Talking to The LA Times, Dany Aykroyd revealed that they “could be in production by winter” on a third Ghostbusters film.
He also revealed that Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver are also onboard. They are currently using a script by Year One scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky which has a new generation of Ghostbusters taking over the duties of the aging team.
Aykroyd also expressed his hope that Ivan Reitman would return to helm the third film, but noted that he’s “too busy as a mega-producer”.

Columbia is taking a serious move to call the Ghostbusters back to the lens. The studio’s hired “The Office” co-exec producers, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, to write the script for the original cast of Harold Ramis, Dan Aykyrod, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson.
Both the 1984 and 1989 movies were written by Rami and Aykyrod with direction by Ivan Reitman.
Deals will be made with the original cast once the script is in place. Ramis has offered evidence that the other ghostbusters are interested in returning for another go at the franchise.
Ghostbusters was Columbia’s highest grossing film until Men In Black and then Spider-man came along to bring the gross even higher.
