Ghostbusters 3 is a GO

[DjfunkmasterG]

Dan Aykroyd has confirmed the third Ghostbusters movie is all set to go before the cameras - with the original cast in place to reprise the characters from the 1984 film. The movie star reveals Sigourney Weaver has signed on for the project, alongside himself, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson - and the film could start shooting this winter. Aykroyd still fears the project could "blow up" "at any second" but he hopes the new film will herald in a new generation of all-girl Ghostbusters. He tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, "I'd like it to be a passing-of-the-torch movie. Let's revisit the old characters briefly and happily and have them there as family but let's pass it on to a new generation." And the actor wants Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku to consider becoming part of the Ghostbusters family: "I think they're amazing."

Bad DJ, bad! Never trust Aykroyd. He's been saying this stuff since the nineties because he loves Ghostbusters. Whatever site you're getting this news from needs to check it's sources and stop twisting the truth. True...it's a possiblity that it may happen now with the franchise making a come back, but this is very far from a "Go". Trust me. This will only be a for sure thing when Sony Pictures makes the official press release. For reference....here's what he ACTUALLY SAID about the project, Murray's stance, and where he wants to take it: “I don’t put not making the third movie on Billy. We can’t do that. I’ve been very busy. Harold’s been busy, Ivan’s been busy. And a third script really didn’t coalesce properly. And Billy, you can’t blame an artist for not wanting to do the same thing again. He did two of them, for God’s sake. Although I’m the biggest cheerleader as the originator of the concept but I’ve never begrudged Billy not doing a third movie. I never said he held it up or that he refused. Hey, listen, he’s an artist. You can’t force somebody into it. I’m sorry he never read my third draft because I thought it was pretty good but, look, now we’re at a point that there’s a story that he can accept and that’s going to work, and I think we’re going to be in production fairly soon. We could be in production by winter If I had a nickel for everytime Aykroyd does something like this. And FYI....Milano is already part of the series. She's the center point of the video game.

Just rolling with what the news puts out there man. If one of the stars says its a go, then most likely, its a go.

[bassman]

If one of the stars says its a go, then most likely, its a go. If that were true, Ghostbusters 3 has been in production for ohhhhh....let's say 15 years or more. That's a long time for pre-production. I'm not trying to be a downer here, but i've seen this come and go. It's a big possibility. The biggest it's ever been...but still. And what site twisted up the story like this? You looking at IMDB or something?
