More Ghostbusters III Non-News from Aykroyd

I'm sure Dan Aykroyd is a very kind-hearted and sweet person in real life. But God.dammit! am I sick of him talking about the "status" of Ghostbusters III.

No offense to him personally. But every answer he gives to the press is a variation of the following:

1. "Right now, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky are writing the script as we speak. Of course, they write for 'The Office' and already worked with Harold [Ramis] on his new film ['Year One']. So I'm curious to see what these kids have cooked up."

2. "Yeah, everyone is coming back."

3. "This one will involve the old group, but also a younger set of characters that we train to 'pass the torch.' As you can imagine, we have a quiet a handful of fresh talent for us to sort through to see who will be joining us in this new go-around."

4. "Hopefully, we'll be filming within a year or so."

The LA Times recently caught up with the Man Who Was Elwood Blues where upon he basically reiterated examples 1-4. But also added that production could move forward as soon as winter and his desire for "several female members" this time out. Again where haven't we heard this before?

Am I being a dick? Probably. But until we hear something genuinely new regarding the film (which I have no doubt will get made - especially with the current batch of 80s nostalgia projects in development), I won't waste my time covering it.
