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.
