Bill Murray Finally Confirms Involvement in ‘Ghostbusters III’
Now that the cat is out of the bag, Bill Murray has opened up to talking about his role in Columbia Pictures’ Ghostbusters III. The stipulation? “I’ll come back in Ghostbusters III only if I get to be a ghost,” Murray told Mail Online confirming that he will in fact be returning (assuming the movie ever gets off the ground). “I said to them, ‘I’ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.’ So now they are going to have me as a ghost in the film.” As reported here on Bloody Disgusting, Ivan Reitman will return to direct with Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver all rumored to be returning. Penned by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the new flick follows a new breed of Ghost Busters who are passed the torch (one being a female).
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
