He ain't afaird of no ghost. Just a shitty sequel.
From internet reports, rumor and innuendo it appears the proposed third installment in the Ghostbusters saga could be in major trouble and in what might be the most damning news for the project...it might be Murrayless.
Dan Akroyd told Empire that Bill Murray may not return as Peter Venkman.
Even more intriguingly, Aykroyd hinted that Bill Murray may not return as Peter Venkman, and that the character could be played by a different actor, a la Jack Ryan.
[Talking about Ghostbusters 3 generally] "The script must be perfect. We cannot release a film that is any less than that. We have more work to do."
Vague, granted, but there you go. As for the internet rumour that Murray recently shredded a Ghostbusters 3 script and sent it back with a note that said, "No-one wants to pay money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts", Aykroyd denied it with vigour.
"Bill Murray is not capable of such behaviour. This is simply something that would not be in his nature. We have a deep, private personal relationship that transcends business. We communicate frequently and his position on the involvement in Ghostbusters 3 has been made clear and I respect that. But Bill has too much positive estimation of my writing skills to shred the work."
I don't blame Murray for not wanting to make a terrible sequel. You want to leave on a high note. That's what makes Back to the Future 3 so upsetting. I'm just hoping they get their thinking caps on and get a script put together worthy of Murray's return. I bet Ernie Hudson could use the money. I don't think he's worked in years.
