Ernie Hudson Points Finger at Bill Murray Over ‘Ghostbusters 3’ Delay
Oh boy, here we go again. When there are a handful of egos involved in any project, there are bound to be problems. Such the case with Ghostbusters 3, Columbia Pictures’ hotly anticipated sequel that’s had its fair share of problems, most of which keep being swept publicly under the rug. While Dan Aykroyd plays “good cop”, the rest of the cast have been very outspoken about the “Bill Murray delays”. Ernie Hudon, who plays Winston Zeddemore in the Ghostbusters franchise, is the latest to chime in.
“Dan and Harold are working on the script,” Hudson tels Movie Mikes. “If it happens we will see but Bill has been the hold up. His definition of good is a little bit different than everybody elses. So we will see, I would love to see it happen. I know the fans have been asking for it … so hopefully.”
He continues, “Bill’s a great guy, he’s kind of quirky but I love him. He’s a guy who is very much into what he’s feeling. I know he really cares about his work, which is probably why there hasn’t been another Ghostbusters as of yet.”
Assuming the movie ever gets off the ground (a May start is rumored), Ivan Reitman will direct the returning cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, and Sigourney Weaver. Anna Faris, Bill Hader and Will Forte are three names being thrown around to join the cast.
Lead by Dana and Peter’s lovechild, Oscar, a new breed of Ghost Busters are passed the torch…
The trailer for the upcoming found footage horror movie Sundown seeks to determine whether its haunting is demonic or dementia.
The found footage nightmare is set to premiere at Mad Monster Party in North Carolina and Houston Horror Film Fest in August.
In Sundown, “Mary, whose husband has recently died of dementia, claims his spirit is haunting her house. When her estranged son Chris learns that Mary believes she is being haunted, he arrives with his filmmaker friend Bill and a spiritualist named Clarissa with the intention of proving to Mary that it’s all in her head. They soon discover the truth is far more disturbing than they could have ever imagined.”
Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Haunt), Emily Sweet (V/H/S/95, Castle Freak), Chris Alexander, Kelly Waters, Erich Rausch, and Michael Leavy (Terrifier, Stream) star.
Sundown is directed by Marcus Slabine (The Dark Offerings) and Brian Klingborg, who also wrote the screenplay.
“The second I read Brian’s script, I knew I wanted to direct it. It had everything I love about horror: grounded characters, mounting tension, and a mystery that keeps getting darker the deeper you go. I feel when found footage is done right, we wanted every scare to feel earned and every performance to feel real, so when the horror finally hits, it hits hard. I’m incredibly proud of what our incredible cast and crew accomplished, and truly can’t wait to unleash the film onto the world,” Slabine said in a statement.
Klingborg adds, “The inspiration for SUNDOWN came from a true story that Chris shared with me about a death in his family. The strange and unsettling events surrounding that experience stayed with me and became the foundation for the screenplay. I wanted to explore the fragile line between love, grief, and horror, and how loss can leave us questioning what’s real. In an incredible twist of fate, we ended up filming SUNDOWN in the very house where the real events took place, adding an authenticity and atmosphere that we could never have recreated anywhere else.”
The upcoming film is not to be confused with Sundown, the vampire revenge movie from Rebekah McKendry.
