Big/HUGE news for Ghostbusters fans... Dan Aykroyd has confirmed that a Ghostbusters 3 movie is indeed in the works... Apparently a few years ago Aykroyd and Harold Ramis both wrote a sequel for the Ghostbusters series entitled Ghostbusters:Hellbent...

Now when they tried to get the original cast back together after it was written to actually make it, half of them including Bill Murray didn't want to do it for a multiple reasons (one of which being that its far too physically demanding to suit up the Proton Packs and run around Manhattan chasing ghosts again)...

But with the advancements in CGI animation and the less of a physical demand (actor wise) it requires, it seems that its a go...And it also seems that most of the cast is indeed up for it, including Bill Murray..

This information comes from an interview Dan Aykroyd did on a country music radio show... To hear the interview click on the link at the bottom... He also talks a little bit about the plot of the movie...

But anyways this is big news... I originally glanced at the script for Ghostbusters:Hellbent years ago and thought it was alright... But now that it seems to be going the CGI route im going to have to reread it again with this news in mind... I find this very odd that over the course of a month alot of Ghostbusters news have been circling around (from the Zootfly game to the Theme song being in iidx Gold)... It seems that the popularity from the game that Zootfly was/is working on has somewhat created a domino effect and now every GB nerds dream has come true...

I'm hoping that the quality of the CGI will be amazing... I would really like to see an "FF:Spirits Within" or "Advent Children" type of animation for this movie... And since both "Spirits Within" and "Advent Children" were done threw Sony Pictures it seems more likely that we may get that wish (since the fact Sony Pictures/Columbia Pictures does hold the rights to Ghostbusters)...

Either way big news... Because sometimes shit happens, someone has to deal with it and who are you gonna call?

Thoughts?

Is this related to that game demo footage that was circulating the net about a week ago? I'm sure they'll want to have a movie-game tie-in if that's really the case.

Thinking back to the actual script for Ghostbusters: Hellbent it now makes perfect sense why Sony ordered the game footage for the Zootfly game taken down so quickly...

The script was easily accessible (like most) over the net... So im sure Zootfly took many aspects from the script and put it in the game...

I dont want to disclose too much of the plot, but im sure if you heard Aykroyd's interview about the movie and how he talked about an "Alternate demension/Hell NYC" it make sense why Sony put a stop to it...

News keeps coming in... Apparently Universal has bought the rights to the Zootfly Ghostbusters game... Apparently Aykroyd will voice his character in the game...
