Dan Akroyd has said that the third Ghostbusters film is now being developed  by a new writing team.

We’ve got a new writing staff working on it now. It’s got to be perfect. That’s the whole thing. There’s no point in doing it unless it’s perfect. So that’s what we’re up to now,” Aykroyd said.

Aykroyd and co-star Harold Ramis wrote the original 1984 Ghostbusters film and 1989′s Ghostbusters II. Both films also starred Bill Murray and were directed by Ivan Reitman. A third film has been stuck in development for over a decade.

Last August, Aykroyd said that the sequel had an “excellent script” written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who also worked together on Bad Teacher and several episodes of the US version of The Office.

The biggest hurdle for a new film is Bill Murray’s to confirm his involvement in the film. However, Aykroyd suggested last year that the third film could go ahead without him. He said at the time: “Yes, we will be doing the movie and hopefully with Mr Murray. That is our hope. We have an excellent script. What we have to remember is that Ghostbusters is bigger than any one component, although Billy was absolutely the lead and contributed to it in a massive way.”
