Ain’t It Cool News posted that weird video of Akroyd today on E! making the vaguest allusion to an actual third Ghostbusters movie. He makes some offhand comment that most of the internet took to mean that Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow would be writing it even though it sounded more like he thought it would be a good idea and not necessarily true.
Well it is. Not the Rogen/Apatow part, though.
According to Variety, US Office writers/executive producers, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky have been tapped to provide the script that reportedly brings all four Ghostbusters back into the mix, including the notoriously flaky Bill Murray. The flick is still in its earliest phases of production and absolutely zero plot details have come down. No word if this will be based on early reports of that New Jersey/Hell scenario is still in the mix from scrapped drafts in the past. This is, essentially, where the news ends.
The internet is losing its shit at the moment at the very prospect of another Ghostbusters and I have to admit, I’m one among them. I’m all over the game as soon as it’s released and I was ready to settle on an Akroyd/Ramis written video game with cast voices but this is beyond all realms of belief. I’ll admit that as I write this, I maintain a steady and healthy pulse rate and blood pressure, but my brain is actually and very literally about to leap from my skull. News of cranial rupture is soon to follow, I’m sure. In the meantime, let this good news sink in. Swim with it. Experience it and then let it go because it’ll be a while before this shit hits screens.
