Dan Aykroyd Insists Ghostbusters 3 Will Begin Shooting Soon
From imdb.com:
Dan Aykroyd has confirmed the third Ghostbusters movie is all set to go before the cameras – with the original cast in place to reprise the characters from the 1984 film.
The movie star reveals Sigourney Weaver has signed on for the project, alongside himself, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson – and the film could start shooting this winter.
Aykroyd still fears the project could “blow up” “at any second” but he hopes the new film will herald in a new generation of all-girl Ghostbusters.
He tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, “I’d like it to be a passing-of-the-torch movie. Let’s revisit the old characters briefly and happily and have them there as family but let’s pass it on to a new generation.”
And the actor wants Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku to consider becoming part of the Ghostbusters family: “I think they’re amazing.”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I’ll believe it when I see the first production still. Until then, as Akroyd put it, the movie has a big chance to “blow up” and never happen. With so many stars involved, including the rumored return-to-acting from Rick Moranis, it seems like all the talk of Ghostbusters 3 is simply fueled by the hype of the franchise reaching its 25th anniversary next month. If the project survives the hype surrounding the anniversary, highly-anticipated upcoming video game (for which the above-referended Alyssa Milano lends her voice), and long-awaited release of action figures featuring the actors’ likenesses, then I’ll start to believe it’s actually going to happen.

Just a few days after it was reported that Sigourney Weaver would not have a role in the upcoming Ghostbusters video game, Alyssa Milano joins the cast…
From action-figure.com:
Atari unveils Alyssa Milano as the new love interest in the forthcoming blockbuster title Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Alyssa Milano is best known for her roles in long running successful television series “Who’s the Boss”, “Melrose Place”, “Charmed” and most recently “My Name Is Earl” to name a few. Milano joins members of the original cast from the beloved Ghostbusters movies to recreate the unique blend of humour and fright that established Ghostbusters as a pop culture sensation.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game prides itself in staying true to the Ghostbusters universe, so it just wouldn’t feel right if Bill Murray’s character, Dr. Peter Venkman, wasn’t turning on the charm. In Ghostbusters: The Video Game, he’s chasing one in particular: Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn is a smart and sassy archaeologist who doesn’t take too kindly to Dr. Venkman’s advances.
In the game, Milano’s character, Ilyssa Selwyn, is an expert in Sumerian and pre-Sumerian cultures and is visiting New York City as guest curator for the highly anticipated ‘World of Gozer’ exhibition opening in 1991 at the Natural History Museum. In the story line, Gozerian mythology has attracted a wide popular following since the still-unexplained events and attacks that occurred in the city in 1984. Ilyssa is working late at the museum the night before the opening when a cataclysmic force is unleashed and summons an ancient enemy back to New York City. Strange events continue to erupt around her: what secret does she know? It’s up to the Ghostbusters to help Ilyssa find the key and stop the forces of evil that threaten the balance of the universe. That’s if they can keep Peter Venkman from hitting on her every three minutes.
The June 16 release date for this game cannot come soon enough.
