A New Ghostbusters Flick???
Evil Beet Gossip — According to Variety , Columbia Pictures is looking to do another installment of the Ghostbusters franchise . The scripts is already in the process of being written, and they’re hoping to bring back all the original Ghostbusters: Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.
