This one's a curve ball, but one that could really pay off if you think about it. Charlie Kaufman's only directed one feature film (that's been released - Frank Or Francis is still apparently "in development") thus far, but he's written plenty of screenplays that have been turned into hilarious, mind-bending movies by other directors. That one film he directed, Synecdoche, New York, is probably the craziest and most ambitious of the lot, and it's a movie experience unlike any other that requires more than one viewing to fully wrap your head around. So why the hell could anyone expect from a Kaufman Ghostbusters? Well, our guess is that Bill Murray's awareness (and ensuing reluctance) that he's starring in a reboot of a 30-year-old franchise would be central to the story, which sees the surviving ghostbusters experiencing a dry spell in possessions and poltergeists in New York and deciding to fake hauntings in people's apartments so that they can come and "save the day", despite no-one knowing who any of them are or why they should care - with the exception of having vaguely recognised Murray from something or other. Bill struggles with deciding whether or not to take his own life, but knows that if he does he'll be forced to stick around with his colleagues and keep making Ghostbusters sequels for the rest of his life...
