The latest news on "Ghostbusters III" comes from Hero Complex’s interview with Dan Aykroyd as he reveals original "Ghostbusters" helmer Ivan Reitman is “too busy as a mega-producer” to direct the new feature. Aykroyd’s second choice, however, is Harold Ramis who would also be starring as Dr. Egon Spengler.
Ramis also just finished directing "Year One", which was coincidentally co-written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who are working on the script for "Ghostbusters III."
Aykroyd told the site he believes the movie will move forward but that he has also learned that “at any second everything could blow up.” The details of story are still in play, but Aykroyd said he’s hoping for a five-member “new generation” team with several female members. “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.”
So who would be part of this “new generation”? Two suggestions by Aykroyd were Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku. Milano just lent her voice to the upcoming “Ghostbusters” video game.
"I think they're amazing," he said. "And I'm excited about the whole idea of getting this done."
