UPDATE: Ramis confirms Ghostbusters 3!


I won't bore you with the details, check out cinematical for the full quote from Ramis, but it sounds like everything I posted about a couple days ago is in fact true. Ramis' Year One writers are working on a script. The idea is for all four original members to come back as "mentors," Ramis specifically stating that according to Aykroyd, Dr. Venkman may even return (for those not in the know, there is some bad blood between Murray and Ramis, so Venkman's return was iffy). And Ramis confirms that the hope is the Apatow crew will produce and hopefully be involved in the acting side of things. Apparantly readers at cinematical found the Apatow crew as the new Ghostbusters problematic, where as I see it as the perfect fit, as the Apatow crew are to our generation what I'll call the Animal House crew was to theirs.

Thoughts anyone?

More Ghostbusters confirmation


It seems my speculation that perhaps Rogen and Goldberg are writing the Ghostbusters sequal was wrong.  Apparantly Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the guys who wrote the upcoming Harold Ramis directed Year One (and also some of the better episodes of The Office this past season), are working on a script for a Ghostbusters sequal.  This is all that's confirmed, but the connection to Ramis is promising.  Also promising is that Year One is being produced by Apatow, thus another connection to previous rumors.  Here's hoping this thing all falls into place, cause I, for one, am very excited.
