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.
BBC.

Could be great, could be dire :eek:
 
Don't forget Transformers and the new upcoming Star Trek flick.

When was the last time Hollywood had an original idea?

Never. Every story's already been told anyway.

As long as they use the old theme song, I'll watch it. Plus, think of what the Stay-Puft marshmallow man would look like with today's graphics. Awesome.;)
 
from everything i'd have heard the game that is being worked on is supposed to basically be Ghostbusters 3 since a movie couldn't be made, nor could they get everyone in on it... one of the guys just didn't want to do anything with it anymore from what i remember too
 
Dan Aykroyd wrote the original screen play, so I would think any new script would need his approval. He has OK'd the new video game but not sure about GB3.
 
Tick tock tick tock tick tock...


Is Hollywood going to ever have an original idea again?


Tick tock tick tock tick tock...
