Bill Murray Reportedly Hates 'Ghostbusters 3' Script

Posted 12/21/11 1:12 pm EST by in Horror Bites


Ghostbusters

Another day, another "Ghostbusters 3" rumor — and this one comes from gossip mag The National Enquirer of all places!

The scandalmongers are reporting that after star Bill Murray was sent the latest screenplay of the project, he mailed fellow ghostbusters Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis a nasty present: a box with the script totally shredded inside like confetti. The note attached read, "No one wants to pay money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts!" The Enquirer reports that Dan and Harold were so upset by his response, that they plan on making the movie without him. Dread Central has more on the report.

Sound like a lot of nonsense to you too? Let us know below, and keep on reading for more of the week's Horror Bites.

Sigourney Weaver 'Not Holding Breath' For 'Ghostbusters 3'

Posted 9/16/11 5:28 pm EST by in News


Woe is the plight of the new "Ghostbusters" movie. Despite all the good intentions, the cast being excited to get together again, director Ivan Reitman onboard, and a script by "Year One" writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky in second draft stage, there's really no plan for when and if the production will begin.

MTV News caught up with potential star Sigourney Weaver at the premiere of her new film "Abduction" last night to see if there was any new news to report about the film, and most importantly, if she'd heard anything from notoriously elusive Bill Murray.

"I see Bill every now and then, [but] I'm not holding my breath," she admitted. "I'd like it to work out. I have about six movies coming out so I've been busy without thinking about it, but I hope we do do it."

'Ghostbusters 3' Will Shoot Next Year With Or Without Bill Murray, Says Dan Aykroyd

Posted 8/26/11 12:50 pm EST by in News


Ghostbusters"Ghostbusters 3" is going to begin filming next year. Sony and leading man Bill Murray just don't know it yet.

Outspoken "Ghostbusters" star Dan Aykroyd is swirling the rumor mill again, this time on "The Dennis Miller Show." He told Miller that the plan is to get the movie in front of the camera within the next year despite the fact that Sony still hasn't added it to their line-up and Murray hasn't read the flick's "excellent script" yet. That was the final component that director Ivan Reitman said the movie was missing back in March.

As it turns out, Aykroyd not only isn't being put down by Murray's lack of an involvement, he's implying that the movie could move forward without him.

Bill Hader Gives 'Ghostbusters 3,' 'Les Grossman' Movie Updates

Posted 6/14/11 1:19 pm EST by in Interviews, News, Video


I'd like to start this post off with a hearty heap of praise and admiration for one Bill Hader. This is an actor and comedian with such crazy talent, it blows my mind he's not a massive star. Yet. To quote the great Mindy Kaling and her hilarious Twitter account: "God, when is Bill Hader going to be Bridesmaid'ed or Sarah Marshall'ed? He's the f---ing best and I never swear on twitter."

Anyway! We can be happy about the fact that Hader is a very busy man and has multiple projects in the works, outside of his brilliance on "Saturday Night Live." When MTV News ran into him at the "Super 8" premiere last week, I asked him if there was any truth to his IMDb'assigned role in "Ghostbusters 3."

"I don't know anything about that," he said about the long-delayed, long-rumored third "Ghostbusters" film. "I hear the same way you did. No joke, my friend called me and said, 'Dude, it says you're in Ghostbusters 3?' I'm like, 'I am?' I went online and saw it, [and thoght] 'Thats great.' So yeah, I know nothing."

Bill Murray Reportedly Playing FDR, But What About 'Ghostbusters 3'?

Posted 3/30/11 12:15 pm EST by in Commentary, News


Bill MurrayHe's busted ghosts, survived zombie apocalypses and lost himself in Japan. Why not add President of the United States to the resume?

Bill Murray, who has veered off the path of comedy towards more dramatic roles in recent years, is reportedly tapping into what would arguably be his most ambitious role to date: President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Vulture broke the news that Murray has agreed to star as the polio-afflicted politician in an adaptation of the British radio play "Hyde Park on the Hudson," which Kevin Loader is producing.

We've reached out to Loader's representatives for confirmation on Murray's casting, and we'll bring you an update as soon as possible.

Yahoo Movies got the first look at "Source Code," the trippy sci-fi thriller that forces leading man Gyllenhaal to relive the last eight minutes of another man's life to try to stop a threat that will kill millions of people in downtown Chicago. Needless to say, these first minutes of the movie end with a bang.

There's more news out there today beyond "Source Code." After the jump, find out what the hold up is on "Ghostbusters III," which cast members are returning for "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D" and what the Westboro Baptist Church thought of "Red State."

Dan Aykroyd Confirms Bill Hader, Anna Faris And Eliza Dushku As 'Strong Possibilities' For 'Ghostbusters 3'

Posted 11/30/10 1:00 pm EST by in Casting Call, News


Anna Faris"Ghostbusters 3" might not have a finished script, a green light or a director, but it certainly is gathering quite the cast.

Indiewire reports that in an interview with Chicago radio station WGN, scribe and original Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd confirmed some of the casting rumors that have been swirling around for the past few months. According to Aykroyd, "SNL" funnyman Bill Hader is a "strong possibility" to star in the film, and Aykroyd is also banking on the participation of Anna Faris and Eliza Dushku.

Those three are added to the list of the previously on-board Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver. Aykroyd didn't mention whether Will Forte or original cast members Rick Moranis and Ernie Hudson, who were all rumored to have cameos, might be in for the film... but we wouldn't rule them out just yet. If anything's clear, it's that Aykroyd knows who he's gonna call when he needs some onscreen backup. Read More...

Eliza Dushku On 'Ghostbusters 3': I'd Love To Play Sigourney Weaver's Sister

Posted 10/18/10 12:59 pm EST by in Interviews, News


Eliza DushkuYes, "Ghostbusters 3" is actually happening, with original Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd reportedly close to finishing the script. The details of the plot are pretty sparse, but last year Aykroyd name dropped Eliza Dushku as a star he'd like to see in the film.

When I had the opportunity to chat with Dushku while she was promoting the release of "Dollhouse" season two on DVD and Blu-Ray, she said that she hadn't been approached to join the film, but she would definitely be interested. "It would be an honor to be alongside Sigourney [Weaver]," she said with a laugh. Read More...

'Ghostbusters 3' News: Rick Moranis May Return Along With Another Familiar Character

Posted 8/31/10 1:01 pm EST by in News


It's been awhile since I had an opportunity to rave about "Ghostbusters 3." As a fan of the series, I'm willing to overlook a lot of things. But after I saw "Year One," which the sequel's writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky penned, I had to back away a little bit. Hate to say it, but that's really not a very good movie.

There's also been precious little news about "Ghostbusters 3." Until now. An insider has been talking, and apparently the original foursome -- including noted holdout Bill Murray -- are on board, according to Bloody Disgusting. It seems even Rick Moranis is considering emerging from retirement for another outing with his old pals. Best of all though... there's some plot info. Careful though, it's a bit on the spoiler-y side. Continue at your own risk. Read More...
