That slow sense of creeping dread is coming from Dan Aykroyd, who recently talked with Empire Magazine about the state of Ghostbusters 3. Aykroyd told the magazine they really want Rick Moranis to be a part of the movie – which would be a coup as the actor hasn’t appeared on screen since 1997 – and that he plans to go forward with or without Bill Murray. But only once the script is right, though.

We don’t need the work, if the public only had two Ghostbusters we’d all be fine.

MakingOf.com has just sent over a really interesting interview with writer/director Harold Ramis who talks about how the upcoming Ghostbusters film came back into the picture and how he plans to get the film onto the big screen. It’s refreshing to hear how aware he is of the dangers of doing another film, and the fact that they don’t NEED another film, they’re only making it because fans seem to want it and the cast and crew thinks it would be fun. They also won’t be trying to make the film bigger and better, the best part about Ghostbusters is that it’s not about special effects, it’s about the characters and the story.

Harold Ramis‘ new comedy Year One, starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, hits theaters Friday and so far, the film looks hilarious.

The MPAA board has really been sticking it to filmmakers when it comes to content. It’s been well publicized that McG, director of Terminator Salvation has been rallying to keep a lot of his film’s footage uncut, at the dismay of 20th Century Fox. They want a PG-13 rated film, and he wants an R.

While the jury is still out on that one, the upcoming Harold Ramis comedy Year One has been having it’s own rating woes. Last week the film was branded with an R, which led to an appeal by Ramis and producer Judd Apatow. They did eventually get the PG-13 rating they wanted, but it wasn’t for free.
