To my understanding Bill, Harold, Dan, and Ernie are still working on voice overs for the “Ghostbusters” video game. I’m sure we’ll hear from the gang soon on whether or not they will be casted for “Ghostbusters 3”.
I know Bill Murray has constantly denied of playing Peter Venkmen in a live action film again, but I’m sure he had a change of heart about it now that Ghostbusters 3 finally got the greenlight.
I’m sure we’ll hear from the 4 men soon, maybe next week or later this month or in the future. It’s either Columbia already asked them to star in the movie while they were still making the video game and they’re being secretive about it or they haven’t even asked them at all yet.
That Variety article said “they may” return to Ghostbusters 3 so that’s a sign, it’s a possibility Columbia already asked them. It’ll make sense if the 4 comes back to the live action movie they all agreed to do the video game. It’ll seem weird if they are in the video game and not in the movie, that is not good marketing for the video game.
I think Bill, Harold, Dan and Ernie will be in it for sure. It would be wrong if they weren’t in it. The movie would bomb without them. Of course, Dan Aykroyd would agree to be in it ’cause he and Harold has been fighting for a Ghostbusters 3 for many years and they’re dream finally happened! I’m sure Dan Aykroyd would give the “Office” writers lots of good story ideas for the next one as he has done in the first two.

I must admit when I read this yesterday it surprised me, as its been two decades since the last one. I remember the summer of 1984 when Ghostbusters was the smash of the summer season with Ray Parker’s Who’s afraid of that ghost song playing every two minutes. That year was a great one for movies as Gremlins, Beverly hills cop, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom and The karate Kid were all released within weeks of each other. It will be interesting if todays audience will embrace Murray, akroyd and gang in there current state of not being the youngest guys on the block!
