Dan Aykroyd and his father, Peter, appeared on this morning’s TODAY show on NBC.  While discussing Peter Aykroyd’s new book entitled “A History of Ghosts: The True Story of Seances, Mediums, Ghosts, and Ghostbusters“, Al Roker asked Dan Aykroyd about the possibility of Ghostbusters 3.

After months of silence since the mass hysteria which left Ghostbusters: The Video Game without a publisher and fans of the Ghostbusters franchise enraged, we now have new information from a trusted source.

Dan Aykroyd, father of the franchise, has confirmed that Ghostbusters: The Video Game will be published by Atari on a Dallas morning radio show.  He also noted that the game is roughly “a year away” from being released.  More as it develops.

It seems Ghostbusters 3 is quite the topic of conversation as Bill Murray continues his press junket for City of Ember.  This time Bill Murray comments on the possibility of a “Girl Ghostbuster” while comparing the idea to previous character brainstorms.

A fresh look inspired by the original film with Bill excited and behind it makes me excited and hopeful for the first time in over ten years.

Ghostbusters, which celebrates its 25th anniversary on June 8 2009, was named funniest movie of the past 25 years by Entertainment Weekly.

In the summer of 1984, the only pop-culture question more common than ”Where’s the beef?” was ”Who you gonna call?’

GBTV had the chance to sit down with Tom Morga, who served as Harold Ramis’ stunt double in the original Ghostbusters film.

Ernie Hudson recently sat down for an interview Eurogamer to talk about Ghostbusters: The Video Game and how the Ghostbusters franchise has touched his life and career.

Still, sounds like Hudson accepts intrusions as part of the price you pay for being in a hugely successful film. He also accepts the fact he’ll always be remembered as the fourth Ghostbuster, although he had a much bigger part in the original script. “I was the guy who got slimed in the hotel, but I guess the studio felt they wanted more stuff for Bill Murray,” Hudson reveals. “I was the guy who thought of the marshmallow man on the rooftop, but then it became Danny [Akroyd]’s character.”

It was only after he won the part of Winston that the decision was made to reduce the character’s role. “And they didn’t do that till the day before we started shooting, so I didn’t have time to adjust,” Hudson says. “Yeah, when the part was cut there was some frustrating stuff associated with that. But it was what it was, and it is what it is. 24 years later, people still like the movie, and I’m glad.”

Kotaku got in touch with Sierra’s Ben Borth and was able to extract a reason regarding Rick Moranis’ decision not to participate in Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

He made so much money off of Honey I Shrunk The Kids that he retired. He just doesn’t want to work anymore.

Ernie hudson answers a question about Ghostbusters III before the announcement of Ghostbusters: The Video Game during the F.A.C.T.S convention 2007.
