Who Ya Gonna Call?

Remember when we said Tropic Thunder could be this generations Ghostbusters (you should, we have reminded you about 29 times) and remember how we were wrong about that(even though it's been at number 1 for 3 weeks in America) well we're bouncing back with another similar prediction.

This generation's Ghostbusters will be...drum roll please...Ghostbusters. News has broken of a planned sequel to the original 2 Ghostbusters movies, starring the original cast as too-old-for-this-shit geriatrics presumably. Empire says:

Columbia has recruited Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky – writers and producers of the wonderful American version of The Office – to write a script which would, and this is the really exciting bit, reunite the original Ghostbusters, almost twenty years after the under-rated Ghostbusters 2.

And that doesn’t just mean Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson), or Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) or Dr. Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), it also means the return of Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman, possibly the sleaziest and most likeable lead to ever grace a modern blockbuster.

Murray’s participation in Ghostbusters 3 has always been a sticking point, but here’s hoping that the script delivered by Eisenberg and Stupnitsky will be good enough to lure him in.

So no guarantee of the cast returning but that's the general idea. Most of them could use the pay day but Murray is usually reluctant to take part in token sequels even though he is no stranger to doing one-for-the-money. Garfield?! A cameo in Get Smart!!. Also, we know Aykroyd had written a third part already called Ghostbusters in Hell can these new writers on the block emulate the unbridled enthusiasm and scatology of Aykroyd's scripts.

Now let's all enjoy the anticipation before the inevitable giant cash cow taking a dump on our boyhood memories. Who ya gonna call? We'd call this girl.
