‘Ghostbusters 3’ on the Brink of Death
I’m seriously getting so sick of reporting on this, especially because there’s nothing ever positive to say, but once again we have to tell you that Bill Murray is holding up Ghostbusters 3.
Deadline reports that Murray is courted to play Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the Roger Michell-directed Hyde Park on the Hudson. If he agrees, the movie goes green immediately. The ramifications would be the indefinite delay of a third Ghostbusters, as the site’s sources state that the movie will only be made with the blessings of Murray.
And it gets more sour; even though Sony Pictures and the Ghostbusters creative team built a sequel around Murray, they reports the actor still hasn’t contacted the studio to tell them if he’s even read the script script by “The Office” writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky that was delivered to him at the beginning of the year.
Yay(?), a new movie about Franklin D. Roosevelt…

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
