Harold Ramis re-confirmed the talk of another “Ghostbusters” sequel and the idea that would have the original cast return as mentors to a new generation of ‘busters.
Interestingly, he mentioned that “everybody [from the original films] said they’d do it” including a retired Rick Moranis. Apparently even Ernie Hudson will return. “Ghostbusters” fans are now officially happy.
However, Ramis cautions that not everything is a done deal. “We’ll see, everyone’s gonna have to love the [Ghostbusters III] script to move it forward.”
Apparently “the script process is slow,” because “The Office” writers Gene Stupinksy and Lee Eisenberg still have that full-time gig to contend with. The idea in the ’90s was “Ghostbusters Go to Hell,” something that Aykroyd had cooked up, but Ramis says they’ve moved on. “As soon as Danny said it [back then], I thought that was really funny. But now there’s a new concept.” [EW/Moviehole]
Aww, I’ve missed Rick Moranis. This is the tipping point for me–I’ll definitely go see it now.
Brilliant move…Moranis is a comedic genius and Ramis & co. did a good job in the first two GB films allowing Moranis to do his own thing comically instead of ordering laughs on him like the studios would do later.
