When we found out Bill Murray wasn't coming back for a third Ghostbusters installment, fans figured it was all over.

If we were going to get a Part 3, we'd need some divine intervention.

But it looks like when someone asked him if he was a god, Dan Aykroyd said YES!

Paramount reportedly WILL be making Ghostbusters 3 next year, shooting for a release in 2014- the 30th anniversary of the original film's debut.

Sadly, it sounds like the movie is right back in square one.

While signing autographs for fans at a recent event for his Crystal Head Vodka, Dan Aykroyd revealed that he is still adamantly trying to get Ghostbusters 3 made.

We last heard that Bill Murray officially turned down a role in the film, but now the two writers who were working on the script have moved on too!

Never fear, Ray is still here and he's hired NEW writers to get the job done. Here's what he said when asked about his passion project:

Oooh. This should be good!!

In The Campaign, Zach Galifianakis is a quirky but concerned citizen who runs for congress against Frank the Tank Will Ferrell, a powerfully corrupt incumbent.

We’ve wanted to see these funny-men together for awhile and now years and we get to watch them duke it out!!

We’re curious which

It was an inevitable reality, but it still stinks.

Ghostbusters 3 has long been delayed, mainly due to Bill Murray very vocally adamant about not wanting to participate, and now, Dan Aykroyd has come forward to confirm that his former co-star will not be returning for the third installment, but production is still a go!

He explains:

The duo made famous by Dan Aykroyd and the late John Belushi will be reincarnated in a new TV version that is currently being pitched to studios and networks.

The pilot has the Blues Brothers out of jail with Elwood, who was raised in an orphanage, looking for his real father.

John Belushi's ex-wife Judy Belushi, who owns the rights along with Aykroyd, will co-executive produce the project. Aykroyd will have involvement in the show as Jake and Elwood's parole officer.

Judy Belushi spoke about the TV project, saying:

At least he wasn't drinking Crystal Head Vodka and driving…

Yesterday morning, Dan Aykroyd was pulled over for speeding while ironically driving over to the Honda Indy Toronto race, for which he was the grand marshal.

Here's what Dan had to say about his incident:

"You know when you see these races, you want to get into your vehicles and drive home and you do it trying to imitate the driver. That won't be me this afternoon."

Fortunately for Dan, he was let off with a warning as long as he promised the officer that he would convince Bill Murray to do Ghostbusters III.

…Okay, so that's not actually true about GB III…but we figured we'd take this time to remind Dan Aykroyd that we're STILL waiting for that movie to happen!!!!

Have you been drinking a bit too much of that Crystal Head vodka, Dan Aykroyd?

Last month, Aykroyd confirmed that Bill Hader and Anna Faris were under consideration for roles in Ghostbusters 3, but neither of them knew ANYTHING about it.

Here's what Bill Hader has to say about his Ghostbusters involvement:

"I heard about it the same way you guys did! I went online and was like, ‘Woah! Cool!’ All my friends were calling, ‘Are you gonna be in Ghostbusters 3?’ I obviously am very flattered, but I don’t know anything about it."

Anna Faris has also said that she hadn't been contacted about the film, but she's made it clear that she'd love to do it.

Maybe Dan called both of them, but GHOSTS answered, mimicking their voices!

Who knows, maybe WEIRD stuff will start happening around this film, kind of like how the movie Poltergeist was cursed. LOLs.
