NEWSCHUNKS for 05.21.09

DUSHKU, MILANO TO BECOME GHOSTBUSTERS?: Dan Aykroyd tells the Los Angeles Times that shooting could begin as soon as this summer for a third Ghostbusters movie. He reports that Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson are all slated to appear. He also said the film could include a "new generation," co-ed team of Ghostbusters, possibly including Charmed's Alyssa Milano and Dollhouse's Eliza Dushku. Dushku later tweeted that she'd be interested in a role: "Ahh, just saw the article, Danny A's genius! There are so many ways I'd 'suit' up. GB's IS hot :)"

SPIELBERG TO EXEC PRODUCE NEW ALIEN INVASION SERIES: Sci Fi Scoop reports that TNT is launching a new alien invasion TV series executive produced by Steven Spielberg. The show will be set six months after an alien invasion began, and will follow a group of everyday folk who gather to fight for humanity. (I bet TNT is just thrilled about that higher-profile V remake that's soon to air on ABC.)

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS TV SERIES COMING: Nickelodeon is planning a series based on the CGI blockbuster. No word yet on which members of the film's A-list cast (if any) will reprise their roles for the series.

FLASH FORWARD CLIP ONLINE: The first clip is online from Flash Forward, the upcoming sci-fi drama from Dark Knight co-writer David S. Goyer and former Enterprise producer Brannon Braga. Unfortunately the pair's previous team-up was the underwhelming and short-lived UFO series Threshold, so I don't have high hopes for this one.
