He seems determined to never allow this to happen. He's such a bastard that he even showed up to Spike's Scream Awards in his full Ghostbusters uniform. lol Talk about a tease.

And yeah, apparently the plan is to pass the torch onto a new team of Ghostbuster because the original team members are now too fat and old to do it. Oscar, the little baby from part 2, would be all grown up and be one of the members of the team. And Murray has even been quoted as saying that the only way he'd ever be in a Ghostbusters 3 is as a ghost. Well, the screenwriters actually delivered a screenplay with just that and still no dice.

I'm honestly not sure how I'd feel about another movie. I LOVE the original more than words can say and I really like part 2 as well. The cartoons were great too. I really don't think that another movie could ever live up to my expectations. But, on the other hand, I've always wanted to see another feature film come out.

And I believe that game on PS3 and XBox is considered canon. So that's technically Ghostbusters 3 right there. One thing I think we all can agree on that would be good is that if another movie were to be made a new toy line would most likely follow. I wouldn't be mad at that at all.

All of this is correct but to add on to it ...

Akroyd does see ones of the new recruits as a girl ...

and Murrays big thing originally was that the script they had had been done by the team that did the Jack Black movie Year One ... which he referred to as the Istar of comedies and refused to sign his name to approve anything that was subpar just to cash in. This was in addition to his reservations over the experience of GB2.

Recnetly Akroyd suggested rather vaguely as if he they had found a loop whole that would allow them to do it without Murrays sign off.
