Office Writers to Pen a New Ghostbusters

If there's something strange in your neighborhood, it's probably because Columbia Pictures is calling on
Ghostbusters again. It's been years since it was still Columbia Pictures' highest-grossing film, but the studio's getting ready to revive it for a fresh franchise.
Adding some insurance that the blockbuster begets box-office glory, Columbia hired
The Office's coexecutive producers, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, to pen the new script. The hope is that original cast members Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson would return for the redux.
While a cast reunion isn't yet official, some of the key players have lately been in close proximity to each other: Eisenberg and Stupnitsky just wrote
Year One, which Ramis will direct.
Is a new, ghost-fighting franchise a good idea, or a ghoulish concept? -
