HOLLYWOOD star Dan Aykroyd says he’s planning for a potential Ghostbusters movie set in Scotland.
The 71-year-old actor, who played Ray Stantz in the 1984 original, told Weekend mag that he had plans for a sequel in Scotland because there are “lots of ghosts and mythical creatures”.
It comes as the star has travelled across Scotland – including visits to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Skye and Glencoe.
If the movie idea goes ahead, it would be the fifth in the Ghostbusters franchise, not including the all-female reboot in 2016.
Speaking this weekend, Aykroyd said: “I have an idea for a sequel I would set here in the UK.
“There are lots of ghosts and mythical creatures in Scotland.”
Speaking of his visit to Scotland, he added: “I went to Skye, to the Glencoe valley, Edinburgh, Glasgow … I loved it.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
