I'd like to think he has sensible taste enough to dodge a bad script but let's not kid ourselves here.

Well, he basically admitted those were cash grabs.
Annnddddddd here come the re-writes. Not specified who yet. But Dan says they're getting a new perspective because in order to do it "it has to be perfect".
Yup, lets just hope George Lucas isn't involved in the rewritesWhat the hell was the original script of Indiana Jones like!
Both Lucas and Aykroyd were writers who had to be told, "No, let's do it this way" most of the time. It's just that Aykroyd has remained open-minded in old age.
It's offish, from ComingSoon
Is Ghostbusters 3 finally happening?
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.
It's been a long process, hasn't it?
Aykroyd previously said that in the third film, "my character’s eyesight is shot, I got a bad knee, a bad hip—I can’t drive that caddy anymore or lift that Psychotron Accelerator anymore, it’s too heavy. We need young legs, new minds—new Ghostbusters; so I’m in essence passing the torch to the new regime, and you know what? That’s totally okay with me."
Is Bill Murray doing it?
No, I can tell you he won't be involved.
How do you feel about that?
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.
Yes, but now 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.

Well BM always said he didn't want to do it....
Also I will beleive he is not involved, in some small way, until the film is released.

Well it seemed like the reason it was held off for so long was because Ramis and Akroyd wanted him in it, so at least they realized it was time to move on.
There was always a rights issue though because all the leads have to okay the greenlight. Unless Murray has given his blessing, they still can't do it as far as I know.
There is no such contract or ruling in regards to Ghostbusters 3 getting the go ahead. The problem is everyone wants Bill to be part of the project and so the studio(s) have been very reluctant to green light a third film, in many ways it is percieved that without Murray there is no Ghostbusters.
The recent news could be largly just "guff" with no real meaning or the next step in getting GB3 into theaters. By going ahead "without" Bill it sends the signals to him that hey you know what we don't need you we will take that chance without you. In turn this could lead to him having a change of heart etc.... before the whole thing is finished.
Yes, there is. Each of the four principles have a right to kill the project. Ivan Reitman secured that deal with Columbia (now Sony, obviously) decades ago.

I'm still kind of disappointed with the all female cast, with the director of bridesmaids taking the helm... It's like literally the last configuration for a reboot I'd expect or even take seriously as a concept. The script better be amazing... but from the apparent leaks... I'm not optimistic.
