Sigourney Weaver has revealed details on the storyline for Ghostbusters 3.

The actress, who played Dana Barrett in the first two comedy hits, confirmed that her character's now-adult son will have an integral role in the sequel.

In a lengthy making-of piece in Vanity Fair to mark the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters, Weaver said that she had recently spoken to producer Ivan Reitman about her return to the franchise.

"I said, I have one condition. I want my son Oscar [from Ghostbusters II] to be a Ghostbuster, and he said, 'We've already done that,'" she recalled.

Ghostbusters co-creator Dan Aykroyd - who played Ray Stantz and is involved in the script for the latest instalment - will appear, while Rick Moranis (Louis Tully) and Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore) also spoke of a desire to return.

Of his character Tully's potential fate, Moranis said: "He's in prison, a cellmate of Bernie Madoff's. They compete to see who can make their bed first in the morning."

Hudson added that he envisions Zeddemore "as the CEO of the Ghostbusters franchise", adding: "I just hope that he wouldn't be on a walker or [in] a wheelchair."

"And hopefully we'll still be able to wear the backpacks," he commented.

Ghostbusters 3's script is currently being worked on by Etan Cohen (Men in Black 3), but Bill Murray's well-documented reluctance to reprise his role as Peter Venkman still leaves a question mark over the movie.

"Absolutely everyone wants Bill Murray. But everyone has great faith in the franchise," Cohen said.
