Columbia calls up new 'Ghostbusters'
Eisenberg, Stupnitsky to write reunion film

Columbia Pictures is getting serious about scaring up a new installment of its blockbuster "Ghostbusters" franchise.

The studio has set "The Office" co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson....

Ghostbusters 3 'in development'

Two writers from the US version of The Office have been recruited to write a third instalment of Ghostbusters, according to trade newspaper Variety.

Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky's hiring is seen as a sure sign the long-mooted comedy will finally be made.

Ghostbusters and its 1989 sequel saw Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as bumbling scientists who rid New York of paranormal threats.

It is hoped the new film will reunite the original cast.

Columbia Pictures has declined to comment on whether a third Ghostbusters was in development, Variety reported.

But director John Landis, who worked with Aykroyd on The Blues Brothers and Trading Places, has said the film would definitely be made.

"I'm not involved but I know it's happening," he told the BBC News website at the Venice Film Festival....



I don't know how I feel about this as the first two are such classics now. Although if they can get the whole cast back it could work I guess.

Unfortunately, this movie will not be a "real person" movie, but an animated movie (I'm thinking in the same line as Beowolf was.

During an interview with radio station CISN, as relayed by Cinema Blend, Aykroyd revealed that Murray will do a third film as long as its an animated project -- meaning that he's willing to be heard, but not seen. Obviously, this is a process the actor has become acquainted with in recent years with the Garfield films, in which he provided the voice of the title character.

Lame. Bill Murray should just be an animated ghost in the movie then.

I hate these lame animated movies.

If they do it as an animated movie it will fail. Their audience is by far not prepared to see this classic slaughtered by a Beowulf like production. IMHO
