The Story Behind Ghostbusters 3

Strap on your proton packs - we're going to Hell and back!


2001 – Murray turns them down

Despite previous reports that Murray would crop up in the movie for at least a cameo, 2001 saw Dan Aykroyd’s mood get even lower.

"No, we can't do another one – the rights are all tied up, he tells the Chicago Sun-Times, adding that the problem is not the studio, but…

"Other parties. It's the Ghostbusters. It would be nice to get us all to agree, but impossible. There's a reason Bill won't agree. Someone once didn't agree with him. Now he doesn't agree with someone.  Listen, Bill is a friend of mine and just because he doesn't want to explore this concept is no reason to impair our friendship. He wants to move on to new work and new things. I can't blame him."

Some of the new things Murray has since worked on? Osmosis Jones. Charlie’s Angels. Both Garfields.

And some good movies, too. But come on, Bill!

      Total agreement - it NEEDS the original cast, it NEEDS a kick*ss script, and I think the Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd team would be fantastic, because they already have fantastic chemistry, and they are good actors. So long as it doesn't turn into a farts 'n' giggles flick. Keep it funny, keep it good!

      They need to do the Hell style Manhattan with that siffler guy. It keeps with the two toned action- adventure/ Horror & comedy genre that the first two did so well. I think these guys who write the office will just make some gags and one liners, and not a really gripping story like the first 2. But you never know. It could be amazing And I'm also down with Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, I love those guys. Who cares if they are i everything, they are great and they should be in everything, and I know they can pull off the chemistry of the 1st Ghostbuster members.
