Bill Murray will NOT be in Ghostbusters 3D

After years of back and forth, on again off again news, it seems that we finally have a definite piece of news concerning the next Ghostbusters flick.

Writer/Director Dan Akroyd sat down with London's The Telegraph for an interview. Naturally the talk drifted towards the often talked about and much anticipated next installment of the Ghostbusters franchise and Bill Murray's possible involvement and this is what he had to say:


"I honestly don't know. At this point it's in suspended animation," he said when asked about the film's status. "The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and 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. He'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 that bombshell dropped the movie seems even less likely to go into production now, and would we even WANT a Ghostbusters movie without Peter Venkman in it in at least some capacity? Of course with the screams of fans and possibly enough money thrown his way, Murray may yet change his mind, but sadly that seems unlikely.

What are your thoughts? Let us know in the forum!

R.I.P. Bill Hinzman

  It is a sad, sad duty to have to report the death of Bill Hinzman whom you will know as Graveyard Zombie, one of the genres most iconic zombies, in the original Night of the Living Dead.

He passed away Feb. 5th after a battle with cancer. He was 75.

Bill continued to work with Romero on such movies as There's Always Vanilla, Season of the Witch and The Crazies and also tried his hand at directing with Flesh Eater.

Bill was also a fixture on the convention circuit where he always had a smile, handshake and a story for his fans. I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Hinzman several years ago and it is something that I will always remember.

RIP Mr.Hinzman, you will be missed...
