From the mouth of Egon himself, Ghostbusters 3 is apparently progressing quite smoothly. According to actor/director/writer/Ghostbuster Harold Ramis, current plans have the crew filming next summer for a release in 2011. This is incredibly exciting news given that rumblings of Ghostbusters 3 have been circulating for quite a few years without any results. This paired with what Sigourney Weaver had to say a while back (though some of that may have been misinformation?), G3 is really going to happen. Here’s what Ramis had to say to Heeb Magazine:
Something’s going to happen. Dan [Aykroyd] did write a spec GB3 screenplay a few years ago, but no one was motivated to pursue it. Now, 25 years after the original, there seems to be some willingness to proceed and apparently a substantial public appetite for a sequel. We’ll introduce some new young Ghostbusters, and all the old guys will be in it, too. Think Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future … GB3 is progressing with plans to shoot next summer and release in 2011 … Oh, and I have two one-of-a-kind Ghostbuster yarmulkessent by fans.
