Veteran movie comedian DAN AYKROYD has ruled out the possibility of a third GHOSTBUSTERS film - because co-star BILL MURRAY doesn't want to be involved.

Dan, 51, admits all the original team would like to make another installment but unless Bill changes his mind it won't happen.

He says, "Never. That will never happen. Unless Bill Murray agrees. Everyone else would love to do it, COLUMBIA, HAROLD RAMIS, myself, director IVAN REITMAN.

"It's a five-way rights situation and Bill is locking up his piece of the rights because he feels that was work that he just wants preserved and he doesn't want it diluted.

"And as an artist I can respect that."
