For the past couple of months, we’ve brought you a lot of stories about the potential third installment in the “GhostBusters” franchise.
And while there may be a lot of news circulating about the potential film, actor Bill Murray says that a third film is just a “myth.”
“It’s just really the movie studio. They love the franchise, they’d just like to re-create it again. All this talk is just talk. It drives me nuts, it’s just people talking…Until someone actually creates a great script it’s just hogwash, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s interesting that people are interested in it, they’d like to see it. It was a great thing, it really was fun. Maybe it should. And if it’s such a good idea, then someone will write the screenplay,” Murray tells CinemaBlend.
He also dismissed the third installment to web site, ComingSoon.
“It’s really the world of sequels and bringing these things back again, and then some wiseacre said, ‘Hey, we got a couple of new writers who are gonna write something.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, well, maybe there’ll be some writers’ and there was always this joke, sort of a half-true, half-joke thing like, ‘Well, I’ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.’ That was my joke, you know?,” he says. “So supposedly someone was writing a script where I actually got killed in the first reel and became a ghost, which I thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of clever anyway.’ But then these guys that were supposedly the writers that were going to do it, they wrote a film that came out and people saw the film and went… ‘We’re not going to do it after all, are we?’ So it’s just a kind of a dreamy thing.”
That does seem to differ from what other participants in the potential sequel have said. Harold Ramis has said that a new “GhostBusters” movie could be in production by the end of the year.
We’ll keep our eyes on the story for more developments.
