Columbia Pictures ain’t afraid of no ghosts.

Rumour has it that the studio is currently planning a Ghostbusters reunion film, written by “The Office” co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky.

If all goes to plan, the film will bring together the original Ghostbusters cast–Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

But the project is still unofficial. According to reports, the hardest part about making a Ghostbusters revival a reality is getting Murray to suit up after nearly two decades.

“It will not happen as a live-action [movie], ’cause Billy [Murray] will not come on, in the live-action stage anymore for it,” Aykroyd told a radio station last year, about the idea of another Ghostbusters sequel. “But he will voice his part, and we are looking to do it as a CGI animated project.”

But–who knows. Maybe Murray will change his mind once the script is completed.

The original Ghostbusters movie grossed $229.2 million when it was released in 1984. The 1989 sequel, Ghostbusters II, only grossed $112.5 million.

Both films were cowritten by Aykroyd and Ramis.
