Well, it's been a week now and no update or clarification from Aykroyd.
After listening to the interview again I think that all that has happened is Dan has called Bill to ask him if he'd do it. I think all that Dan has at the moment is a gentlemans agreement with Bill. Here's how the conversation probably went:
Dan
Hi Bill?
Bill
Yes. who's askin'
Dan
It's Danny!
Bill
Danny! How are you?
Dan
Just great Bill. You?
Bill
So so. Anyway, to what do I owe the pleasure of this call? It's not about doing another Ghostbusters movie again is it? ha ha ha!
Dan
…..no!
Bill
so what is it then?
Dan
alright then it is about doin' another Ghostbusters but WAIT. Don't hang up okay!
Bill
(yawns) Oh god…Okay I'm listenin'.
Dan
Okay, now I know you don't wanna do another Ghostbusters and I respect that. But how about doing a CGI Ghostbusters?
Bill
CG what?
Dan
a cartoon?
Bill
hmmm
Dan
A third Ghostbusters movie that's completely made up of computer generated effects! I know that you've done a bit of voice work here and there with the Garfield movies. How would you feel about voicing Peter Venkman in an animated ghostbusters movie?
Bill
And I wouldn't actually have to appear in the movie? No getting slimed? No lugging around a heavy backpack?
Dan
No no. Just your voice.
Bill
Sounds interesting.
Dan
Is that a yes?
Bill
Have Harold and Ernie agreed to be in it?
Dan
……..huh?
bill
Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson. Have they agreed to do this already?
Dan
………yep (lying)
Bill
…yes? Yes okay I'll do it.
Dan
That's great. Thankyou bill.
Bill
Don't mention it. Do you have a script you can send me?
Dan
I faxed it over five minutes ago!
Bill
Oh! Do we have a production company?
Dan
huh?
Bill
Money! Do we have money? Who's gonna make this thing?
Dan
No no… I'm working on that.
Bill
That's just great! Listen, call me back when you've found someone that's actually gonna make this movie okay?
Dan
okay.
Bill
bye.
