Apparently
Sony is very interested in bringing
Bill Murray ("Scrooged") back for
Paul Feig's female-led
Ghostbusters reboot. Ramin Setoodeh from
Variety reports:
"According to insiders, the studio would jump at the chance to sign (Bill) Murray for either a cameo or supporting role."
If Murray does accept a role in the film it would be a bit of surprise as he was such a wrench in past plans for a
Ghostbusters 3, he passed on numerous scripts. Though, he was the first former cast member to publicly praise an all-female approach. He even provided his own fan-cast which included: "
Melissa McCarthy ("The Heat"),
Kristen Wiig ("Bridesmaids"),
Linda Cardellini ("Scooby-Doo") and
Emma Stone ("The Amazing Spider-Man"). Below, you can watch a recent
MTV interview in which Emma was asked about Bill's recommendation.
By the way, this Bill Murray news shouldn't come as much of surprise since Paul Feig told
Entertainment Weekly last week he was open to having former
Ghostbusters cast members back for his reboot. I think it 's safe to assume
Ernie Hudson ("The Crow") shouldn't expect a phone call.
