So Sony has the 24-year itch and they think it’s time for the four ghost busting guys Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson to gear up 2009-style and come back to the silver screen in a sequel.

"Ghostbusters" was Columbia's highest grossing film ever, until it was beaten by "Men in Black ,“ which in turn was outdone by all three "Spider-Man" films. The 1984 film grossed $292 million worldwide, and although the 1989 sequel was not as acclaimed, it still brought in another $215 million globally. And that’s ‘80s money.

"The Office" writer-producers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg were reportedly approached by the studio to work on a new installment of the 1980s franchise, but here is where we’re not sure if the original cast is going to get on board, as Bill Murray was said to decline the offer. Maybe a whole new band of ghost busters will come to the rescue, whenever there’s something wrong in the neighborhood.

Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, Emmy nominees for the NBC sitcom "The Office," already have the support of one ghost buster in Ramis and they reportedly want to team-up with the original director of the movie, Ivan Reitman. The whole thing sounds like a high school reunion, but hopefully they will make more of it than a tedious story wrapped in the original poster of “Ghostbusters.”

History has proven that people would go to see a movie that reminds them of their youth or childhood, even if it’s really bad, which could mean that the next “Ghostbusters” could bring at least $400 million, and that’s 2009 money.
