Don't Cross The Streams

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a direct sequel to the first two films and includes the voices of the original cast. Now when GB3 was being talked about semi recently it was said Bill Murry wouldn't be interested in another film, studio's wouldn't make it unless he signed up and who can blame them I know I want to see Venkman and his banter.

Dan Aykroyd had a script featuring the Ghostbusters and some sort of Manhatan/Hell type Manhatan parallel thing going which sounded pretty sweet but as time went on he was talking about the next film going CGI. This was supposedly all in the pipeline but then got scraped for what is now a new script written by Dan Aykroyd/Harold Ramis. Such a script is bound to be worthy of your time, take a look at Ramis's co-writing on Groundhog Day or Bedazzled (remake) and you'll know you're in safe hands.

Crossing the Ghostbusters storyline over to a video game could work out well, games and their narratives are stronger now and ever so why shouldn't a cult story such as Ghostbusters continue to live on?

Definitely something to look forward to. So until it's release: Who you guna call?
