Dan Aykroyd Is Back With More Hypothetical Ghostbusters 3 Info
This article is more than 2 years old
Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters! But they’re probably still waiting for a call on a rotary dial phone, since it feels like that long since rumors about Ghostbusters 3 started hitting the Internet. Dan Aykroyd believes in a bunch of weird shit, and the future existence of this long-awaited sequel is not the least of it.
He recently appeared on Larry King Live to promote other things, but Larry King — poor, beyond all realms of pop culture Larry King — posited the requisite question about the sequel, and Aykroyd gave his prepared speech, which covered the points below:
It’s based upon new research that’s being done in particle physics by the young people – the young men and women at Columbia University…Basically, there’s research being done that I can say that the world or the dimension that we live in – our four planes of existence: length, height, width and time – become threatened by some of the research that’s being done. And Ghostbusters – new Ghostbusters – have to come and solve the problem.
This is astounding…ly like everything we already know about the film. Not necessarily all the planes of existence involved, but at least we know now that new Ghostbusters are getting the job. Aykroyd also promised King a job, saying he can “comment on what’s happening in Manhattan up there at Morningside Heights. It’s going to be quite a spectacular scene once the stuff starts to break.” That sounds delightfully vague, but still gets a little bit of excitement brewing.
And what of Bill Murray’s inevitable absence? Aykroyd says, “There will be a hole for him. If Billy wants to walk in the door and be in the movie, we will find a place.” Or else be the victim of a nation of Murray lovers.
It could be shooting next year to coincide with the original film’s 30th anniversary, but who knows. No one. No one knows. Check out the video below and notice the complete absence in King’s eyes when he says anything about the film, as if he hadn’t appeared in the first film.
