That’s what the trades reported this week. First, the Hollywood Reporter:

Who’s Sony going to call to pen its reboot of “Ghostbusters”?

Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg.

The studio has recruited “The Office” writer-producers to work on a new installment of the 1980s franchise that starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis as bumbling ghost-hunting scientists.

Why Stupnitsky and Eisenberg? Per the Daily Variety:

The scribes just wrote “Year One,” a comedy that was directed by Ramis. Ramis with Aykroyd wrote the first two installments of the films. Ivan Reitman directed both the 1984 original and the sequel that was released in 1989. The close proximity between the writers and original Ghostbuster Ramis is evidence that the ghost chasers have sparked to the idea of returning.

Put yourselves in these writers’ shoes. Okay, not their $500 Italian shoes, their symbolic shoes. Imagine you’ve been given the responsibility of resurrecting a movie franchise that was Columbia’s biggest grossing movie before Spiderman.

Pressure much? Well, it’s all relative. Stupnitsky and Eisenberg do work on The Office – and they sold a spec script for big bucks recently. So I doubt any of us should lose sleep over their ‘plight’ with Ghostbusters.

But hey, there are so many 80s movies being developed as remakes. If I get the chance, I’ll try to put together a list of the top ones. Meanwhile, here’s one of the Ghostbusters himself talking about a possible remake.
