Sadly not this Ivan. But Ivan Reitman will. That is, presuming Ghostbusters 3 does ahead. Reitman told MTV that, if the sequel is officially greenlit, then he will step up to the helm.

He also added that the script's first draft, from Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (of the US Office), is finished: "there are some very cool things in it". As of Sigourney Weaver's recent remarks, he did not confirm or deny them - Bill Murray's Peter Venkman may still yet be a ghost. For better or worse.

Either way, Ivan's hoping to shoot by the end of the year. Which is good news - I think. With shiny new CGI and ageing actors, this may end up less phantastic and more a pile of gooey crap. I ain't afraid of no ghosts. But I am a teensy bit scared of Ghostbusters 3.

Your best mate, the guy down the pub, even your bin man - everyone seems to know something about Ghostbusters 3. But holster your Proton Packs, because here to bust those rumours for good is Sigourney Weaver herself. Chatting to Channel 4 News about Avatar (don't act like you haven't heard about it), she let slip a few details about the much-mooted sequel.

"I’m afraid to say it: Ghostbusters 3 is happening. I hope people are excited about that. I don’t know if I’m going to be in it, I have had a couple of calls asking "would you read the script?" But what is in this script she speaks of? "I know that my little son Oscar – who was kidnapped from me – I think he has grown up to be a ghostbuster... I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don’t think I will have a big part. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it - he’s a ghost."

Does that mean Peter Venkman will be the new Slimer? Keep watching the walls, folks - we'll start stalking Murray now and let you know. Unless we get arrested first.

"Who am I, Kylie? Why a fox? Why not a horse, or a beetle, or a bald eagle? I'm saying this more as, like, existentialist, you know...?" The kids certainly won't. We all remember Mr Fox from our childhood days, that chicken-stealing ground-digging rascally Roald Dahl rogue. But as Wes Anderson's stop-motion starts up, you quickly realise that this is not the Mr Fox you read about as a child. This is Wes Anderson's Mr Fox. And he's got style.

The London Film Festival kicks off tonight with its opening gala feature, Fantastic Mr Fox. No, we’re not there tonight – there wasn’t enough space on the carpet (even in my most slimming suit, I take up quite a bit of space in the behind region) – but you know where we were? At The Dorchester for the opening press conference for Wes Anderson’s stop-motion take on Roald Dahl’s classic kid’s novel.

Also in the room were George Clooney, Wes Anderson, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Eric Anderson, Wally Wolodarsky, Jarvis Cocker, and George Clooney (did I mention him already?). Sitting with tongue out, pencil in hand, taking in the delights of the beautiful Ballroom, the room erupted into applause when the stars took to the (very tiny) stage. Then the questions began...
