Ghostly Sighting: Ramis Talks Ghostbusters 3

We’ve got some awesomely ’80s poufy hair here. 

Harold Ramis is out doing publicity for the upcoming “Year One,” but of course he’s going to get asked questions about the now set for certain “Ghostbusters 3.” Ramis has been developing the script along with “Year One” writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg. ComingSoon asked him for some info.

“I wrote the story for the new movie with them, and Dan and I’ve been consulting. We’re just waiting to see a first draft and where we are,” Ramis told us, although he’s very optimistic it will happen with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson returning as well. “Everyone says they’ll do it, they’ve all said they’ll do it. No one has signed anything yet–we haven’t signed anything either–but there’s the spirit of willingness in the air.”

As for original director Ivan Reitman? Maybe not so willing.

“I don’t think he wants to; I’m not sure I want to (direct). It’s just a lot of open questions. Until we see a script, I don’t think anyone really knows how they feel about it. Everyone’s open to doing it, that’s the main thing, that’s what got it moving forward.”

So they are all in…sort of? The word is that the movie will mostly be about passing the ghostbusting torch to a new generation. If they get the right people, it can be great; if not, it will just be sad.
