Columbia Pictures is getting serious about scaring up a new installment of its blockbuster "Ghostbusters" franchise.
The studio has set "The Office" co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

Recent sequels that should not have been made:
Indiana Jones 4
Rocky Balboa
Terminator 3

Are you fucking kidding me? Aykroyd is sucking up to Seth Fucking Rogen and Judd Assholetoe?! Fuck me.
For the record, Aykroyd has been trying to get Ghostbusters 3 off the ground, well, pretty much since Ghostbusters 2.
Everyone in the original cast is OLD and there is nobody in current Hollywood that can even come close to anyone in the original cast. Even Rick Moranis is 10x better than Seth Rogen.

If it were a Ben Stiller type of thing with Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughan and say Martin Lawrence or something then MAYBE it wouldn't be that bad an idea.
