Sony Wants Billy Murray To Appear In All-Female GHOSTBUSTERS Reboot

No kidding. Sony's only into the money making business, not the good movie making business.

Sony is desperate in general.
I think a month ago they reported a 2 billions loss for the year

He wont do a Male reboot but a female reboot?

Ugh, get over it sony, please.

Well, good luck with that!

How bout we mix genders? That way it'll appeal to a broader audience. I don't want Bridesmaids 2 in the form of a Ghostbusters film.

But he wouldn't be playing Venkman so whats the point?

Sony can suck a fat one.

@Sipprelle

And yet they seem to be sucking at the money making business.

I could actually see Bill Murray doing this.

The thing is though, he can't reprise his role as Peter Venkman... That was already stated.

He would have to play an entirely different character, which is disappointing.

@Lozzy Hahaha, pretty much. I'm looking at the past couple years and they've just been shitting their pants. Every year they throw out a money maker like Skyfall and the Spider-Mans, but they're pretty obviously quantity over quality.

This movie will be the nail in the coffin for Sony Pictures. Then Disney will buy Spider-Man.

Still want to see some variation of this team though:

Ernie Hudson expressed skepticism about a ghostbusters movie that didnt include any originals

He wasn't asked "would you team up with women?"


And - its very gracious of bill to give a nod to this but don't put the cart in front of the horse

Who's he gonna play, Bosley?

Not the foremost authority on this but...
Bill is pretty selective about what he does - but then again, this is his world and we all just live in it. Would he do it for a huge pay day? I don't know... he, Ramis, Reitman, Aykroyd and Sony own the rights to the movie - this doesn't seem like it should be a surprise news story (your partner who also owns rights to something you own rights to asks you to do something towards that something). Not far-fetched in the least.

Still, my GB3 logic so far: Hudson seemed off about the reboot, Reitman is out, RIP Ramis, good look getting Rick Moranis back into acting, and Murray hasn't been happy with many of the scripts and ideas thrown his way (which if I am not mistaken, is one of the main reasons why he wasn't interested in GB3). Sony needs to do something because they understand that the majority their target audience are hesitant to get on board with anything that robs them of nostalgia or devalues their childhood (this is a legitimate concern they I am sure they have recognized from social media).

This is one reason why I praise Zemeckis and Gale every chance I get in the reboot debate. They were the only ones who had the foresight to have future creative control over their films, love what they did, and are proud of what BTTF means to our culture. They won't let anything remotely related to a reboot or sequel happen on their watch and should be praised for this :D

Sony needs something that is going to be over the top funny, appeal with the same level of humor as the originals, and have some longevity... so, my guess for the cast is Wiig, Stone, McCarthy, and Mya Rudolph. I see Bill Hader being involved, with Rogen, Hill, and Franco to an extent. I see Aykroyd and Potts in supporting roles with Weaver and Hudson, and I think Murray shows up if there is a trade off for something that benefits his interests as an artist later on. I still can't put my finger on a villian - my gut says August to Halloween slated release with a CGI Samhain as the main baddy - logic for August/September/October release date would make sense with this.

Yeah the Bosley type figure
