Pretty much everyone BUT Bill Murray is saying this movie is going to happen. The most recent edition has come from Harold Ramis:
“And what are you working on now?”
“Well, there’s been a lot of talk about a third Ghostbusters film, which has now become real.”
“Really?!”
“It’s… I can say with some certainty that there will be a third movie. It won’t be out until Christmas 2012, but the work is going on now.”
“You’ll be in it?”
“All the old guys will be back, we’ll introduce some new guys…”
“Egon comes back, huh?”
“Egon, yeah, yeah…”
Also, in this super kick-ass video about a fan Ecto-1 that makes me extraordinarily envious, Dan mentions there being a new Ecto-1 and some new ghostbustin’ gear:

I don’t know how keen I am on a new Ecto 1 or equipment (Extreme Ghostbusters anyone?). But it would make sense to have updated all that over the course of 25 years. Most likely the Ecto-1 would’ve been destroyed at some point. Meh. Mo’ Ghostbusters is mo’ Ghostbusters. I can’t complain.
