While Ghostbusters 3 remains mired in development hell, Dan Aykroyd remains more optimistic than a Chicago Cubs fan on opening day. Recently Aykroyd was on the television show "Larry King Now" and offered up the following plot details on the possible third installment:
We’re going to have to cast. We need four new ghostbusters. We need four new Columbia students. It’s based upon new research that’s being done in particle physics by the young men and women at Columbia University. Basically there’s research being done that…I can say that the world or our dimension that we live in, our four planes of existence, length, height, width, and time, become threatened by some of the research that is being done. And Ghostbusters, new Ghostbusters have to come and some the problem.
You know I actually kind of like Aykroyd's ideas here. The only thing that bothers me is that the original ghostbusters will be pushed to the background. Then again it would be kind of ridiculous for them to be chasing ghosts in their 60s so maybe a mentor role is the right way to go. In any case I wonder who they would cast as the four new ghostbusters? I definitely think one of them needs to be a woman.
Aykroyd went on to say that the chances of Bill Murray's involvement are practically none. Maybe he'll relent and do a cameo though.
Now can we please get Ghostbusters II out on blu-ray already???
