The "Ghostbusters 3" plot was leaked online and it was able to shed some light regarding the fate of the original team and how they will bring in the new cast. It was confirmed that "Bridesmaids" director Paul Feig will be working on the reboot and he announced that it will star hilarious women. Bill Murray, who stars as Peter Venkman in the two "Ghostbusters" movie supports the idea. In fact, he gave out his list of names during an interview with David Letterman. Included in the list were Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and Emma Stone.

Before they decided to do a remake instead of a sequel, Sony hired Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (The Office) back in 2008 to write a script for "Ghostbusters 3". According to Comic Book Movie, Sony was about to approve the script even without Bill Murray's participation but they had to go in a different direction when Harold Ramis passed away.

The second draft of the "Ghostbusters 3" plot that leaked online was published by Bloody Disgusting and it still included Bill Murray since they weren't aware that he does not want to return in the sequel. Check out some of the highlights of the script below:

"The story begins with an apparition attacking two security guards at a museum. Next is a commercial of the Ghostbusters company, which was formerly run by Dr. Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), but is now owned by CEO, Todd Prendaghast."

"The two demoted Ghostbusters as well as Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) and Oscar Barrett, the son of Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) also works for the company. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) on the other hand is now the mayor of New York City."

"The team was reunited because of the apparition that was first shown in the scene. Mayor Venkman forces Prendaghast to step down from his position and has Egon and Ray put back in charge as a reward for figuring out the identity of the evil spirit. However, they later on fired the Ghostbusters except for Oscar, who brought in three new recruits."

The new recruits will most probably be the all-female cast that Paul Feig will bring in to the movie. The epic battle will cost the lives of Venkman, Ray and Egon. The last scene showed Peter's assistant Janine coming across the ghosts of the original Ghostbusters playing cards.
