History

Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis struggled for years to get started on a third Ghostbusters film, but they were unable to come up with a script with which they were satisfied. The possibility of a third film grew even more complicated as Bill Murray's interest in reprising his role waned over the years, and at one point Aykroyd felt that a third film would probably never happen. Aykroyd had written a working script, and Murray agreed to reprise a bit part, but Columbia would not get on board due to the cost.^{[citation needed]} Harold Ramis (born November 21, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American actor, director, and writer. ...

On February 2, 2007, Dan Aykroyd confirmed Ghostbusters III was still in development as an all-computer-generated feature film, which Aykroyd claimed would drastically lower the $150 million budget that Columbia balked at in 1999. In an interview on CISN, Aykroyd indicated the long-standing plot in which the Ghostbusters travel to a hellish version of New York was still in the works and that Bill Murray was still on board to reprise his role as Venkman.
