Bill has the “comic role of a lifetime”
Finally, a Ghostbusters 3 story with a bit of meat to chew on.
Vanity Fair spoke with Dan Aykroyd who addressed Bill Murray’s rather negative comments on the proposed sequel and revealed a bit of juicy news.
“He was talking about the writers from Year One, and I think he was reacting to the box-office success and the general public view of the film, which in my view was a very serviceable comedy, and in the end I think theyâ??ll make their money back. I think he was concerned that the writing on Ghostbusters 3 by these guys would not be up to standard, but I can tell you firsthand, I’m working on the script now and those two â?? Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, [writer-producers of The Office] â?? wrote Bill the comic role of a lifetime, and the new Ghostbusters and the old are all well represented in it…we have a strong first draft that Harold [Ramis] and I will take back, and Iâ??m very excited about working on it.
What do you think having a good ol’ ‘buster back on writing duties?
