Dan Aykroyd has been receiving a flurry of press lately.  In Easthampton this weekend dining at Georgica, he caused a stir when he walked into the kitchen to joke with the chefs. He then made the rounds of other establishments, mixing drinks behind the bar and performing songs from the Blues Brothers. And yesterday, the New York Times ArtsBeat blog revisited Ghostbusters.

Hmm...is all this press leading up to something? There has been talk of a new Ghostbusters movie. The Guardian reported in May: “all the players have stated their intentions to go back, and a script is being written by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg.”

Could a release date be far behind?? In the meantime, here is a clever re-imagining of Ghostbusters as it might have been made in 1954, as opposed to 1984.

And on Oct 25, Peter and Dan Aykroyd are here at 92Y for Ghosts and Other Creepy Things, discussing among other things, the delightful story that inspired Dan to make the mega-hit Ghostbusters.
