Ghostbusters III soll ab Mai gedreht werden und 2012 in die Kinos kommen, doch obwohl Script, Regie und die meisten der Darsteller bereits feststehen, lässt einer nach wie vor auf sich warten: Bill Murray. In einem neuen Interview mit US-Talker Howard Stern hat ihn dieser nun einmal auf dem Zahn gefühlt und hartnäckig nachgefragt, was denn nun mit seiner Beteiligung am Film sei. Murrays Antwort? Er habe das Script, es aber einfach noch immer nicht gelesen, da es für ihn keine hohe Priorität habe. Er sagt, dass er damals sehr enttäuscht war, dass Ghostbusters II nach einer guten Ideen eher misslungen endete und man Ghostbusters III heute nur machen wolle, um den Franchise wiederzubeleben. Im gleichen Interview lobt er jedoch all die anderen als nette Gesellschaft und sagt, dass er es den anderen eigentlich schulde, mitzumachen.
Was das nun für Ghostbusters III heißt? Noch immer nichts Genaueres, denn Murray wollte ebenso partout nicht sagen, dass er keine Lust habe. Es kommt jetzt also wahrscheinlich darauf an, dass Murray in der für GBIII geplanten Zeit kein interessanteres Projekt findet. Schwitzige Hände bekommt das Ghostbusters-Team, denn bis zum näher rückenden Drehstart im Mai müssen sie für etwaige Änderungen schließlich baldigst wissen, ob er nun dabei ist oder nicht. Ghostbusters III soll ein Abenteuer der alten Ghostbusters werden, die ein neues Team ausbilden, das dann für weitere Sequels übernehmen soll.
Was haltet ihr von Murrays Haltung? Macht er es extra spannend oder haltet ihr es für niederträchtig, dass er nicht einfach definitiv zu- oder absagt?

Stern: Is it true that there is a 'Ghostbusters 3' and that you're the problem and you will not sign off on this? Do you know about this?
Murray: Yeah, I guess I'm the problem. Before I was an asset, [but] now I'm a problem. There's a script somewhere [on my desk], but I haven't read it yet.
Stern: Why haven't you read it? Is it because you think it's a bullsh*t idea? In other words, 'Ghostbusters' has had its time and you did a remarkable job with that and you've moved on?
Murray: There's a little bit of that. I only made one sequel and it was 'Ghostbusters 2' and it didn't end up the way it was presented.
About five years after we did the first one, the clever agents got us all together in a room and we really are funny together, I mean they are funny people Harold [Ramis] and Danny [Aykroyd] and myself, with Ivan [Reitman] and maybe one or two other people. We were just blindingly funny for about an hour or so and the agents, there was just foam coming off of them.
They had this pitch and Danny and Harold had concocted some story ideas and it was a story, it was good story. I think I had even read one or two [scripts for 'Ghostbusters 2'] that Danny had rolled out beforehand, but this one was a good one. I said, 'Ok, we can do that one.'
It was just kind of fun to have all of us together. I mean [Rick] Moranis, Annie [Potts] these people are just sterling people to begin with.
Stern: So how do you go back and really make another? Does Ivan want to make ['Ghostbusters 3']?
Murray: Yeah, Ivan wants to make it and I owe him, you know. He's puzzled that I haven't gotten to this one.
Stern: How long has it been sitting on your desk, this script for 'Ghostbusters'?
Murray: Well, it may not be on the desk it's over there somewhere. How long? I don't know.
Robin Quivers: So you have no interest?
Murray: Well, I'll get to it. I gotta get to it I feel bad. I got a message and I think people I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings it's not the foremost thing in my mind, so I don't think about it.
You know, the studio gets excited every 10 years or so. What they'd really like to do is recreate the franchise. I remember when the new 'Ghostbusters' was going to be Chris Rock, Chris Farley and Chris Crane that had it together.
Stern: Is that a threat to you? In other words, did they try to threaten you by saying we're going to put together a new 'Ghostbusters' and therefore you guys will have to go do it?
Murray: It's not a threat, it's sort of businesslike they'd like to keep it going. There are still kids today that watch this movie and love it, it's still very popular. They still sell a lot of toys and everything. q: screenrant.com
