Bill Murray Confirms Ghostbusters 3 Rumor

Bill Murray in Ghostbusters 3

In speaking with Mail Online, Bill Murray apparently confirmed that he’ll be back for Ghostbusters 3 — as a ghost.

Back in December, while out promoting Avatar, Ghostbusters co-star Sigourney Weaver let it slip that Murray would be a ghost in the planned Ghostbusters sequel, saying “I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it – he might be a ghost.” Then last month, when Ivan Reitman revealed that he’d be directing the movie, he was asked about the rumor and said “I’m not going to comment on what’s in the script and on what Sigourney may or may not have said.” Now, Murray has seemingly confirmed it. Here’s what he had to say:

I’ll come back in Ghostbusters III only if I get to be a ghost. I said to them, ‘I’ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.’ So now they are going to have me as a ghost in the film.

So I guess that settles the issue. No word on when the movie will start production or when we can expect it in theaters.

  • Please, no dead Venkman!!!

    I am very fond of Bill Murray as an entertainer (don’t know him as a person), but I believe he and the other people who are on this project are using very poor judgement if this movie will indeed “kill off” Peter Venkman. That’s like chocolate with no sugar. It is bitter, empty, and is about as desirable as a rainy Monday. There’s nothing you can do to spruce it up, it’s still Monday, and it’s still raining. That’s Ghostbusters without Peter Venkman.

    I am hoping that the people who are making this movie will take notice of the comments that have been posted about this movie throughout the internet. I wish I could look forward to this movie, I really do. I would be very excited about this, if I thought there were anything worth looking forward to. On the contrary, this sounds sad and depressing.

    Here is my request to Bill Murray, Ivan Reitman, and Sony Pictures: Please re-think this. There are some things that aren’t worth chasing for the sake of assuaging personal druthers; especially, where there is little to gain from it. I cannot see how a movie that kills off it’s staple character can be successful or appealing. If the dead Venkman rumors are untrue, please come out and say so. Give people something to get excited about. This is just a movie, of course it is but it would be incorrect to expect the public to point at a movie screen and laugh while a movie production destroys a hold-over from positive childhood memories. Ghostbusters is supposed to be funny. Please, keep it funny and don’t disappoint those who you are asking to buy your product. Afterall, that’s what a movie is. It advertises faith enough in a product to the public, to ask that each person stake an investment in a movie ticket which will help to progress one’s vision, their career, and viability for future projects. I would very much compare that analogy to the tv show “Shark Tank”. I don’t think the people who try to sell their ideas would get very far, if they told the CEO’s that they work for a union and don’t care what they think.
