Wow, this is crazy, but Variety is reporting that Columbia Pictures is apparently not satisfied with simply a video game sequel, and wants an honest-to-god third Ghostbusters movie. They’ve hired a couple of executive producers from “The Office” to write the script, which is really strange because I thought for sure if a new Ghostbusters movie would come about, it would be at the hands of Ramis and Aykroyd. Although, they wrote Harold Ramis’s new movie Year One, so maybe there’s a connection there. The idea is to get the original ‘busters together (Yes, including Winston Zeddemore himself, Ernie Hudson!).

Personally, I would be shocked if Bill Murray returned to the series. He always seemed the most reluctant in the past. But I won’t sit lie and say I don’t want to see another Ghostbusters movie. With the (marginally) successful returns of Die Hard, Indiana Jones, and Rambo, I see no reason why these ’80s icons can’t come back as well. Besides, if they add some new blood (like the random girl above, who you may refer to as the Mutt Williams of Ghostbusters), it could keep things interesting.

Also, will this finally bring RICK MORANIS out from the shadows??? Time will tell.
