I am – Hercules!!


From an ew.com interview posted this weekend with “Ghostbusters” screenwriter/star Harold Ramis:

… According to Ramis, who cowrote and starred in the first two Ghostbusters, a third journey into the comedic supernatural is in the cards. And yes, the original cast will return: Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, and even the elusive Bill Murray. "Everybody said they'd do it," says Ramis …

If Entertainment Weekly isn’t jumping to conclusions, Moranis’ return to the role of accountant Louis Tully is big and exciting news. The SCTV vet hasn’t appeared in a movie since 1996’s “Big Bully.”

More “III” info:

* The script won’t be finished earlier than summer because screenwriters Gene Stupinksy and Lee Eisenberg are busy with their days jobs as senior writers on NBC’s “The Office.”

* Ramis, a successful director (“Caddyshack,” “Groundhog Day”) who has not directed a “Ghostbusters” movie, doesn’t intend to direct the third one either.

* Dan Aykroyd’s “Ghostbusters III” premise that would have sent Peter Venkmen and his crew to Hell is not part of the Stupinksy/Eisenberg version of “III.”
