First Confirmation that Murray is On Board Ghostbusters 3?
Whoa. Entertainment Weekly just got a great quote in an interview with Sigourney Weaver, where she talks about the Scream Awards, chatting with Bill Murray there and yes, him confirming that they are going to do the third film. But, but, and why must there always be a but, she also says that nobody has read a script yet. WTF?

Hader Joins Faris in Not Knowing What's Up with GBIII
Bill Hader chatted with IndieWire about the Ghostbusters III casting rumor started by What's Playing and purportedly furthered by Dan Aykroyd last month. Hader's response? Very similar to Faris' answer... another case of "I'm obviously am very flattered, but I don’t know anything about it." Well at least he takes it as flattery! Read more at IndieWire above.
While Faris and Hader have not heard anything from the studio, it still may be too early for Sony to be making phone calls. Nobody ever said they were cast, just in the running and liked by the studio. These new articles really don't add anything to the conversation except to say that things aren't up to full speed production-wise just yet.

Anna and Aykroyd Talk Ghostbusters III
A quick update, since not much new is revealed. Ghostbusters News posted the first Faris interview about Ghostbusters 3 via Making Of. Sounds like she hasn't even talked to Aykroyd about it, certainly not on set, would be excited to do it, though she has no idea how she could be involved.
Below we have video from an Aykroyd's red carpet Yogi interview conducted by HollyScoop HollyScoop. He talks about how working with Faris is always great, that he's not the director and she's have to read the script of course.
Pretty standard business reply, sounds like he doesn't want to alienate Faris if for some reason she's not in it.

Aykroyd Lets Loose a Weird Meccano Set Analogy
The Globe and Mail's Monday Q&A with Dan Aykroyd got right to the point about Ghostbusters 3. Aykroyd proceeded to dull that point a bit.
Hard to make heads or tails out of this one. Script praise gets better and better with each interview, that's for sure. This might be the 5th time he's uttered the phrase "role of a lifetime" for Murray. The rest sounds like a similar boys-in-grey grey area to his last interview, where he mentioned now it is just a matter of doing what must be done to produce a film.
Let's hope the next interviewer can push him with a "what the hell does that even mean, is it greenlit or not?".
We have an excellent script. Really good, probably one of the best comic scripts I've ever read. We've written [Bill] Murray the role of a lifetime. It's just a matter of, now we've got the plans, but the Meccano set is disassembled. The bolts and paint and struts have to be held together so one day we can make the movie.

Brand New Aykroyd Interview! Same Old Info.
Aykroyd's First Yogi Bear interviews are off to a start and Entertainment Tonight wasted no time getting right to Dan with Ghostbusters 3 questions!
Unfortunately it's not as much of a grilling as a retelling of the same old info. We could try to infer that the script is greenlit and they are in production from his comments about producing, but it's too close to call.

Working With Murray on Will Ferrell's To-Do List
Will Ferrell dropped a little interview love on Bleeding Cool for MegaMind's release. With it came an admission that he would love to work with Bill Murray.
He also drops mention of Ghostbusters 3, but as something that he might check into, not something he's already a part of. "I’ve always been such a big fan and I think he’s such a great comedic actor, but also a really interesting ‘regular’ actor. I should try getting in the mix for Ghostbusters 3."
