During a news conference in New York, Sci-Fi Wire had the chance to speak to Bill Murray, who revealed that he's open to reprising his "Ghostbusters" role of Peter Venkman in a proposed third movie.
"There's two fellows from 'The Office' that are writing a script, but I've yet to see it," said Murray. "And I'm more involved with, you know, trying to get the dessert we ordered at lunch than I am with the new 'Ghostbusters' sequel. But it's possible. It's a great idea that they hired these two guys to do it, because I think it could be a fresh look at it. And it could be funny."
The original Ghostbusters was released in 1984 and is widely considered a comedy classic. The first sequel, "Ghostbusters II," opened in 1989 and wasn't nearly as successful financially or critically. Murray recalled his disappointment with "Ghostbusters II."
"So they had this idea, but it didn't turn out to be the idea when I arrived on the set. They'd written a whole different movie than the one [initially discussed]," said Murray. "And the special-effects guys got it and got their hands on it. And it was just not the same movie. There were a few great scenes in it, but it wasn't the same movie. So there's never been an interest in a third 'Ghostbusters' because the second one was kind of disappointing ... for me, anyway."
