Dan Aykroyd Gives Update On Status of Ghostbusters 3 Without Murray

Do you want to see Ghostbusters 3 without Bill Murray? Dan Aykroyd does!

Aykroyd recently spoke to the press about the status of Ghostbusters 3 and the status of Bill Murray. Here’s what he had to say:

“At this point it’s in suspended animation. The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and [co-star] Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn’t want to be involved.

[Murray’s] got six kids, houses all over America. He golfs in these tournaments where they pay him to turn up and have a laugh. He’s into this life and living it. I know we’d have a lot of fun [but] I can’t be mad at him. He’s a friend first, a colleague second. We have a deep personal relationship that transcends business and he doesn’t want to know.”

With all that in mind, he still has hope for the fate of the long awaited movie:

“We’re not going to do a movie that exploits the franchise. The script has to be perfect. I’m the cheerleader, but I’m only one voice in the matter. It’s a surety that Bill Murray will not do the movie, however there is still interest from the studio.”
