(Sept. 7) -- Columbia Pictures is getting serious about creating a new installment of its 'Ghostbusters' franchise, Variety reports.

During a recent interview with E!, Dan Aykroyd implied that Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd would likely write in the new installment, even though Rogen denied rumors last week.

The studio would not comment on the development and has been mum on recent rumors that there was interest in making a third 'Ghostbusters.'

'Ghostbusters' was Columbia's highest grossing film ever, until it was beaten by 'Men in Black' and then 'Spider-Man.' An attempt to make a third installment of the franchise was stymied in the dealmaking stage. Sources said so much gross was pledged to the participants that it was next to impossible for the studio to make any money on a third installment.

No deals will be made with the original cast until the script is ready, but the gross percentage will certainly be an issue.
