They pushed back the new Ghostbusters game to 2009 (it’s pretty much ready now) because Seth Rogan may be filming a new GB moving this year, and they want it to come out closer to the film’s release.

I’m sorry Seth rogan is not being casted into ghostbusters 3 bill murray and dan havent even finished the GB3 script as well as I dont think the fans nor myself would approve him to be in the film. Ghostbusters isn’t his style of film in any case or point.
Labarynth: The original brains behind Ghostbusters were Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd. Automopedia: It’s rumored that one of the guys from the movie “Year One” (another movie Ramis directed) has been hounding him for a part in GB3. As a matter of fact, most of the original cast are coming back to shoot this summer and the new date of release is around 2011 or 2012.
