Het lijkt erop dat de toekomst van Ghostbusters III enorm afhangt van het besluit van Bill Murray om zijn medewerking aan de sequel te verlenen. Sony begint er alleen aan met de man achter Peter Venkman aan boord. Onlangs werden de geruchten dat de acteur de film tegenwerkt, ontkracht. Murray heeft echter de moeite nog niet genomen om het script te lezen.
Producent Joe Medjuck woonde onlangs een screening van Ghostbusters bij in Hollywood en co-scenarist Eisenberg was aan het woord op het Connecticut College. Beiden gingen afzonderlijk van elkaar in op de huidige staat van het derde deel. Allereerst Eisenberg, hij zei het volgende:
Right now, we have a script we havent worked on probably in a couple of months, and were waiting for Bill Murray to read it. People seem excited about it, and the studio seems high on it.
Were very proud of it. We worked really hard on it, and I think itd be a really fun movie.
Naast Eisenberg en zijn partner Stupnitsky hadden enkele voormalige Ghostbusters ook invloed op het script:
Weve been working really closely with Ivan Reitman for a couple years on it. Dan Aykroyd has been really involved. Harold Ramis has been very involved were sharing a story credit on it with him. Then we reworked the script. I mean, that script went through a lot of rewrites, and it kept getting, we think at least, tighter and funnier. It took a little bit to really understand the tone of a movie like Ghostbusters. Its really scary when youre writing characters you grew up on.
The last thing you want to do is disappoint.
Sony says theyd like to make it, everyone thinks its a good script. Bill has heard its a good script, but he hasnt read it. Bills like that he just says hes busy.
