Bill Murray Signs On the Dotted Line for Ghostbusters 3 and 4!
Bill Murray may have held out when it came to signing on for the new Ghostbusters movie, but the news that has come with it makes up for his tardiness. Apparently Murray will star not only in Ghostbusters 3 but also part 4 of the series which are set to begin filming in 2012.
Murray will join Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson for the films which will be released Christmas 2012 and Christmas 2013.
Over the last 12 months talk about Ghostbusters 3 has reached a frenzied pace as more of the original films actors signed on for roles, however Bill Murray wasn’t pleased with drafts of the films script. Dan Aykroyd then announced that he was taking over script writing responsibilities from Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg.
Director Ivan Reitman told PopEater of Murray’s need for script approval:
“Bill loves these characters as much as we all do, and it was simply a matter of nailing the timing.”
The two new movies will showcase the Ghostbusters training a new generation of cadets, which in turn could lead to a long shelf life for the series should fans agree to continue watching new actors take on the role of Ghostbusters.
Rumor has it that Peter Venkman (Bill Murray’s character) may return as a ghost, as Murray wants to take the character in a new direction.

April Fools, Bob?
Jun 2, 2011
And I doubt its them coming together for GB. Read some Murray interviews. The reason why its such an april fools joke is because he hates everything about the new movie, especially the script.

Bill Murray is a douche, i could care less if murray likes the script…he hated gb2 n' i thought it was as good as the first, he has no actual writing credit like Akroyd and Ramis… hes just a big mouth ass that plays the same character in every movie hes in…. why not throw on the flight suit and make a bunch more millions. Honestly i hope they do kill Murray at the start of the movie and thats it, i dont even want his dumb ass as a ghost. He likes to say… i dont like this script, or that one, or this, but has he ever tried to throw out some ideas? nope, just sits there being a negative asshole.

as a fan of the ghostbusters films & cartoons I think there secretly getting everything ready for the ghostbusters 3 movie everyone says its all up to bill murray hes holding it up but as you can see when you look up anything on bill murray ether online or on youtube for interviews you'll get that he doesn't say no or even if hes read the script yet he doesn't say anything I been looking online for any news on ghostbusters 3 and they all say not much about it what gets me is if it really isn't getting made then why in a interview say stuff like oh uh um stumbling on an answer sounding like they aren't allowed to say anything duhh cause it is being made secretly because ghostbusters is the biggest franchise next to the simpsons if they say anything it could ruin the chances of it being made even if bill isn't on bored I'm ready to have new busters I'm all for passing the torches one reason this hasn't been made yet is cause of the long time fans that cant grasp passing the torches thing GET OVER IT! the originals all said they want to pass it on so let them for god's sake now its up to us to picture witch actors we would like to see as the new recruits cause its obvious they want the fans input if they didn't the 3rd movie would have been made by now I herd there doing a 3 and 4 by xmas of both next 2 years 012 and 013 training the new busters I'd like to see the hole franchise be rebooted not just the movies but for tv as well as in the post above there thinking on making a tv show when the movie hits it big inwitch it will when it comes I'd like to see a new cartoon with the new busters I loved both real and extreme ghostbusters it be so awsome to see something new happen with a cartoon I also think if there going to put girls as new busters then add some that's like the one in extreme ghostbusters not pritty but can be cute in her own gothic way that's the ownly way its ganna work having some pritty witch will ruin it one last thing the new recruits should be twenty something straight out of college 2 of em are fans of the originals and 2 are tossed in like peter & winston was peter kinda lost job and had nothing better to do and winston was looking for a job as in ray & egon were already on bored the buster train cause it might feel weird if there any older as newbies so no one like Alyssa Milano get people that can get the long time fans to love them not just toss any ol actors in and for god's sake change the garbageman style jump suits this isn't the 80's anymore use ghostbuster jackets in white & red like the ecto 1 I mean we all love the classic ecto 1 style right so why not use that as new suites.
