Harold Ramis recently spoke with Heeb Magazine about the possibility of Ghostbusters 3. Although a brief mention, he appears confident that the sequel is happening and that it will hit screens in 2011.

Something’s going to happen. Dan [Aykroyd] did write a spec GB3 screenplay a few years ago, but no one was motivated to pursue it. Now, 25 years after the original, there seems to be some willingness to proceed and apparently a substantial public appetite for a sequel. We’ll introduce some new young Ghostbusters, and all the old guys will be in it, too. Think Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future … GB3 is progressing with plans to shoot next summer and release in 2011 … Oh, and I have two one-of-a-kind Ghostbuster yarmulkessent by fans.

This is far from an official confirmation, but Ramis was a big part of the Ghostbusters franchise, having co-written both films with Dan Aykroyd. Aykroyd has been talking about doing Ghostbusters 3 for years, but when you have Ramis and Sigourney Weaver talking about doing it, the project seems slightly more validated.
