SCI FI PI

Harold Ramis, one of the original creators of Ghostbusters, (and Egon!) recently spoke to 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."

With the Ghostbusters game coming up, it looks like a whole new generation will soon be 'slimed' bythe 80's era tech-savvy New Yorkers.

Fingers crossed.
