BREAKING: 'Ghostbusters 3' is (Maybe) ON!
Cinematical — We've stayed away from all the Ghostbusters rumors these past couple days because last time we crossed this road, we were told nothing existed. Well, seems that's not at all true: Variety reports that Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (The Office, Year One) have been asked to write a script for a Ghostbusters sequel (reported earlier today by Pajiba.com) that may or may not "pass the torch to a new group of ghost chasers." Funnily enough -- and even though he flat out told us he had nothing to do with it -- this is totally in line with those early rumors that "The Apatow Clan" would be ...

The sequel will feature the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson. Nice, Hollywood. I doubt kids today even know what Ghostbusters is.

Ghostbusters 3 Is A Terrible Idea. Because Of 9/11.
Videogum — The internet is astir, because someone in Hollywood has given the go ahead to two writers from The Office to write a script for a third Ghostbusters movie that would reconvene the original cast.

Those are both true, but this isn't even about that. And this is not some fanboy rant about not wanting to see my precious Ghostbusters tarnished by a half-assed cash grab.
