Ben Stiller is being lined up to star in a new 'Ghostbusters' movie.

The comic actor is wanted for the long-awaited third instalment of the popular '80s film series by the film's director Harold Ramis.

Ramis admits he is such a "huge fan" of Stiller's work he wants him to join actors Dan Aykroyd and Rick Moranis, who both starred in the original movies opposite Bill Murray, in the sequel 'Ghostbusters In Hell'.

Aykroyd is writing the script for the film which will see the paranormal investigators transported to a parallel dimension from New York.

Ramis revealed: "When the Ghostbusters step out of this portal, it looks just like New York but it's hell.

"No cars are moving and all the drivers are swearing at each other in different foreign languages. All the worst things about modern urban life - just magnified."

It is not yet known if Murray will reprise his role as Dr. Peter Venkman in the new movie or whether Sigourney Weaver will appear again as his love interest, Dana Barrett.
