At the London Film Festival I attended the press conference for Chloe (Atom Egoyen’s new film starring Liam Neeson, Julian Moore and Amanda Seyfried) attending the press conference were Egoyen, Moore, Seyfried and the producer Ivan Reitman – director and producer of the Ghostbusters movies. Ivan gave us a nice little update on the progress of Ghostbusters 3.

‘I produced and directed the first two, I would feel very weird to give it up to someone else for the third one. The key question is can we get a script that best honours particularly the first movie, its somehow held on after over 25 years, people respond to it in a remarkable way. The Ghostbusters game came out a year ago which turned out to be the 2^nd most popular game in the world, it reminded us that wow people really love these characters, Sony has been desperate for another sequel, they really hired these writers on there own, slowly Harold Ramis, Dan Ayckroyd and I have got on board, I’ve been meeting now regularly with the writers trying to get a draft everyone can sign off on and that’s where we are. Probably in the Ten or more years since the last one this is probably the best shot we’ve had at it’
