Late last week, Harold Ramis heard the same buzzings we did about a new Ghostbusters movie being written in the green-lit pipeline. But, unlike us folks who are merely fans of the characters and previous films (and cartoons, and action figures), Ramis kind of made them up.

Which is what makes his e-mail to the Chicago Tribune’s Pop Machine so much more relevant:

“yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my [Year One] writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing [Year One] and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity.”
