On the press tour for “Avatar,” Sigourney Weaver’s broke ranks on the script for “Ghostbusters 3.”
She confirms that she’s been asked to read the script, although she does say “I don’t know if I’m going to be in it.”
She doesn’t sound terribly enthusiastic for it either saying, “I’m afraid to say it [‘Ghostbusters 3’] is happening, I hope people are excited about that.”
She suggests that the son of her character from the previous movie will be a big part of the film. “I know that my little son Oscar – who was kidnapped from me – I think he has grown up to be a ghostbuster.”
But the big news is what she reveals about Bill Murray’s character — “I might be in it; I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don’t think I will have a big part. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it – he’s a ghost.” Man, it’s a good thing Weaver wasn’t in “The Sixth Sense,” or that movie would have surprised a lot fewer people…
Sounds like “Ghostbusters 3” writers Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg and Harold Ramis have figured out a way to include Murray in the film, while not testing his cantankerousness and impatience. Hell, maybe all his stuff could be done a on a green screen far away from the set and all the other actors? That might be best for everyone involved.
