Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghostbusters Gear Up Again

Posted Sep 5, 08 3:20 PM CDT in Business,  Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Mystical evildoers, beware: The Ghostbusters are back. A team of writers from The Office will provide the script for the third installment of the blockbuster franchise, Variety reports. The stars of the 1984 film and its 1989 sequel, including Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, are slated to return, but disagreements over cast compensation could yet stall the production's progress.
