Weaver wants son to be Ghostbuster

Sigourney Weaver has one condition for Ghostbusters 3

Sigourney Weaver will return to Ghostbusters 3 - but only if her on-screen son can join in.

The Alien actress would gladly reprise her role as haunted home-owner Dana Barrett in the forthcoming third instalment, provided there's a part in the script for her character's offspring, Oscar, who was kidnapped by the ghouls in the second movie.

"The one thing I said is that I'll do it if Oscar, my little son, can be a Ghostbuster, and I think (director) Ivan Reitman liked that idea," she told Entertainment Weekly.

She added: "I saw Bill Murray at the Scream Awards, and he said we're gonna do it, but I'm not sure. I think no-one's really read a script. But I've talked to Ivan Reitman. He definitely wants to do it. There was a script that was being rewritten as of about a year ago."

The original team of Ghostbusters - Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz), Bill Murray (Peter Venkman) and Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler) - are reported to be returning, with a new generation of ghoul-fighters including Bill Hader and Anna Faris.

Dan is working on the script with screenwriters Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg.

"We have a strong first draft that Harold and I will take back, and I'm very excited about working on it," he has said.

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Taurus:

An embarrassing secret will come to light, affecting your reputation. Somebody who once admired you will now turn away in dismay. Instead of trying to win their affection again, lay low for a wee while. You'll make a much better impression by letting your actions speak for themselves. There is a chance this relationship is beyond redemption. If your former friend decides to keep their distance, you will have no other choice than to respect their feelings. Better luck next time.More
