Bill Murray: "Ghostbusters 3 is Dead"

Ghostbusters all ready have enough sequels if you ask me!
They are an animated series called The Real Ghostbusters and The Extreme Ghostbusters! And they are great! We dont need anything else!

I kinda liked the idea of the kid all grown up and Bill Murray as a ghost....oh well...

It's better to leave this franchise back in the 80's where it belongs than to try to resurrect it and wind up ruining it.

The first one still has the single funniest sight gag I ever saw. Let's leave it as a treasured memory of the 80s.

Well at least Year One had some sort of positive impact.

It's been on cable all month. I stopped on it a few times... briefly. Just terrible.

Looks like I'm gonna have to go to Hollywood and clean house. A bottle of whiskey and a bag of knives.

I think we could've all gathered that Year One sucked based on the fact that it had Jack Black in it.

I new this would happen.

this was just snippets of that interview, here is another link with a little more that was posted:

i agree with superzero, he never said that, so i have no idea why that would be used as the title of the article or headline.. also, i usually keep my mouth shut when people relentlessly bash movies and sequels being made from different franchises, but this is something i personally stand for so it pisses me off a little that this is getting bashed as well, i just don't want GB3 haters overpowering the real fans who genuinely want it to happen, like myself, it's not fair, but i do respect that everyone is entitled to their opinion.. so, technically, "Ghostbusters 3 is NOT dead"..

murray has always been the pessimist about the third installment. he doesn't know sh1t. he said he's down to do it then he says its a crock? what the fawk are we suppose to believe? come on Columbia..."We're ready to believe you"

Christopher Nolan: "Batman 3 is Dead..."
"...ly close to going into production!"

LOL couldn't help it! Thanks Gus! When the first one came out I was like 5 and vividly remember watching it from the back of my parent's station wagon at the Drive-In, remember those? I had all of the action figures and 2 of the proton pack toys and even a toy ghost trap. We loved using my dad's beat up beta-max camera to make our own Ghostbusters movies. I am really in love with the idea of Venkman as a ghost and would love to see this get made but only in the love and spirit(I love puns) of the original! Anyway everyone else besides Murray could use the paycheck!

I don't understand what's keeping Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis from writing the third film. They wrote the first two movies and they apparently had enough time to write a Ghostbusters video game which is 10 times as much dialogue and detail, yet they wanted to entrust the third movie to a newer group of writers from The Office. Am I missing something here? Do they really have that much on their plates right now that they can't put together a script for this?

I chatted briefly with Ernie Hudson recently and he said that there is a script for GB3 but not everyone in the core group liked it. He specifically mentioned "Billy" (very cool moment, by the way)... in that Bill Murray shrugged at the most recent script. I think his comment was something like, "Billy's perception of good is different than most people," which sounds pretty accurate and what I'd assume.

He also said, however, that the last time he talked to "Sigorney" and "Danny Akroyd" (equally cool!), they were both in. I got the feeling that he liked the script too... hedid mention the hesitation over Year One, oddly enough. But basically, it was the script issue... and he did say that last time he heard directly from Murray was that if the story is good enough, he would be in too.... whatever that is worth to y'all.

I, for one, grew up reciting EVERY LINE from GB1 at single digits in age, so yes, I would love to see part 3 happen, but I agree that they all have to want it. He did NOT mention Rick Moranis... where the hell has THAT guy been?? Hehe... I bet if they did do it, he'd come outta' retirement. I'dhope so. Need that Louis Tully fix!

Are you [frick]ing kidding me?!!!!!!! Why does stupid ass movies get greenlit but I can't have Ghostbusters 3?! What horseshit this is.

@ecksmanfan it's fine, you just scared me with the title! lol i understand the pun you were going for now too, with the venkman ghost idea.. no harm done, but i have every bit of movie faith banking on this, so that's why i was so jumpy earlier, and @superzero, i totally agree with you on all that, i was 3 or 5 when i first saw and fell in love with the franchise, the toys! the mythology and backstory! the character development! lol also, once i got into my teens, wrestling became another passion, and made ghostbusters feel nostalgic to me, but still i feel it's always been a strong part of my life.. i would say my influences in life are always 25% ghostbusters and all things paranormal including ghost hunting, 25% NIN and my own music as well, 25% pro wrestling and my ambitions in the ring, and 25% family guy and my comedy animations.. so, a good good quarter of my life is inspired by ghostbusters.. ghostbusters and KISS opened many doors for me, they helped shape who i am as a person, so that's why i show more attention then usual when these articles come up, so no offense to anyone, no harm done or given, and it's really good to see a lot of people as passionate as i am about this! ;)

yeah year one blew i really didnt find it funnny, im not a fan of michael cera anyways

If your gonna do it, you need Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, Hudson, Moranis and Annie Potts. Keep this away from all of this new talent and keep it original. Dont go 3D use crap special effects (it's not avatar). Stay away from gimmicks. You do all of that then the film will turn out perfect.

Jahozafat is getting really ticked off! I want Ghostbusters 3!

i think ghostbusters should be handled in either 2 ways and it doesnt have the "3" at the end of the title...A) they should do a reboot, maybe give it a more serious and darker tone (or maybe not, cld go either way, altho i dont know how serious one can be w a goofy looking proton pack on their back lol) or B) make it a continuation with new up and coming GB without the OG cast with exception of Dan Ackroyd.

well bill murray is kind of an ass from what i hear, i dont think he wanted anything to do with the movie. i mean you know how long it took to finally get him on board for the game. either bill is still the man
