Dan Aykroyd is back writing the script for Ghostbusters 3, which is taking nearly longer than the Hobbit. In between flogging vodka (Crystal Head) and driving around in a big RV, he spoke to Vanity Fair and said “I’m working on the script now and those two—Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, [writer-producers of The Office]—wrote Bill [Murray] the comic role of a lifetime, and the new Ghostbusters and the old are all well represented in it…we have a strong first draft that Harold [Ramis] and I will take back, and I’m very excited about working on it.
He also went on to say the Ghostbusters franchise has to evolve. “Now [in Ghostbusters 3] my character’s eyesight is shot, I got a bad knee, a bad hip—I can’t drive that caddy anymore or lift that Psychotron Accelerator anymore, it’s too heavy. We need young legs, new minds—new Ghostbusters; so I’m in essence passing the torch to the new regime, and you know what? That’s totally okay with me.”
I still feel that the original band need to get back together for one more gig, and then at the end of that, hand over the reigns to a younger bunch of busters!
