Harold Ramis Talks GHOSTBUSTERS 3 Status!
Share on Facebook
With the original 2 GHOSTBUSTERS films about to come out on Blu-Ray, interest in the property is currently at a fever pitch! And fans have been eagerly anticipating the proposed GHOSTBUSTERS 3 ever since it was announced that screenwriters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (THE OFFICE) were tapped to write the script. Coming Soon.net caught up with Harold Ramis, who's out promoting his latest directorial effort YEAR ONE. Here's what he had to say on the status of GHOSTBUSTERS 3:
"I wrote the story for the new movie with them, and Dan and I've been consulting. We're just waiting to see a first draft and where we are. Everyone says they'll do it, they've all said they'll do it. No one has signed anything yet--we haven't signed anything either--but there's the spirit of willingness in the air."
Rumor has it that Ivan Reitman, helmer of the first 2 GHOSTBUSTERS features may be too busy to tackle the 3rd picture. Considering Ramis is now an established director in his own right, it seems like a given that he'd be next in line to step behind the camera. He tells Coming Soon, "I'm not sure I want to (direct). It's just a lot of open questions. Until we see a script, I don't think anyone really knows how they feel about it. Everyone's open to doing it, that's the main thing, that's what got it moving forward."
Most early reports indicate that while all original Ghostbusters cast members will be returning (including Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson and Dan Akyroyd), there will be new Ghostbusters joining the family. Ramis confirms this. "Oh, yeah. There will be new Ghostbusters. It's not about us running around. We'll be introducing new people."
