This Friday, director Harold Ramis’ new comedy “Year One” hits theatres. So to help promote the film, I spent the past two days in New York City as a reporter for our partner website Omelete. In the coming days I’ll be posting the full interviews, but with all the talk about another “Ghostbusters” movie floating around the Internet, I figured I should post what he told me right now.
The highlight: if the script for “Ghostbusters 3″ turns out as good as everyone hopes, they’re all in. Even Bill Murray!
The video interview and quotes after the jump:
According to Mr. Ramis, “if we get a good script we’ll do it. I don’t think any of us feel we need to for our own careers or anything, but if people want to see it we’ll try to give it to them. But only if it’s good.”
I then asked do you really think it’s going to happen or is it a maybe?
He replied, “there’s a real script being written. We wrote a story – Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd and I are consulting. (Bill) Murray said he’d do it. Ernie Hudson is in. Almost everyone said they’d be in. Rick Moranis has laid low in show business for the last few years. It’s all about the quality. We don’t want to destroy a franchise that everyone loves with a bad sequel.”
While Hollywood loves to remake dead franchises and waste money on bad sequels, this is one that I really hope comes together. Here’s the video of our conversation. At the end he also tells me that the “Meatballs” movie listed on his IMDB page is “a myth. I don’t know where that came from.”
If you’re excited for another “Ghostbusters”, say it in the comments below!

I for one would love to see a new Ghostbusters film! The time is right with the video game out and the blu-ray. But like Ramis said there needs to be a good script.

Man, I'm amped to see how this will turn out, I was raised on the Ghostbusters with the movies, cartoon show, and ecto-cooler. It's going to be awesome if it is quality.

This movie would make a gazillion dollars. What in the fuck are these studios thinking? If they wanted this movie to come out a script would of been done already. We've been hearing the same bullshit for months.

This should NOT be a film that passes the torch to a "new generation". Just make it a great supernatural adventure with our favorite 'busters.
