Damn, it received a lot of attention since the first youtube videos released years ago (followed by copyright issues), and it seemed in an advanced state of development by now.
Personally, I'm more worried than happy about a third Ghostbusters movie. When Dan Aykroid tries to raise again a franchise it usually ends up in tears (Ghostbusters 2 and Blues Brothers 2000 weren't exactly masterpieces). On the other hand, the game looked wonderful and already was in a playable state judging by the interviews and movies.
GAME EDIT: it was actually scheduled for halloween 2008 and delayed to early 2009, so it was in fact almost ready. The game was cancelled due to the Blizzard / Activision merge. Hopefully, they'll find another publisher before the movie production studios decide to can it in favour of a poor and uninspired tie in (which IMO is unlikely due to copyright issues... now that the movie is in the works, I doubt Vivendi / Blizzard / Activision / Whatever wants to lose the rights in favour of another publisher).
MOVIE EDIT: it looks like the movie will be a reboot of the franchise in the vein of Batman, Superman and the upcoming Star Trek (god help us, being directed by J.J. Abrahams). The original authors are aware and involved in the project, but probably only marginally.
