Hey, remember all the hullabaloo earlier this year about the Ghostbusters game? Well, put on your proton packs because the Ghostbusters game is now official. No, it's not the Zootfly created prototype that started this mess, but rather an entirely new project created by Sierra (most recently known for TimeShift). According to Variety, Vivendi -- Sierra's parent company -- forked over a gargantuan sum to purchase the license from Sony. The game is scheduled to release in the fall of 2008.
But all of that malarkey is just an hors d'oeuvre for the real news: nearly the entire cast of the films has signed on to reprise their roles in the game, including their voices and likenesses. That's Bill "Pete" Murray, Harold "Egon" Ramis, Ernie "Winston" Hudson, and Dan "Ray" Aykroyd. Not only that, but several supporting characters will be returning as well, including Annie Potts as Janine. Aykroyd and Ramis will be writing the story for the game as well.
