Ghostbusters 3 is officially moving forward, but without Bill Murray

There have been many ups and downs when it comes to the third movie in the Ghostbusters franchise but fans will be happy to know that it is officially moving forward and being made.

While being interviewed by Metro, Dan Aykroyd has revealed that the movie is definitely pushing forward now that it has a new writer and studio support.

"Yes, we've got a brilliant new writer on it and we'll be passing the torch on to a new generation. We're working on it to make it just right to satisfy our fans. I'm confident we'll be in production in the next year. ... we've got the studio on side. We've tried a few concepts which weren't right but now we've got a good structure and will make it happen."

With that decided there is only one question left on the minds of fans. "Will Bill Murray be a part of the film?"

"No, I can tell you he won't be involved. ... It's sad but we're passing it on to a new generation. Ghostbusters 3 can be a successful movie without Bill. My preference would be to have him involved but at this point he doesn't seem to be coming and we have to move on. It's time to make the third one."

So what do you make of this news? Are you excited that Ghostbusters 3 is finally moving forward? Do you think it'll still be a great movie without Bill Murray on board?
