Who You Gonna Call? GENE STUPNITSKY!

This is interesting.

Dan Akroyd ran his mouth off a few days ago claiming that Apatow and his teams of writers and friends were gearing up for a third Ghostbusters film. He was wrong. Seth Rogan denied the rumor quite some time ago, actually, bumming out a lot of hopeful fans in the process.

So the story was dead–eligible to be busted, even–but now it’s not so dead.

Sony has drafted Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky of NBC’s The Office to write GHOSTBUSTERS 3! Even cooler? Harold Ramis–Egon himself–just finished a movie with these two (Year One), meaning that his involvement is probably a lot more involved than it might have been…

That sentence lost steam, but you get the point.

Listen, I know we’ve been through the wringer with proposed Ghostbusters 3 ideas for years now, but this seems much more plausible than anything Mr. Akroyd has put forth in the last few years or so. Hell, there’s a story in Variety about it, so there must be something going on, right?  Right?!
