Still Calling the Ghostbusters 20 Years On

Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd are set to say in unison “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts” in an upcoming third installment of the 1980s comedic sci-fi franchise “Ghostbusters,” reports trade paper Variety.

Actors Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson became the most famous ghostbusters in the world in 1984, when director Ivan Reitman released “Ghostbusters” via Columbia Pictures.

The four portrayed New York City parapsychologists who set up their own business in a deserted firehouse, complete with ghost-exterminating equipment created by their very own minds and hands.

The film was a box office success, becoming the year’s top grossing movie in the U. S., and received impressive positive reviews. A sequel thus confidently followed in 1989 and although less admired by film critics, its path to the predecessor’s success was apparently already paved, as it ruled at the box office.

So it only makes sense that a third installment could be just as glorious, the more so if the original cast members are willing to face those creepy outlandish creatures again.

According to trade paper Variety, all four original ghostbusters will work in the upcoming third film. As to Reitman’s participation, this is as of yet unconfirmed.

The Emmy-nominated Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who transported “The Office” to the small screen in the U.S. from the UK, are set to co-write the script.

Columbia Pictures has not confirmed yet whether it indeed plans to produce such a project.
