Quaid here. As you may or may not know, the new Ghostbusters video game is scheduled to hit shelves soon.

Rumor had it that this was going to be the closest thing we would ever get to a sequel…with all the original cast (including Murray) reprising their roles.

Then, as always happens, the rumor mill began to turn. Word got out that the guys had so much fun on the video game, they wanted to do one more movie. Writers were hired, and Aykroyd got out there talking about the script.

Then things went silent. Well, seems there is still a little hope this project will get made. In an online Q&A with Aykroyd the other day, he was asked about the status of Ghostbusters 3. His response?

“Script is commenced early summer. Hope to be in production by late fall 2009.”

We’ve heard much more excited words from Aykroyd in the past, so I’d still approach this cautiously. I hope we get to see a final film, though.

Thanks to AICN for bringing this to our attention.
