Dan Aykroyd reveals details for Ghostbusters 3!!!

It has been a long time coming, but comingsoon has revealed Aykroyd’s comments, which came to light via his interview on ‘The Dennis Miller Show’. He remains unsure as to whether or not the entire original cast will be involved, but is confident that filming will begin in the Spring of 2012.

‘Yes, we will be doing the movie and hopefully with Mr. [Bill] Murray,’ he says, ‘That is our hope. We have an excellent script. What we have to remember is that GHOSTBUSTERS is bigger than any one component, although Billy was absolutely the lead and contributive to it in a massive way, as was the director and Harold [Ramis], myself and Sigourney [Weaver]. The concept is much larger than any individual role and the promise of GHOSTBUSTERS 3 is that we get to hand the equipment and the franchise down to new blood.’

He went on to divulge a few details concerning the plot, which entails a passing of the torch from the veterans to the new recruits.

‘My character, Ray, is now blind in one eye and can’t drive the cadillac,’ he says, ’he’s got a bad knee and can’t carry the packs… Egon is too large to get into the harness. We need young blood and that’s the promise. We’re gonna hand it to a new generation.’
