movie? "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."
So there you have it. Confirmation by Egon Spengler himself that a new movie is being worked on. It sounds like it's going to be a passing of the torch type of film where a new cast of Ghostbusters are created while the originals step to the sidelines and watch as their franchise moves on into the future. I have to say, I like this idea better then a remake. Hopefully a good script will get written and a great cast will get chosen.
And with Judd Apatow involved, I can already begin my list of who I'd love to see on the new team. Personally, I'd be totally down for seeing team of Ghostbusters starring Bill Hader, Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd.
