Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase team up for new comedy

PanARMENIAN.Net - Dan Aykroyd may be stuck in his quest to resurrect Ghostbusters, but now he's resurrecting the past in a new movie endeavor, The Hollywood reporter said.

The actor/writer/director wrote on his Facebook page late Monday, March 19 night that he is working with his old Saturday Night Live castmate, Chevy Chase.

"Chevy (Chase) and I are about to start work on a script concept for a comedy movie," Aykroyd wrote. "Cannot say too much about the concept, but the joy of working with him again is one that I am extremely excited about. Chevy is one of my favourite people, and one of the great anarchistic and physically committed comedians in the business."

This pairing directly contrasts Aykroyd's struggle with another SNL castmember, Bill Murray, who refuses to star in a revival of the Ghostbusters franchise.

The pair have worked together on a movie set before, as Chase starred in Aykroyd's 1991 directorial debut, Nothing But Trouble.

Currently, Chase stars in NBC's sitcom Community, while Aykroyd featured in the 2010 animated comedy Yogi Bear and will have a role in the upcoming Will Ferrell-Zach Galifianakis political comedy The Campaign.
