Tid bits on Ghostbusters 3!

Found on Filmdrunk; a source close to the Ghostbusters 3 project provided the site with these tidbits involving the sequel.

Aykroyd is involved enough that the studio will listen to his input, but he’s NOT doing a rewrite of the script, which the director (Reitman) and studio (Columbia) are already happy with.

Stupnitsky and Eisenberg are currently the only writers on the project and as of now the studio has no plans to replace them

Ramis, Reitman, and Aykroyd have all signed on, and the script is going out to Bill Murray now.

Without Murray, there’s no movie. (And he’s always seemed pretty wishy-washy on it, but that’s kind of his thing).

If he agrees, pre-production will start early next year for a late spring/early summer start date and a Thanksgiving or Christmas 2012 release.
