Greta Gerwig from 'Greenberg' joins 'Friends'

Greta Gerwig, who delivered an unbelievably awesome performance in Noah Baumbach's "Greenberg," is joining Ivan Reitman's new comedy, which was formerly titled "Friends with Benefits." The film also stars Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher. Kevin Kline, Ophelia Lovibond and Ben Lawson.

The film follows two friends who try and find out whether they can have a sexual relationship without falling in love. Variety says Gerwig plays a friend of Portman's character, "the first to recognize signs that Kutcher's character has become smitten with her friend." Elizabeth Meriwether wrote the script.

Yes! Ivan Reitman will direct 'Ghostbusters III'

"Ghostbusters III" has a director, and guess what? It's Ivan Reitman, of course. Reitman also directed the first two films in the series, and he recently told MTV he will indeed be back to helm the third flick.

That's pretty cool news. Reitman said Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky have completed a first draft of the script, and they are currently working on a second. He didn't go into detail, but he said he's happy.

"We are working our way through another draft... good work is being done and all of us have our fingers crossed," Reitman told MTV. "I hope to start shooting in this next year." (The film may open 2011.)

Sigourney Weaver recently talked details in terms of story, but Reitman refused to talk about these 'rumors.' What we do know though is that "Ghostbusters III" will feature a bunch of younger Ghosbusters.

Harold Ramis gives 'Ghostbusters III' update

We've been hearing a lot of stuff about "Ghostbusters III" lately, and although the project is moving ahead for sure, many things are still a bit blurry.

The folks over at ComingSoon recently asked Harold Ramis about the third "Ghostbusters" flick, and the actor/director gave them a quick update on where things are at this stage:

"I wrote the story for the new movie with them, and Dan and I've been consulting. We're just waiting to see a first draft and where we are," he said. "Everyone says they'll do it, they've all said they'll do it."

As far as directing the sequel is concerned, Ramis said he's not sure whether Ivan Reitman or himself would want the job:

"I don't think he wants to; I'm not sure I want to (direct). It's just a lot of open questions. Until we see a script, I don't think anyone really knows how they feel about it," he said.

That's it already for the latest "Ghostbusters III" update. Head over to CS for some more from Ramis.
