Ghostbusters set for comeback?

Office USA writers to create script

Hopes of another Ghostbusters movie have been given a boost as two writers of the US version of The Office have been hired to produce a script.

It is hoped the new film will reunite the original cast of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.

Hollywood trade newspaper Variety reports that Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky have been hired to write the second sequel for the 1984 comedy hit.

However Columbia Pictures has declined to comment on whether the film is in development.

Director John Landis, who has worked with the writers as well as the original stars of Ghostbusters said: ‘I'm not involved but I know it's happening.’

Last year the original Ghostbusters cast signed up to lend their faces and voices to a computer game, which has yet to see the light of day.
