Entertainment industry daily Variety reported on its website that Columbia Pictures has already hired screenwriters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write the third film in the money-spinning series.
The first two "Ghostbusters" movies -- about an intrepid team of ghost exterminators battling supernatural forces in New York -- grossed more than 500 million dollars worldwide in total.
Two other members of the original cast, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, would also return for the third film, Variety reported.
Director Ivan Reitman made both the 1984 original and the 1989 sequel.

2000s. Decade of the ing stupid sequels.
Yes, but it's been going on for 25 years now, it's just that it is getting progressively worse.
Prediction - this movie will be unwatchably bad.
I bet there will be nepotism in the casting process and the ghost of Dan Ackroyd's career will get a role in the film.
will bobby brown be penning another tune for this one?
as long as they get a hottie instead of decrepit segouney weaver...and do a good job on the effects...then i'll have no problem dropping 5 bones on a mouseflix internet rip...![]()
I heard they were going to introduce 2 new ghostbusters.... Steve Carrell and Seth Rogan. That right there would make it worth while.
Dramatic much? It's ing Ghostbusters not Citizen Cane.
I'll definitely be checking it out.
bill murray can do now wrong. sooooo...
The sequel or third installment was in the form of a video game. Not sure has will turn out. You can definitly count out Rick Moranis since he doesn't do film anymore.
Isn't this supposed to be a CGI movie? If so, then it's quadruple lame.
yeah because Ghostbusters is real high art![]()
what about bob?
That was a classic!
I'M SAILING! I'M SAILING!
all-time classic. why do some people hate this movie? comedy gold and easily mr. hollands opus' best movie.
Oh no. I may be sensing a Steve Carrell and/or Seth Rogen overload in the making.
Citizen Kane. Sorry, but Citizen Cane made it sound like even less artistic than Ghostbusters![]()
if only the original casting of Peter Venkman was still around. would've been so much better. no knock on murray's part.

Yeah but Dan Akroyd might cancel him out...
who was that?
I have been wanting a third installment for a long time. In my opinion, they should have made it shortly after the sequel, but I think the writers know that this is a sacred franchise to many who grew up in the 80s and early90s and so they won't mess it up. I would feel more comfortable if I know Harold Ramis were producing it and Dan Akyroyd and him were writing the script, but we can't have everything we want.
I'm glad this next installment will include Aykroyd and Murray. I had read that they originally were just going to have cameos by an original cast member or two.
I thought Akyroyd and Ramis said the third installment was gonna be in the video game coming out in October?
I guess the money changed their minds.
If they wright the script, it will be gold.
