Bill Murray is Definitely Without Question Playing Peter Venkman in ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’
Given it’s a sequel to the original classic, it was expected that director Jason Reitman‘s Ghostbusters: Afterlife would feature the return of the original stars in their original roles, but it’s been tough to get any sort of official word on that. We did recently learn that Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson would be back, and Aykroyd has now confirmed Bill Murray‘s involvement.
“Jason Reitman wrote a beautiful, heartfelt script that takes the DNA from the first two movies and hands the legacy off to a new generation of stars and characters,” Aykroyd said on a recent appearance on The Greg Hill Show. “And we’ve shot our part – myself, [Bill] Murray, Sigourney [Weaver], and Annie Potts. It was really exciting working on this new idea.”
“It’s gonna be scary, it’s gonna be thought-provoking, it’s gonna be heartfelt,” Aykroyd added. “We’ll recognize [the late Harold Ramis] in this film in some way.”
The new film centers on a family that moves back home to a small town where they learn more about who they are.
The confirmed cast also includes Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Carrie Coon, Oliver Cooper, Celeste O’Connor and Logan Kim.
Ghostbusters will return to theaters on July 10, 2020.
