But in recent weeks, that's started to change. Writers behind "The Office" are working on a script for a brand-new "Ghostbusters."

The question has been whether Murray will show up for it. It looks like he very well might, actually, and the reason comes from an unlikely source: the video game.

Movie site Ain't It Cool News attended Fantastic Fest this week, where Murray made a surprise appearance to promote his new movie, "City of Ember." During a Q&A, someone asked him about his thoughts on the proposed "Ghostbusters III." And that's where the game comes in…

"[Murray] also went on to say that his enthusiasm for Ghostbusters was heightened after recording the voice of Peter Venkman for the video game over the summer. In fact, he said he found himself walking down the street singing the Ghostbusters theme song and then thought people walking around him were going to start yelling at him to "get over yourself, Bill," so he stopped... But the enthusiasm was there. "

As a fellow "Ghostbusters" fanboy, this has me extremely excited. Now, we just need news on who's picking up the publishing rights to the "Ghostbusters" game.
