I sincerely hope this news is legit because I'm tired of having my emotions toyed with.
"Hollywood.com" reports that actor Bill Murray has changed his mind and will in fact be returning as Dr. Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters III. Murray recently stunned reporters at the premiere of his latest movie Hyde Park on the Hudson by telling the masses that he was considering returning to the franchise. This after Dan Aykroyd (who played Ray Stantz in the first two movies) told Metro magazine earlier this year that they were moving on without him.
But don't tell Harold Ramis that.
The man who played Egon Spengler and helped scribe the 1984 classic, told SuperOfficialNews.com how he found out Murray was coming back--from the man himself:
"It was kind of crazy. Just out of nowhere, I get a phone call from Bill at almost three in the morning...and he simply said, 'Yeah OK I'm in!' That's Bill Murray for you. Surprising and straight to the point. Bill also said a major factor in his decision to do the movie had been all the support he received from fans."
Aykroyd has co-written the script along with Paul Horner, and Sigourney Weaver will be back as Dana Barrett while Ivan Reitman will also return as director. Rick Moranis is also rumored to return as Louis Tully if they can get him to come out of self imposed retirement. Other actors such as Ashton Kutcher, Seth Rogen, and Eliza Dushku have been suggested as a new generation of Ghostbusters as well.
Shooting is set to begin next summer.
