Why Bill Murray is Turning Down Ghostbusters 3
- Bill Murray was never the first choice to play Venkman. The role was written for Belushi, but when he died Colombia offered him the part.
- Bill Murray accepted, but made a deal with Colombia to greenlight the spiritual movie Razor’s Edge.
- Murray starred in GB2 only because he was obligated. Murray hated the experience and swore to never do sequels again in his life.
- Murray did shoot a sequel for Garfield, but that story is pretty weird. In fact, he signed for Garfield thinking that it was written by one of the Coen brothers. It turns out (quite obviously) that it wasn’t. Once again, he had an obligation to do a sequel.
- With Groundhog Day, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis had a fallout. Ramis wanted to do a comedy and Murray felt that the story needed to be more spiritual.
- Ghostbusters 3 is written by the screenwriters of Year One, which was very poorly received…and directed by Ivan Reitman (director of Ghostbusters…and possibly Ghostbusters 3).
- Ivan Reitman has made bad comedies one after another in the recent years.
- Dan Aykroyd wasn’t up for it a few years ago.
THAT’S WHY.

Reblogged from Flickchart Duel: Groundhog Day vs Green Mile
Green Mile is a great Frank Darabont movie, with amazing performances and such powerful scenes, but I must admit prefering Groundhog Day. Even if it appears as a light comedy on the surface, the meaning of the story is so much deeper. It’s the spiritual journey of a selfish man.
It also has to be in my top 3 favorite Bill Murray movies (with Ghostbusters and Rushmore).
Winner: Groundhog Day
I’m doing this on flickchart.
Stephen Tobolowsky, who you should know for his incredible podcast, talks about his experience on the set of Groundhog Day.
“Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ‘cause it’s cooooold out there today”
It’s Groundhog Day!
What would you sing with Bill Murray if he would show up at your karaoke party?
Other than the songs in Lost in Translation, I got You Babe or the theme of Ghostbusters.
My choice: My Way (Sid Vicious)
“So I sat down and watched the whole thing, and I kept saying, “Who the hell cut this thing? Who did this? What the fuck was Coen thinking?” And then they explained it to me: It wasn’t written by THAT Joel Coen.”
Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Will Forte to join Ghostbusters 3?
Apparently, Sony eyes Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Will Forte in the sequel/reboot of Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters 3 rumors have been going on for decades now, so don’t take this too seriously (let’s all remember in 98-99, when Will Smith was rumored for Ghostbusters 3). But it sounds like a realistic casting, especially for Faris.
What do you think? Who would you call cast?
