Hey, kids! It’s that time of the week again when we give you a little bit of information that serves to do nothing but infuriate and frustrate you! Why do we do it? The same reason you keep reading it … because bustin’ makes us feel good!
According to io9 on the latest episode of “The Best Show” on WFMU, Tom Scharpling and John Hodgman talked a great deal about Ghostbusters 3. And Hodgman revealed that he’s currently doing some “secret errands” for Dan [Aykroyd] — and heavily implied his involvement in the film.
“If you were hypothetically offered a role in Ghostbusters 3… would you take the role? Let’s say you’re [playing] sort of the dissolute son of Egon, the Harold Ramis character, and you’re kind of like John Candy in Splash, you’re kind of a mess. But it turns out you’re a natural ghost-whisperer, a natural psychic. But here’s the thing: Bill Murray’s not going to be in this movie, and probably not happy that you are. But you get to be in a major role, in a major movie and one of the greatest franchises of all time. Would you do it?”
Stay tuned for more soon … with or without Bill Murray.
