(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.'
Skip over this content
'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.

I think it would be a fun and family oriented movie. Please don't have Will Ferrel in it. That could ruin the movie. I would rather see actors that know what they are doing and maybe the originals and include some of the younger comedians as students. But I personally would enjoy the movie.

Please...please stop. The entire cast are all but washed up. Dan Ackroid looks like he's been sitting on a couch watching tv for the past 20 years, the other guy (whatever his name is) is about 350lbs, Ernie Hudson must have needed money as an extra because he wasn't even asked to be shown on the movie poster and Bill Murray's ego is as big as a house.....he'll probably want his name first along with a bigger pay check than all the others combined. Nix the whole idea for part three....how about GHOST HASBEENS.

I love to see a Ghostbusters 3, but to the person who suggested that Will Ferrell be in it, PLEASE NO. Ferrell is not the least bit funny. I always thought him to be annoying.

Sorry, Will Farrell does not excite me. When ever I see him I picture him as the nerd cheer leader on SNL which I found exceptionally dull.

Ya never know, the new Ghostbusters game for next-gen consoles is creating a lot of buzz. Maybe to tackle the oldness of the actors they could just hit it head-on like Indiana jones did, make some jokes about it, have a big ol ghost mess grudgingly bring them out of retirement.

Now Ray Parker can revive his career by singing Ghostbusters 3. I prefer Will Ferrell in Succubusters.

I'd watch another Ghost Busters movie but these stars have got to bring down their pay. The Studio has to make something. I wish Dan Aykroyd would make another Cone Heads movie. The first one may not have done well but a second one if well written would I'm sure. I'm fairly certain that most everyone has seen the movie and appreciates Aykroyd's comedic genius. He's funny and I admire that in a Canadian.
