Bill Murray To Appear In New ‘Ghostbusters’!

“All right! This chick is TOAST!”

After years of turmoil, Bill Murray could be haunting Paul Feig’s new Ghostbusters, says THR.

While the extent of his role is uncertain, it’s said to be a cameo, probably along the lines of Dan Aykroyd’s mysterious appearance. Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne is also set to make an cameo.

Murray allegedly filmed a scene in the new Ghostbusters is this summer’s biggest shocker, especially after such a long and well documented hesitancy to be a part of the universe.

Murray originally portrayed Dr. Peter Venkman in the first two films, which hit theaters in 1984 and 1989. Murray told Letterman earlier this year that he was loathe to appear in a new Ghostbusters property after Ghostbusters II didn’t receive the same acclaim as the first film.

In January, we reported that Murray might play, “…Martin Heiss, a man who is a professional supernatural debunker who is out to prove that the Ghostbusters are frauds.” The role is a hysterical flip on his portrayal as Dr. Peter Venkman in which he tormented William Atherton’s Walter Peck, who eventually shut down the containment unit, setting loose thousands of haunts across New York City.

Murray’s involvement in a new Ghostbusters film has been a long and difficult road. Back in 2012, Aykroyd stated that Murray would not be involved in a third film, which was going to be directed by Ivan Reitman and was rumored to bring back Aykroyd, alongside Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, and Sigourney Weaver in their respective roles. However, in September of last year, Reitman harbored hopes that Murray would return, saying, “…he never says yes until literally just before the shoot.

The highlight, though, was word that Murray had shredded the script and sent it back to Sony and the film’s producers.

Ghostbusters is currently filming in Boston, where Murray was spotted, and stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth. It will haunt theaters on July 22nd, 2016.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
