Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3
bowman9991 writes "Dan Aykroyd reveals that all the original cast have now signed on for Ghostbusters 3, including Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson. Apparently Bill Murray, who holds a one-fifth controlling interest, was very reluctant at first, not even willing to read a third draft of Aykroyd's script. Aykroyd would like to see Ivan Reitman or Harold Ramis direct, wants to introduce a 'new generation' of Ghostbusters, and believes they could be filming the new Ghostbuster movie by winter."
Seems so. It's going to be *really* hard for this to live up to the hype it's going to generate.
I guess so, but I thought a 'drama' was some kind of emotional denouement -- like a soap opera, like the end of Six Sense, where we find out that Bruce Willis always loved his wife.

There is (or at least, there should be) a five year limit to how long after a movie comes out it's required to preface spoilers with a warning. That's enough time for the movie to go from theaters to crappy network stations.
Books, on the other hand, shouldn't have that limit. It's hard to go through books as quickly as movies.
He ad libbed quite a lot, so he wanted partial writing credit. Or so they say.
Actually, Dan Ackroyd likes Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2009/05/dan-aykroyd-says-ghostbusters-3-may-start-filming-in-winter.html
They're referring to the less then brilliant previous cartoon attempt to relaunch Ghost Busters: Ghost Busters: Extreme; which (like the proposed plot) had the old characters (well, Egon) training a new generation...
After some quick googling it would appear that Moranis will be returning to acting for this movie.

In April of 2009, Entertainment Weekly's website quoted Harold Ramis as saying that Moranis was indeed on board for the third Ghostbusters movie that Sony Pictures was developing.[5]

Okay, I'm totally being a pedant. Sorry.
