Aykroyd Says ‘Ghostbusters 3’ Starts Shooting in the Fall

In an online chat with the public over at Boston.com, Dan Aykroyd made a pretty shocking announcement regarding the third ‘Ghostbusters’ film.

[Comment From Tom]
Dan, I’m extremely excited for the HOB to be back in its birth-city!! I will be attending many shows. On a side note, and I’m sure you get these questions a lot, so I apologize in advance… Ghostbusters 3? I’ve heard that the writers of the Office are currently penning a script? How is this coming along, and should we look forward to this movie seeing the light of day? Thanks Dan!

Dan Aykroyd: Â  Script is commenced early summer. Â   Hope to be in production by late fall 2009.

This is the first word we’ve had in a long while about the ongoing production/pre-production of the latest ‘Ghostbusters’ film.   Last we heard, way back in September, Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg were working on the screenplay with Judd Apatow co-producing.

Who knows if this latest announcement is, indeed, an indication of progress on the project.   Aykroyd could just be rolling on pure hope these days.

What do you think?   Is it too late for another ‘Ghostbusters’ film?   Is Aykroyd out of his mind to think the movie is going to get made?   Is there any chance in hell that Bill Murray will be returning?   Let us know by commenting below!
